Had he been backed in January I’m sure we would have stayed up. It wouldn’t have been pretty but we would have. He clearly didn’t see eye to eye with the chairmen and seems being under an embargo didn’t help. I think the reputation he gets is harsh, his football isn’t pretty but the bloke knows what he’s doing. I also think we was just starting to see the good signs before he left. We had played well away Swansea, Norwich & Blackburn while also having some spirited performances at home against Coventry & Reading. I always say you can dislike how he plays the game but you can’t call him a bad manager. It was awful to watch, we were so defensive. And he wasn’t using Rhodes and we had no other striker. That said I think survival was there for the taking.. we had 28 points from 28 games even after the deduction, then Shaw cost us the Birmingham game and from then on we never recovered despite other teams trying to get themselves relegated. If Pulis had stayed we’d have got more than 42 points I think and might have stayed up. But it’s all a bit irrelevant because I don’t think Chansiri sacked him because of 10 games of poor results. It’s more that Pulis got here, realised we were a basket case and that he didn’t want to do it.. and then angled to be sacked to ensure he got paid up rather than having to resign. He basically made his own position untenable and having him in charge all season wasn’t an option Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And there was still half a season to play after his sacking. Still got relegated. Neil Thompson - never managed a Championship club in his life, not managed a senior team at any level for goodness knows how long, was like a breath of fresh air after Pulis. He didn't want to be here and nobody wanted him to be here at that stage. Can't see a queue of clubs lining up to take him on before or since that shocking stint with us. His time has gone.

But fecking hell - give him 6 months and we would be able to see games out and we wouldn’t have been a soft touch. He would have sorted out this weak mentality, not a problem. He may well have taken us down but he’s the type of character who wouldn’t have let this poo continue. Moore should get the time to try and sort it out. But Pulis would have sorted it quicker.

Jim Posted October 23, 2021 Share Posted October 23, 2021 Having decided to appoint Pulis, he should have been backed in the January Window. The Chairman IMO didn’t want or was unable to shell out the coin that would’ve been required and that call amongst a variety of decisions/reasons cost us our championship status?

matthefish2002 Posted October 23, 2021 Share Posted October 23, 2021 Pulis would have been a cracking manager for Wednesday 15 years ago but his time has come and gone. I don't think players in 2021 would have accepted his man management methods. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

katie melua Posted October 23, 2021 Share Posted October 23, 2021 Hiring him in the first place was the biggest "mistake" we've made. You're in a relegation battle and you go and get shot shy Tony in charge who plays for 0-1s. We would have been better off getting Alan Irvine or Stuart Gray back. Shouldn't have got rid of Garry Monk if we're going to go down this route. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
