PULIS STAYS Tony Pulis set tongues wagging that he was going to walk out on Sheffield Wednesday - but that would cost him a fortune. Even the players thought Pulis was going. However, sources close to Pulis reveal it is not possible because of the terms of his contract and that he will not leave in that way. Blimey, imagine how disappointed those players must have felt when they found out he was staying 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swfc1983 Posted December 27, 2020 Share Posted December 27, 2020 Not quite sure why Pulis doesn’t just walk if he thinks we are a lost cause? If this was after January and Chansiri has broken promises on money then I could understand but he knew what a poo state we were in when he took the job so that shouldn’t be an issue if he’d done his research on us? So basically this reads we’ve got a squad who aren’t getting paid and aren’t up to it quality wise and a manager who can’t get them up to the task and doesn’t want to be here.....brilliant. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Grandad Posted December 27, 2020 Share Posted December 27, 2020 Was only a couple of weeks ago the same people were rubbishing Nixon's reports that the players hadn't been paid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parajack Posted December 27, 2020 Share Posted December 27, 2020 (edited) I suspect there is worse to come.....TP might,just might be able to make us the 4th worse Club in the Division.....this season(realistically our only hope) IF even he feels that the alleged 'issues' at the Club are unsolvable,than presumably it would be Bullen again to season end....(if TP left) I personally feel that our Club will see BB,Lee's & Reach leave at season end(ime not bothered if they do) irrespective of if we stay in the Championship. Hopefully WW & JR will go too.......(& take VA & Odubajo with them).People will argue & disagree I know,but they represent a core of players who have been at this Club too long & achieved nothing. We need a new 'project' with fresh faces with something to play for,& an impact to make. We also in my view need a fresh start with a new Chairman, & rid of the current 'advisors'... Ime not even sure we will survive as a Club,let alone achieve this.... Edited December 27, 2020 by parajack 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wilder had to deal with players not getting paid at both United, and Northampton. At Northampton they weren’t paid properly for months in the season Wilder won the title. If the job is too much for Pulis, either quit now, or wait until he’s fired 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cowl Posted December 27, 2020 Share Posted December 27, 2020 I don't doubt there's a thread of truth to this, but like much of what Nixon writes it's hard to understand clearly what he's actually saying. Of course, the vagueness is entirely intentional, but it's hardly surprising that so many feel his hit-rate is quite low. He clearly does come by information though, and irrespective of what is said, if players and staff are only being partially paid I doubt there are many of them that wouldn't be thinking hard about what their options are right now; and since Pulis has hardly been here long the option to reverse himself out of the situation must be quite tempting. Still, the real message here can only be understood from considering why Pulis let this little nugget slip to the press in the first place, because it obviously came from him (or via his agent or whomever). No doubt it's DC who he's trying to communicate to, and it's probably about trying to force his hand with transfer monies (as well as player wages etc.). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah he blocked me when he got something wrong and I called him out. I created a new account for work so followed him again because his content was interesting. You always follow the haters!
