What is going on at Stoke City at the moment? All the latest Potters news here

Despite the international break being underway, things at Stoke City have not been quiet with plenty happening in the background at the Bet365 Stadium. 

It’s been a mixed season for Stoke City so far this season. They enjoyed a positive first half of the campaign which has faded into battling to stay midtable.

The early season promise is now a distant memory for Stoke and with them currently sitting in 15th with 49 points, they’ll be hoping for a strong finish after the international break.

With that in mind, here we take a look at some of the news surrounding Stoke City this week.

Owners long-term commitment

Earlier this week, news broke of the club’s hierarchy announcing their long-term commitment by reducing the debts of the clubs holding company by £160m. This news comes after the announcement was made about the stadium being transferred to the owners of the bet365 Group the previous week.

In the statement released by Joint Chairman John Coates, it said: “Converting £40m of loans into equity and waiving £120m of loans greatly strengthens the club’s balance sheet and also provides more long-term stability for the Club.

Ryan Shawcross also had his say on the matter, telling the Stoke Sentinel: “To write off this amount of debt just shows how much they love the club and how desperate they are for the club to be successful again.”

It’s a huge step forward for Stoke who have wracked up this significant debt and this commitment from the owners means long-term planning can be put in place. It’s the pillar for any Championship side and the stability should see them become more successful in the coming campaigns.
