A potted history of museums in the Potteries Part 4 -
In the early years of the 21st century there was an optimistic sense that years of hard work securing external recognition and investment for Stoke-on-Trent’s museums was bearing fruit.

But storm clouds were gathering. Constant Council restructuring saw the museum service move from Museums, Arts & Heritage Department into Leisure and Cultural Services, then Regeneration & Heritage. The service remained at divisional level, headed by an Assistant Director.
In the meantime, there were significant developments on the wider museum front. In 2001, after much lobbying, in particular from the Group for Large Local Authority Museums, Resource (the Museums, Libraries & Archives Commission) published its Renaissance in the Regions report.
WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT STROKE
Stroke is when there is poor blood flow to the brain causing brain damage and rapid symptoms.
It's a medical emergency. You need to act FAST to save the remaining parts of the brain as every second counts!

There are 2 main types of stroke;
1. #Ischemic stroke: due to blockage of a blood vessel in the brain
2. #Hemorrhagic stroke: due to bleeding directly into the brain or into the space between the membranes that cover it (meninges)

These 8 factors can make you more likely to have stroke
1. High blood pressure: No. 1
2. Obesity
3. Diabetes
4. Smoking
5. High blood cholesterol
6. Kidney disease

A positive analysis (for once) of #SCFC goals against #LTFC this afternoon (a thread). Two goals and two examples of simple, yet effective positioning when attacking crosses/balls from wide areas. Also an example of why the 3-5-2 works...sometimes... (1/5) #Stoke #StokeCity
Why the 3-5-2 (occasionally) works. The absence of a winger and Campbell’s central starting position, draws in their FB and creates space in wide areas for Campbell to exploit (yellow circle). (2/5) #SCFC #StokeCity #Stoke
Steven Fletcher’s movement and Nick Powell’s positioning. Fletcher moves to the ball and Powell checks his run into the box to create space (yellow circle) for Fletcher. Fletcher then moves away to back post and blindside of defender. Excellent movement and anticipation! (3/5)
Watching the #SCFC #QPR game back from yesterday and unsurprisingly, all of the back four have had an absolute shocker. Strap yourself in for some graphic content! There’s a lot of horrific defending to be analysed... (1/11)💀#stokecity #stoke #football #analysis
We start with the first #QPR goal. Things look good from here. Two banks of 4 and in a fairly decent shape. I’ve circled Smith but also look at Chester and BMI’s position in relation to Batth. Should give you a clue about what’s about to go down... (2/11)
Play develops and Smith is the free player. He has to block the pass behind the defence. It’s literally his only job here. His effort is weak. Chester and BMI are 5 yards behind Batth, allowing space for Hugill to move into. Butland not covered himself in glory either! (3/11)
Stoke Managers 🤔
We’ve tried a lot of different manager types over the last few years! Despite trying different methods, we’ve continually come unstuck.
Interesting to compare and contrast...

Tony Pulis
Style: Direct, physical, wide attack, target man.
Personality: Transparent, hard working manager who expected the same from his team. Dished out discipline.
Downfall: Longevity of tenure lost players interest and fans belief in his style.
Success: ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Mark Hughes
Style: More flair play, two sitting CMs to allow fluid movement up top.
Personality: Closed off to the media, occasionally prickly, regularly fractious vs managers.
Downfall: Could not organise or purchase solid defenders. Repeated bad recruitment.
Success: ⭐️⭐️⭐️
