I don't see how having Pulis would help us. Garde has been shit on and just looks shell-shocked at the moment.

On a tangent, it made me laugh when Pep Guardiola said he was going to Man City as a challenge. He doesn't know the meaning of the word. If he wants a challenge he knows where to come.

We don't have a style of play anyway, pointless football that produces pointless results.

We could do worse, but we could also do better.

I'd rather not touch him with a bargepole. Whatever manager we have had though would have to deal with the bunglecunts above him though, so...

What would be the point? He might keep us up the one season but then we'd all be moaning at his terrible football by the October of the next season (and rightly so).

And he could at least say he was coming to a team who have won the European Cup!

Only if the alternative was Billy Davies or Nigel Pearson.

This. Although even then it might be a worryingly close call.

If this morphs into a potential new manager thread, I'll say no to Pulis, Hoddle, Allardyce, Pearson and Di Mario.

Albion play awful football. They played Peterborough and it was like West Brom were the lower league side, desperately trying to scrape through with horrible, anti-football tactics. Stoke are way better off without him. Depending on who Baggies appoint when he leaves, they may be too.

You should talk to two of my 6th Formers who have season tickets down WBA. They generally look more depressed than I do (though not today after the last couple of games). Obviously they're taking the mickey because we're going down, but they really hate Pulis and are always complaining how mind-numbingly dull it is. After the game against us, they were almost inconsolable with how depressed they were.

(I'm on my 10 minute lunch break!)

As for my thoughts, no, would never want Pulis. Or Allardyce. Or anyone of that ilk.

Pulis? Absolutely no fucking way! The man's "style" of football is an abomination; I'd rather be entertained in the third division, than bored shitless by a team of his cloggers in the first!

Aston Villa needs to find somewhere quiet to reset and stabilise - hopefully, with a different owner and staff. Pulis' turgid horse-shit would have either no effect or even make things worse.

Don't think either would come to us anyway. Villa is a total basket case. Why not have an angry Scot or a nutcase though? Would add to the soap opera.
