I remember somebody suggesting Dean Saunders at one stage. And it wasn't villakicks or whatever he's called these days.

As we have another shame thread, who thought we should have appointed Pulis?I'm embarrassed to say I did but then we did look doomed at the time. That man could probably get a new job every jan/February if he wanted.In my defence I thought he'd be good as a temporary appointment.
never in my lowest times have I ever wanted Pulis or Alardycethey represent the total opposite to everything I want to see from a football team I support
I wanted him to come in and save us from relegation. It had become more of a case of anyone but Lambert towards the end. More interesting would be who was disappointed in the hiring of Sherwood?

But would you have preferred relegation? I saw it as a lesser evil - club stays up, gets sold, Pulis eventually walks/pushed and we get somebody more suitable.I was wrong, however, as sherwood is looking far better.Sherwood looked like a huge gamble at the time, well to me anyway.
Ah well, I applaud the decision made, better job than I would have done.
We have 12 points from 10 games since Sherwood took charge, which isn't amazing by any stretch of the imagination. Think the 3 wins in the cup have glossed up the indifferent league form since he took over - we are after all still only 2 points above the relegation zone.I'm not saying he's been a bad appointment, but I'd rather wait until we are mathematically safe before getting excited for the future which I have no doubt would be better than if Pulis was here - as long as we are in the premier league next year.
