Snowflake Royal Never going to happen. A new coach, maybe. But bringing in someone like you describe undercuts Stam's authority, sends mixed messages and clouds the leadership at the club.
We've seen a few clubs bring in director's of football to 'help' the managers in their role (different to the normal dof role) and it usually involves the manager getting sacked shortly after having been undermined.

But with full support of Stam, why would it undermine him? Some guru turns up, watches 20 videos of our games, stands next to Stam in training and they bark orders together. If anything, it strengthens Stam because it shows the trust the board has in him and that directions in the future are not stupid, they’re backed by even better football brains!

It's not a bad idea but the only trouble is that Stam might think he could be hiring his successor. You'd also think that he'd have enough top contacts in former managers to be able to reach out for advice without the club needing to formally hire him a mentor.

Forbury Lion Stam comes across as too stubborn to listen to a mentor..... I'm sure Sir Alex Fergusson would forgive him and answer the phone if he could bring himself to call asking for advice, likewise his ex Man Utd team mates who have, relatively speaking, been more successful managing teams at this level..... I doubt he even asks his own assistant manager for advice.
Maybe the club could also line up mentors for Ron Gourlay and Brian Tevreden who have more experience of managing a football club and being a director of football at one....... or better still, just replace all three of them with people who can do a better job.
