Praying he never manages this club
And me first thing I thought he's a dinosaur now , a lot of his ex clubs fans don't always think he was the best choice after his initial arrival .Quote:

West Brom are where they are because of him ffs.
He’s a complete dinosaur, games gone past him

He got Stoke promoted and kept them in the Premier League for 7 seasons,WBA were not in relegation zone when he was sacked, kept Palace up when they were relegation certainties. 10years in Premier League NEVER been relegated from any league. Better record than our Manager who although he has had 8 promotions, he’s also had 7 relegations!Quote:

Yes he kept palace up but then threw a hissy fit when Parish wouldn’t let him piss away massive money like he did at stoke. He takes clubs backwards, stoke were on the slide before they sacked him same with West Brom and now Boro. I’d rather watch us in the championship for the remainder of my life than see us in the prem under pulls (if he could even get us there, he failed with Boro). His football is unbelievably turgid, it’s bordering on criminal
He plays the same football as Warnock and Big Sam, it’s called Old school British football that’s why they’re a good fit if Warnock’s gone by Christmas!Quote:

At Palace: he played perhaps the most attractive football of any of his sides and kept them up with a squad which is far poorer in individual talent than subsequent managers have enjoyed without moving them on from what Pulis did in the short-term. However, it was a short stay at that club.
At West Brom: they were heading for relegation during his last few months there however how much could he have done when senior players entered the front pages for "playing GTA" in real life. Oh and one of the pundits said West Brom were playing like they did under Pulis this year when they reached the play-offs so they haven't been able to get success and better football than under Pulis despite being several years on.
I would argue that Boro has been his only failure out of any of these four clubs.
No, he makes Allardyce and Warnock look refined.Quote:

Not a lot. Pardew was manager at that point.Quote:

That Villa match was amazing, it's the type of football I know the side are capable of when Neil lets them loose, shame it didn't happen enough this season.Quote:

It was the same season though, wasn't it?Quote:

If you have a smaller or weaker squad then cups become a distraction but there is no excuse for not going for it otherwise - we know from personal experience how exciting the latter rounds are.
No he doesn'tQuote:
