Potters baffled by Scholes link

Reports have suggested the Potters are lining up an offer of a playing-coaching role for United legend Scholes. Gary Megson's Trotters have also been linked with a move for the former England international, but Coates insists Stoke have no plans to move for the 34-year-old. "I know nothing about it and neither does (chief executive) Tony Scholes. I haven't spoke to Tony Pulis yet, but I doubt he knows anything about it either," Coates told the Stoke Sentinel. "I spoke to Tony on Thursday and we discussed nothing of that kind. We know what players we are looking for and who we want. "When I speak to Tony, we talk about players coming in and players going out. I don't know where this story has come from, but there is no substance to it."
