Boro should have been challenging for the autos in that second season and he didn't even make the playoffs. Their squad was far, far superior to what we have now.

torryowl Posted November 13, 2020 Share Posted November 13, 2020 Just now, @owlstalk said: True But lets' also look at some of his quirks He kept Stoke City up but how did he do it? He also paid £10million for a 30 year old Peter Crouch When he got sacked he'd won only four out of 23 league matches He spent 80 million pounds in 5 years - only Chelsea and Manchester City spent more - let that sink in He also signed a 32/33 year old Michael Owen who everyone knew was finished at the time so he took a club from the depths of the second tier kept them in the prem for 6 years on 80 million quid ....what did stoke receive in the years he kept them there 400, 500, 600, million ?

Costello 77 Posted November 13, 2020 Share Posted November 13, 2020 Launch the ball and get everybody running towards their goal. If they're any good foul them. What's not to like? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was about a dozen games under Carlos where we had runners everywhere going forward usually with Hooper leading the charge. It was thrilling and ruinously expensive. It's not going to be repeated anytime soon Ricky.. I also have mates who are Boro fans. They told me Reach was OK but not a world beater. They told me Rhodes was shot. They told me Monk was poor. And they told me Tony Pulis plays the most boring football they’ve ever seen - and they’ve watched Karanka’s teams - and watching Boro under him, win, lose or draw was draining. And this was before he was anywhere near the Wednesday job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

borisTHEowl Posted November 13, 2020 Share Posted November 13, 2020 If Pulis did what he did at say boro and got us to playoffs,or like stoke and established us in prem,got us to a cup final and played European football again,would people still resent him as had been shown allready? Doesnt he even deserve a chance? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
@owlstalk Posted November 13, 2020 Author Share Posted November 13, 2020 I think it’s time for the confused amongst us to understand that people are giving him a chance but have opinions Relax Ffs 1 Owlstalk Shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
