And the club just wanted Pulis's style of football gone from it. So Mr C and his band of merry advisors didn't know Pulis played dour, boring, non entertaining football? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll add Monk and Pulis and Bruce to that too as reasons why going foreign isn't a bad idea Carlos with an excellent squad built by a recruitment committee who knew what they were doing.

The Majority of the fans wanted Stuart Gray to be given the opportunity to show what he could do. He’d worked miracles on a shoestring the season before. Any new manager is under immediate pressure if the fans didn’t want the old manager to leave. I can only speak for myself but, I didn’t have us anywhere near the play offs that first season. We’d signed decent players who were an improvement in what we’d already got but, I don’t personally think many expected the play offs. Getting to the playoffs was probably not planned for and it's a pity that Carlos didn't have his reign in reverse getting better each season instead of the slow decline we saw. Once the playoff became a distinct possibility then the club had to go for it, but more than likely it upset the mid term planning. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe, but let’s not forget, 50% of the season one team was there under Gray, and he never looked like reaching the play offs. We also finished in play offs in season two. His brief, however unrealistic, was promotion in 2 years, and foolishly, all our signings were geared towards that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know he did it on a shoestring but it was painful. Was disappointed that he left thought they would have made a good team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChinaOwl Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 Serious question because I haven't followed what's in the "Boris" deal. If we appoint a European coach or one from the Republic of Ireland, will they need to apply for a work permit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could do one for the last 3 games and also one of your special 1-match form tables, I believe our current manager has a 100% record! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
