SwellOwl Posted November 16, 2020 Share Posted November 16, 2020 It certainly seems that’s the squad/staff/club will get a shake up that it so badly needs. Hope it works, roll on Saturday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Down South Posted November 16, 2020 Share Posted November 16, 2020 Thought he spoke well enough, but buzz definitely not back yet for me. Just words as things stand, sounded competent but uninspiring. First big test is league position by end of year. Following on from that, let’s see what use is made of January transfer window. I’m hoping to have buzz back by then, but not banking on it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim Posted November 17, 2020 Share Posted November 17, 2020 Whoever was appointed you’d have someone pointing out a reason in their opinion why they were the wrong appointment. What makes me laugh is just about everyone agreed that Bruce was a good appointment (which he was) yet have reservations about Pulis who has a similar track record. If a lot of it is down to styles of play? It’s not as if Bruce has his teams playing champagne football? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mcmigo Posted November 17, 2020 Share Posted November 17, 2020 The best bit of his press conference was him admitting we don’t have the players to play the Pulis style. It is good he recognises this. We have no pace down the sides and no physical presence up front. He can play the way he did at Stoke , boro and wba but we will lose. He will need to adapt for the next 6 weeks , and then buy some players in January. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly. Talk is cheap. Lets see where we are after 20,30,40 games and see how excited people get after his press conferences then.

I really don't...... it's like you all don't know Tony Pulis and he's a manager from abroad nobody knows.... It's so weird. Really really weird. It's nice to see your all happy but..... This is like people historically saying "I can't wait to watch paid dry!" "I remember watching paint dry, was so exiting!" "He going to create a squad to fit paid drying! And that's AWSOME!" The best seems to be Pulis "Will make us great again!!!" I REALLY REALLY wish I felt the same but..... he's Tony Pulis.... and I've watched his team's play once a season against us usually at home and that was enough.... It's okay I know your all going to tell me he's the messiah and I've got it all wrong bt........ I didn't on Jos or Monk. I called it on Carlos had to go and that Bruce was the right choice but Newcastle ruined that.... I'd like to say I WILL be wrong now but it's Tony Pulis......... I think he should get in to PR because one press conference and he's given you all amnesia. Anyway we will see.......... Okay. I don’t think it would have taken a genius to work out Bruce would do well and Jos and Monk would Be poo! Tony pulis isn’t the kind of person to say stuff just to please you, it says it how it is, and so far so good. Back him and shut up whining.

N0rtherner Posted November 17, 2020 Share Posted November 17, 2020 I'm not feeling anything yet. New manager syndrome probably going to kick in with the players about to prove themselves and looking to get another chance if they were previously out in the cold. Will be waiting with my judgment on TP and the team until we've got some matches under our belt. For now, I wish TP welcome and wish him all the best and of course, as with any manager coming to Wednesday, want him to succeed in making us return to great shape again. But I can't shake this feeling, it's Pulis... but I'm trying to quell my own fears about that and hope he can deliver and prove me wrong! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Back him and shut up whining. To be fair, Monk wasn't about saying stuff to please you either, always delivering honest press conferences, but the problem with that was how bleak and poo it was delivered. And during a long run of poor form as was the case under his tenure, being repeatedly told honestly that things are poo, it just doesn't breed confidence either. I hope TP will bring a bit more passion into it, tell it how it is, but be more energetic and engaging. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He didn’t bull He was to the point I think a few things he said without saying them fully were 1. Weaver and Bullen will be going 2. Barry Bannan won’t be his long term captain 3. Kieran Westwood will be first choice 4. We are biggest than the team from S2 Welcome TP I’m quoting myself which is sad I know, but one thing I didn’t mention was it was nice to have a manager speak with personality, he was having a laugh with the journos and seemed genuinely relaxed and enthusiastic. when you think of the dull dross that came out of Monk and Jos it should be refreshing hearing what the manager has to say!

Back him and shut up whining. I enjoyed what Tony Pulis had to say yesterday but a lot of it was just to please supporters. He has been around the block a bit and knows how to play to the gallery by saying we are bigger than United. Also the part about Sheffield being a working class place was all public relations really. I have no doubt though that he wont stand any shirkers. One thing I dislike about our side since the play off final is the feeling some were going through the motions. Confident Pulis wont stand for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
