Popular Post SolihullOwl79 Posted December 31, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted December 31, 2020 Between the lines it seems Pulis wanted his targets bringing in , while Chansiri advisors alerted him to fact they were defensive minded targets, and an older generation of player going against what Chansiri had openly stated when he took over that he wanted to see attractive attacking football, and his more recent statement of wanting a younger squad. This (style of play) was the reason he gave when appointing CC as opposed to Gray at the time he first came in as owner. He's made a balls up appointing TP in the first place in that respect, however he has at least acted swiftly in trying to rectify the mistake. 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ll only give him credit for that if and when he makes a decent job of appointing the next manager. Must say though, his track record doesn’t inspire confidence. He’s looking for someone prepared for a relegation battle, working with a small pool of fit players, not sure if they’ll be paid on time and without much cash to spend in the transfer market. Oh well, good job the applications are pouring in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh well, good job the applications are pouring in. From what he said, there has been much interest for the job. I just hope and pray that Chansiri takes the time and gets the right personnel in. Forget the advisor who recommended Pulis would be a good start. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The advisor who recommended Pulis will be completing the short list, so dont hold your breath. The same advisor who brought all previous managers to Chansiri and several players. He, who holds no formal role, but effectively runs club, decides what information Chansiri sees but with zero accountability or scrutiny. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think TP suggested he could play multiple formations depending on the opponent...which turned out to be BS. He said he had reservations on TP initially due to his style of play, but that his record and experience changed his mind 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So he wasn't the only one who got it wrong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prowl Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 Anyone with any knowledge of British football knows what you get with Pulis. He plays defensive football with counter attacking. How any advisors don't know that astounds and shocks me. I could understand the appointment of Pulis, it was sensible if you accept we have no attacting threat. Make us hard to beat, get the ball forward quickly and hope to nick a goal then hold on. I don't like it but needs must.... Now it seems from DC's comments that he employed Pulis and expected him to provide attractive attacking football and go for the play offs. Just think about that for a minute, ok have another minute because it takes some understanding. I don't know if DC or his advisors came up with that but I can guarantee every fan in English football would have burst out laughing at the idea. I was angry at the sacking of Pulis, not because I thought he was a great manager but because it shows we have totally lost the plot. If you want attacking football Pulis is the last person you should employ. Who next Megson? To play attractive attacking football? Are the play offs still on? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest timrud Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 You really have to give Chansiri credit for acting quickly on this He's show he has made mistakes in the past, but is evidencing he is learning. Refreshing to hear him (again) today admit he is responsible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apart from blaming Pulis, then having a massive dig at the supporters (sorry 'bad' customers) then the EFL, then covid, yep it was a very contrite performance.

Anyone who knows the game over here would also know his track record. And this is the problem, DC doesn't know the game.
