Several years ago, they'd have been ideal but they haven't done anything of note for years. It would make more sense in our situation after Bruce to be more forward thinking and to follow Villa's suit when they replaced him with someone on the rise in Dean Smith. Dean Smith was not deemed good enough for Wed's by some fans on here. I wanted him 2 years ago, but then I wanted Bruce as soon as he walked out on Dull City 3 years ago.

Beauchief Owl Posted September 1, 2019 Share Posted September 1, 2019 Pulis, I do not want. If he has turned us down once already, let him go elsewhere. Rowett or Monk for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frazzlebeak Posted September 1, 2019 Share Posted September 1, 2019 Please.....not Pauli’s. Need a huge change. Only know the Crowley’s from Lincoln but can’t argue with their achievements. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrueOwl Posted September 1, 2019 Share Posted September 1, 2019 Just think who we could bring in on the same wedge. We need to go left field and make a Bielsa type transformative appointment. Joss was pure crap sure, admittedly going continental or south American is always going to come with risk, I just hope DC does some serious research and the plan isn't just give it Bully till it goes boobies up. I'm hoping we are doing our homework which is the reason for this delay not that we're entertaining the thought of scouring through the old championship rolodex if the poo hits the fan. We need to think more Newells old boys than the championship old boys we're seemingly tapping up. Where is our Bielsa? The kind of target i'd like to see is somebody with experience like Beilsa somebody like Gerado Martino who if we could poach it could be a game-changer and put us on the map again as a footballing side. Here is an overview of his tactical style at Atlanta United: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gerardo_Martino 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stoke- promoted after 22 years out of the top league by finishing 2nd in the championship 2008/09. 12th in the PL 2009/10. 11th in PL 2010/11. 13th in PL, plus guided Stoke to their first FA cup final 2011/12. 14 in PL, Plus played in Europa league 2012/13. 13th in PL 2013/14. Steered palace away from relegation zone and finished 11th in PL, winning the Premier League manager of the year award 2014/15 Finished 10th in his only full season at WBA Great record over the last 15 years buts let’s forget all that because he didn’t do well at Middlesbrough, who in actual fact finished 7th on 73 points, which is only 1 short of our total of 74 under CC in 2016/16 Id take him in a heartbeat, this club needs dragging back to the Premier League by any means necessary, and I couldn’t give a t0ss if it’s not pretty To be fair his first year he got them to 5th at Middlesbrough. Then he was made to sell captain Ben Gibson, Adama Traore and Bamford. Not a huge surprise losing 3 players of that ability they didn’t improve on 5th. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quist Posted September 1, 2019 Share Posted September 1, 2019 1 hour ago, mcmigo said: the Only difference between the cowleys and Pulis is their name and age. in style, one and the same. I saw Lincoln a couple of times live last season, including the top of the table clash with Mk dons. They are a well drilled, energetic outfit but are very direct . Very effective at that level , but no different to old Pulis style of launching it to a big man, having touchline wingers and a quick forward a la Fuller running on. Absolute tripe. They played Everton the other night on TV and lost 4-2 They had big centre forward but nothing like Pulis tactics. You have spouted this rubbish on here before, go and look at coaching videos on you tube and reports on styles. They vary their style depending on opposition they play. If style they play is so ineffective why have they had success against clubs from Premiership and Championship in cup competitions. Everton played full team against them and both teams played well. Do some research instead of putting up false information. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SallyCinnamon Posted September 1, 2019 Share Posted September 1, 2019 Pulis is on his way out managerially. Boro fans hated him and so do WBA fans. Plus the players we have at our disposal don’t suit his style of play whatsoever. Rowett openly wants the job and is a far better option. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But to be fair... both clubs haven’t exactly improved since Pulis left. Middlesbrough finishing 5th and 7th under him but this season look awful at the back and only managed 1 win. West Brom in his last full season in 16/17 he got them to 10th in the Premier league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some do. They do not play same style as him. They may have in few games but have far more different approach. Just look at highlights of Everton game. Your are completely wrong sying they are same as him. I do not like Pulis style because it is always same and he has now been worked out. They understand need to change for each opponent. There are very good videos where they explain tactics they have used in games. Numerous articles on subject. They are very good and would do well. I think they are heading to Huddersfield unless we get our finger out and bring them here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His "dire and unsuccessful" football took us from the bottom half of L1 to the top 4 in a year, with the team built that won automatic promotion. We haven't exactly been great to watch since 2016 when we've gone the opposite way from top 4 to a mid table team have we? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owls-Fan Posted September 1, 2019 Share Posted September 1, 2019 Going about things the wrong way if we hire Pulis. We should be hiring someone with a long term strategy to imprint their style and culture on the club. Like Norwich did with Farke and Hudds with Wagner. Maybe we tried it with Jos but we backed the wrong horse. When he drops our best players, plays a team with no forwards, and players like Bannan scream at the bench that they don’t know what they’re doing, it’s probably not the person to build a long term strategy with Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
