Under Pulis we would be comfortable in mid table premier league.
I think we were only about 4 points adrift when we fired sherwood. Pulis, Allardyce, Moyes or Bruce I think any of those would have saved us. I think even Sherwood would have done better than Garde. What we needed at the time was a strong personality to crack heads together and organise the team. Instead we got an introvert with no managerial experience in England.
I've always had a lot of respect for Pulis I remember him turning up at half time at Stoke on the day his father died, a moment which was a total game changer.
Obviously he's damaged his reputation by his actions at Crystal Palace, but no one can deny what he did with the team.
You have to earn the right to play football. Until you have earned this right it's get stuck inm get it wide and get it in the mixer.
