Tonight it looked extremely clear that not a single one of the three that Pulis has offered new contracts too look in any way interested in signing a new contract here. We have a big big problem on our hands - all created by Pulis And that's before you look at his tactics, strategy, style, and training during the week etc This problem is not created by Pulis. No way can the current situation be dropped in his lap after being here less than 6 weeks. No way 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Lord Snooty Posted December 15, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted December 15, 2020 Pulis has proved, so far, to be a poor appointment for what we needed this season. However to pin it all at his door is absolute folly. This club has been in slow free fall since the disbanding of the original transfer committee. We have been random in our actions from almost the get go. All of it. Every action we have made in the past 4 years has been random. There has been no plan. There have been no blueprints. This is the culmination in 4 years of innefective 'making it up as we go along' all the while a series of spivs, both on and off-field have taken us to the cleaners. And as usual.... as always in these situations at all the crackpot clubs....IT IS THE SUPPORTERS WHO PAY THE UTLIMATE PRICE. 7 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Bosch Posted December 15, 2020 Share Posted December 15, 2020 I’m really not sure how much input Pulis had onto the decision to offer new contracts . I might be wrong but it just didnt sound that way . Plus he doesn’t know any of the players yet and relies on what he’s been told by others , which is the strangest thing I’ve ever heard any experienced manager say Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SwellOwl Posted December 15, 2020 Share Posted December 15, 2020 The way it’s going we won’t pick up another point till we sign players in January. By then, could be well adrift (already 7 points) and which players would want to join? Same group who joined us previously. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted December 15, 2020 Share Posted December 15, 2020 12 minutes ago, @owlstalk said: It's even worse to publically tell the press he's only offered three people new contracts He's cheesing every player off then scratching his head why they're not playing well I'll tell you what is his fault though. Saying publicly that we haven't got a left-back at the club. What does that do for the confidence of Matt Penney? If I know that Liam Palmer's best displays in the last 2 years have come when he was played at left-back for prolonged spell then the new manager should also be aware of this too. Instead he chooses to play Van Aken in that position. A centre-back not known for his balance or speed of movement and thought. He realises this isn't working when he subs him off every game. Before duly repeating the same mistake in the next game, and the next ........ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
