If Pulis is to be appointed then I imagine it will be attritional football but I imagine he will play square pegs in square holes and based on his track record the results will be far more effective. He wouldn't be my first choice as I think we need someone who will play more attacking football and raise the spirits of the players and the fans as a result but his record of getting results speaks for itself. I mean yeah, sqaure pegs in square holes.... Apart from being well known for playing centre halves at full back 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What fckuwits we have, have some chuffing respect ffs. And yet despite that, Eddie Howe still isnt suitable for some Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ashley8 Posted November 11, 2020 Share Posted November 11, 2020 Tony should retire right now put his feet up and keep the fizz away from us. I think that would be a right positive 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CF_Owl Posted November 11, 2020 Share Posted November 11, 2020 If it’s a relatively short contract then he’ll be a good appointment. Only one target, keep us up! Now is not the time to try an unknown or inexperienced manager. Pulis will provide a solid base for any future managers. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sexpistol Posted November 11, 2020 Share Posted November 11, 2020 Positives? He will most likely keep us up. Supposed to be a good man manager. I think he is a footballing dinosaur tbh but if he gets the job I obviously hope he succeeds and does well for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WalthamOwl Posted November 11, 2020 Share Posted November 11, 2020 Positives - it’s not Monk. Negative - it’s Pulis. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
109Waddle Posted November 11, 2020 Share Posted November 11, 2020 I’d rather a different appointment, but If Pulis can get us organised and playing with a recognisable system that is effective, we concede less and score some goals, I’ll take that for this season. Ultimately, Chansiri is taking probably the least riskiest option of available managers to protect his investment from truly going down the pan should we be relegated. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If people were unhappy with Monk, then God help them with Pulis at the helm. Turgid, attritional, uninspiring football. People will need a neck brace watching on TV as the ball will very rarely be on the ground. If reports are true, this is a a most uninspiring, short sighted appointment in my opinion. He is not the person to unite the fanbase. I suspect DC is more bothered about not getting relegated than uniting the fan base and TBH I don’t blame him. the sense of entitlement on here would befit the House of Lords - there are lots of Peers there too! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ile just be happy for us to score some goals, unlikely with our strike force though, set pieces/corners more likely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They might have similar footballing philosophies but Monk isn’t in Pulis’ league as a manager. He’s an uninspiring appointment granted but he’ll get the job done. He might even make us competitive in this league again? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
