Good work. The Rambling Man 17:06, 11 July 2007 (UTC)
"Tom Mather was appointed manager later in 1923 although Stoke were unable to mount another promotion challenge and were relegated from the Second Division four years later in the 1925–26 season." Could benefit from a break somewhere. J.Winklethorpe talk 22:22, 4 September 2007 (UTC)
I've made another graph for the History of Stoke City F.C. page. It needs tidying up a bit before "going live": the managerial tenure dates need to be made more accurate (I can get them from SoccerBase) and I think the manager's name tags can be aligned better. These things can be fixed quite easily but I wanted to get some feedback from you all before doing any more work on it.-- Payo ( talk) 12:36, 6 October 2008 (UTC)
Can somebody please protect this page? Edits such as these are not befitting a featured article appearing on the Main Page. -- Candlewicke :) Sign/ Talk 16:15, 16 October 2008 (UTC)
"The club joined the Football League upon its formation in 1888, making them the second oldest club in the Football League." This sentence doesn't seem to make sense to me, but I don't know enough about the subject to rephrase it in a way that explains what's really meant. I assume it means that Stoke were the second oldest (ie second earliest founded) of the clubs that joined the league on its formation. But that doesn't, per se, make them "the second oldest club in the Football league". Surely it's not actually relevant (to the point being made) that Stoke joined the league on its formation? If another club with more ancient roots had joined later and was still in the league today, they'd still be an "older club in the league" than Stoke, wouldn't they?
