Pulis is more than likely a short term issue, supporting Wednesday is a lifetime commitment. This will pass like Jos passed and Monk passed, the club is still here.

royalowlisback Posted November 12, 2020 Share Posted November 12, 2020 It is just a story, doesn't mean it's true. Nobody other than Chansiri and whoever gets the job will know the length of the contract, he never reveals how long they are for, and they usually leave after a year anyway. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest FoxOwl12 Posted November 12, 2020 Share Posted November 12, 2020 Some on here are saying he gets results. He Does. Bad ones. His win rate is 1 in 3 for gods sake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arguably very probable with his record. Have you been a Wednesday fan for long? Usually, optimism is dispensed with after a few seasons of watching them. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Least popular on Owlstalk and Twitter which makes up a small minority of all our fans and those who go to games. A couple of wins and the vast majority will be delighted and behind TP - of that I’m certain. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dizzys Dad Posted November 12, 2020 Share Posted November 12, 2020 Pulis is at the top end of a list of extremely poor potential managers. He knows what’s needed in this division.There aren’t many on that list who do. We don’t need entertaining football, we need points. Out of the contenders, he’s the most likely to succeed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leads to a huge amount of goals from CBs and keepers who can't pass. I don't mind a direct style if we have the players to do it, and we actually get players forward to feed off the target man. Still unconvinced we will do that, because Pulis main concern is always keeping enough men behind the ball. Just hoping the style will resemble Megson's time here. If so he could be a success. Talking of Meggo, he was his no2 at Baggies so why not now? Meggo has unfinished business here, does he think it would be too much focus on him if he came in as no2? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigsheff Posted November 12, 2020 Share Posted November 12, 2020 To be fair to Tony Pulis he generally always comes across well in interviews etc, it’s just his brand of football that’s frowned upon. Yes it’s a bit uninspired but If he can sort the club out & get rid of the fragile mentality we have at least it’s a start. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd say our home performances have been flaccid with no penetration.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
