But an identify suggests a longer term and deeper commitment to a particular approach. An identity takes years to develop wheras a style can be adopted and changed very quickly. So what identity has Pulis created at his other clubs? (identity - not style) Owlstalk Shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe at Stoke where I think the Pulis way of doing things became very much part and parcel of how the club functioned. But even then they very much choose to go in a different direction when he left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I joined in, of course, because I wanted Monk out too. I think most of the group joined in as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's why I say it's something that the clubs (ideally) pulls together around. Anyway, I suspect Pulis wasn't being too philosophical when he said this so I'll leave it now! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No way would any player your interested in pick Huddersfield or Barnsley over Wensdeh because you’re paying premier league wages to league one players. Well thanks a bunch Dingle. I was only saying the other day how well Barnsley were playing and how we should admire the work the club has done to get into a good place. Now you post this and make me wish for bad things for Barnsley again! Very uncivilised! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keepitsteel89 Posted December 13, 2020 Share Posted December 13, 2020 We don't have time for identity right now.. if we got hold of a few gems in the window and started winning people would be talking about our new identity but stuff like that takes years with the right people in charge..pipe dream for us atm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack of Clubs Posted December 13, 2020 Share Posted December 13, 2020 In modern day football having an identity is very important. Players are simple creatures really and got them to have an identity to follow makes things much easier all round. To send a team out with a consistent message and continuity in training sounds a far cry from anything we’ve been used to for a while. I imagine players feeling more happy and comfortable with anything thrown at them when they are all pulling in the same direction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
