Who'd take Pulis now?
« on: March 02, 2016, 10:07:53 AM »
We, myself included were all laughing at our neighbours when they got TP. But, who honestly, would take him now?

I would, in a heartbeat, They played some good stuff at our place at the start of the season, looked great on Sky against Palace and last night they really gave Leicester a good go.

I think that when he has the right players, he could do a terrific job anywhere.

I like Garde but his record is horse & it's not like he's only had a few games to save us.

Not I sir.

Who would he continually compare our stats with - Blose? Dingles?

We took a point off Leicester too remember. WBA are dreadful to watch, full of horrible horrible players and barely register a shot on goal. Alex Ferguson wouldn't have been able to save this sack of shit we've got for a team.

Only if the alternative was Billy Davies or Nigel Pearson.

No. I never want to see that man as our manager. He's worse than TSM.

We need to appoint a visionary, someone akin to SGT mk I. Problem is I don't know who that person is or if they would want to come to AVFC, even for the "challenge" of rebuilding the club.

I seem to remember lots of Albion fans moaning about him and praying he'd leave at the end of the season as recently as a couple of weeks back, so I'm guessing all is not well there with his management and playing style. Plus looking at the lack of full houses they get under him in a tiny stadium it can't be very entertaining, I'll pass on Pulis.

As depressing as things are, Pulis is probably the only man I would never want to see managing our club.

Not me either. Whilst we are in an awful state at the moment, the thin hope that I'm clinging to is that when we do hit our low point, the way back begins through defiance and guts and a Villa identity I can relate to. That will include ugly football at times but not the mind numbing sterility of most of Pulis' strategy.

Never in a million years. Him being our manager is one of the very few things that could make me stop going to games. I hate his anti-football. And his baseball cap. And his accent.

Never.

What's the point? Horrible turgid anti-football.

As embarrassed as I feel about the way Villa are playing at the moment, it would fade into insignificance if I had to watch us play under Pulis

Same here - him or Pearson would have me seriously considering my plans for weekends in the future

Pulis is exactly what we needed. A sgt major type to crack the whip and bark at them all day long in training. Instead we appoint a thoughtful introvert.
 It amazes me how snobbish fans can be regarding managers and their perceived style of play. If you have decent players then you can knock it around. When you have really poor players the only real way to play is the Pulis way. At least he has a plan he sticks to.
Whats gardes plan? 5 at the back last night wasn't it?
