@owlstalk Posted November 12, 2020 Author Share Posted November 12, 2020 12 minutes ago, areNOTwhatTHEYseem said: It's interesting that they're drawing a parallel between Pulis and Wilkinson. Wilkinson's spell at Hillsborough was a little before my time, but he seems very highly thought of despite an apparently dour style of play? It was my first manager really - I was too young for Jack Charlton days As a nipper Gary Shelton, Imre Varadi etc - all my heroes As a youngster you don't have expectations or analyse the games, you just see the green of the pitch, the blue and white stripes and the goals and crunching tackles When you get older it changes and we start to argue and over analyse The worst bit for me about it is that other fans will come along and trample all over your heroes and try to get you convinced your heroes weren't that great SOD OFF I say - my heroes will never diminish and will always ALWAYS be my heroes *disclaimer if any of you worship Carlos or Trevor Francis - all of the above does not apply to those two* Owlstalk Shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He might keep us up? Who knows. I wasn't arsed if we got relegated anyway. Edited November 12, 2020 by Maddogbob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What are you basing this on? Excellent job at Stoke establishing them as one of the most feared teams in the Prem. Whether you liked the style or not, no one liked going to Stoke under Pulis. Crystal Palace - won manager of the year and kept them up. West Brom, really don't know much about his spell there. Win ratio isn't great, but Pulis left and they went down. Boro, play offs and then just missed out on the play offs. Fans hounded him out. Replaced him with Woodgate who dragged them into the relegation zones, only to go and replace him with another dinosaur in Warnock. Perhaps Pulis knew what he was doing? Look, it's not an exciting appointment but I question what fans really expect. The one thing that is positive about Pulis is his record. Never been relegated, very good win ratio at this level, will not let us be a soft touch which is most important for me. The amount of soft and sloppy goals and lapses in concentration we've had over the past few seasons is pathetic. I imagine Pulis will put a stop to this. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And its not hysterical, I just have a nasty feeling on this. I'm sick to death of the deranged short term thinking.

He's past it, an utter joke and his brand or style, belongs in the past. And it'll cost a chuffing fortune to get rid of him. So you would rather the club get liquidated? You can not like Pulis potentially getting the job, but saying you mean this is just nonsense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
