I'll go on record and say I'm sorry for calling MadKev a troll.

There were much better words I could have used.

I have a real issue with TP and the "I've never been relegated" nonsense. Since when has that become an achievement? It's a celebration of being slightly less shit that 3 other teams each year.


Hasn't Paul Lambore never been relegated either?

I'd rather have Stuart Pearce over the pearson/pulis alternative.

I wouldn't.

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.

Maaaad Kevvvv.

He needs TP for his bunghole.

Nobody would have saved us. The last of our premier league players departed last summer and none have arrived since.

In response to the original post, not a fucking chance would I take Pulis.

Nope, wouldn't want him. But it doesn't matter. He is way above our level now anyway.

Our next manager shopping will be at a significantly lower level than we are used to. You can forget Premier League managers or decent foreign ones looking to manage in the top English league. We will be trolling the same "proven at this level" shite that other big Championship clubs in decline will be after. Thats the sad truth.

If we hire Pulis or Allardyce or even Bruce next summer and give them a decent chunk of change for transfers, we will be heavy favourites to win the second division next term.

Look at West Ham now, maybe getting a stable base in place is just what we need with an experienced hand in charge. That lot will be happy with that type of gig anyway.

Sure the football will be shit on a stick but watching our current crop of lightweight gutless wonders taking the piss out of our club is only entertaining in a car crash way.

Pulis on a two year contract. One year to get us back up. One year to teach us how to fight in the Premiership. No more than that though as we will start moaning about the quality of the football. Yes, I am sad to say, the nasty horrible fucker is what we need with this current bunch of players. However, I'd prefer Moyes.

Absolutely right. None of the last four managers in fact have had, except for Lambert occasionally, any sort of plan to deal with the opposition. Pulis makes sure every single player knows exactly what his role is and sticks to it. I wouldn't want to watch it for ten years but for a couple of seasons to get us back on track, why not?

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?
