Cant imagine too many other fans of his other clubs would be saying the same. They aren't. We have been warned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s the best football we’ve played in years and the most success we’ve had in years. If your complaining about that then you’ve no hope. Hopefully you’ll enjoy Pulisball a little more than the exciting attacking football Stupid Carlos played. Exciting football .........But bottle the big occasions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought by going on to mention the fan base in general it would give an indication I wasn't just speaking about this platform. Every single time??? I've posted once about the language used?

That budget was given to him by DC I don't know how you think football transfers work - if you're unhappy with the money spent, DC is the man who did it and he's still here. What this has to do with Pulis, I don't know and I was joking about Pulis being thrifty, he personally made Steve Gibson spend 7 millions of his hard earned on Aden Flint - Pulis said he should be on 45k too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've posted once about the language used? Fair enough - please be more specific in future as it read as though you were saying something was in this thread that wasn't When I say 'every single time' I mean we regularly get people saying there's relentless abuse on the site of the chairman, manager etc but when you ask them where they can't ever point to a single instance I wasn't referring to yourself on that one mate - just 'people' in general who try and convince others that this forum has abuse of the chairman or manager on it when it absolutely does not (as proven by their complete inability to show anyone ever where any is) Sorry If I came over as oversensitive on this one - wasn't my intention ps I most definitely would call someone a drama queen to their face Owlstalk Shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Managers give a list of players to the recruitment team, the recruitment team go off and try and make it happen. The managers job is done once he's given the list. The team might come back and say none of these are available, but we can get so & so Maybe go and watch Sunderland till I die or the Spurs documentary on Amazon, it'll give you an idea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In this case though it feels like regardless of any potential performance or success moist are not going to change their opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
