Now is not the time to try an unknown or inexperienced manager. Pulis will provide a solid base for any future managers. But if he keeps us up,(perfectly possible now surely?) he will expect(and likely get) & much longer contract....Any negotiator worth his salt would want that clause in the contract...So likely not short term 'fix' at all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Delighted that Monk has gone, but massively underwhelmed by the prospect of baseball cap man taking over. In saying that, he will keep us up and he may even get us competing up the right end of the table. It's just we will be eye bleedingly bad to watch whilst doing so. This is a man who once played for a 1-0 loss in the second leg of a play off semi-final...when they were already 1-0 down. Long term, I don't see Pulis coming in and laying down any solid foundation. It all screams of a quick, short-term fix. Not many managers set foundations for the long term, no point as they don't get long enough to see anything through. As fans we don't generally look long term. It's all about the last result and next match. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony Pulis has managed in over 300 games at premier league level over a 10 year period, Got Stoke to an fa cup final and taken them into a European competition whilst also being nominated twice for manager of the season. What fckuwits we have, have some chuffing respect ffs. Here, here Be careful not to speak two much sense 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Signed a player for the longer term but sacked before he even plays. 2 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. People were unhappy with Monk because he kept losing. We're a plip-plop side and we need someone to keep us up.

Quist Posted November 11, 2020 Share Posted November 11, 2020 Positives re Toxic Tony 1, He will not be in job long. 2. Normally a split on here between those defending incumbent manager and those that want him sacked. After a month everyone will want him sacked. 3. Very few games will be moved as Sky not keen on his style of football. 4. Anyone not a fan of Bannan will be happy as he will not be playing. 5. Lots fans will have more disposable income as will not be buying merchandise or tickets 6. Wife will be happier as I will not be watching much football. Not a positive but for those who dislike Chansiri it will add fuel to fire and inevitably create a bigger rift between him and fan base. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brommers Posted November 11, 2020 Share Posted November 11, 2020 Pulis wouldn't be my choice but looking for positives: He's not Monk He's very experienced Should garner some respect from the players We should see an improvement in set pieces He'll stop us being so utterly dog poo when we win a throw in I won't have to watch him on Soccer Saturday anymore 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brommers Posted November 11, 2020 Share Posted November 11, 2020 **** me! I despair at sections of our fanbase, can't wait to slag and write our manager off before he's even appointed. Wouldn't be my choice but he's done enough in the game to warrant some respect and have our support assuming he gets the job. Just wait for those giving him grief to be out in force when he has some bad results saying how right they were. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TodwickOwl Posted November 11, 2020 Share Posted November 11, 2020 Will someone please tell me - why we keep saying ‘keep us up?’ Were not 12 points adrift. We’re 2. We’re on the lookout for a new manager to move us up the league with a new system and style of play - after getting rid of an absolutely dreadful manager. We aren’t in a relegation battle - we don’t need someone to ‘keep us up’. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
