Wednesday sack TP after 45 days surely we won’t see him in another dugout anytime soon.
Perhaps we’ll see him in a dug out closer to home if some people get their way on Harris 😬
I hope notQuote:

Wednesday are a big club with good fans , I thought they had more brains than this
7 points from 10 games with half of those being defeats isn't a great start to anyone's managerial reign. It makes Monk's 13 points from 11 games look decent. It's obvious that there are big problems at Wednesday. Pulis certainly hasn't had the desired effect so far.Quote:

It's interesting that Wednesday have conceded less goals than us this season.
We have scored the small matter of 16 more goals though :hehe:Quote:

10 games? If he's the wrong guy for the job now he was the wrong guy six weeks ago. That's on the board. I wonder how much money they owe him.
An eventful time in the career of Calum Paterson. He's potentially on 4 managers in 3 months.
It's clear their board were expecting immediate results. Sacking Monk now seems like a mistake, given that Pulis has been even less successful with the group of players.Quote:

you don't play pretty football when you are in a relegation fightQuote:

In fairness you wouldn't have us playing pretty football in a promotion fight.Quote:

Monk was sacked after a record of won one, drawn one, lost four from his last six games and Pulis the same. Both had picked up four points from their last two games though.
Pulis played four of the top seven in his ten game run and lost only once. Two of his other games were against sides currently in the top half (tenth and eleventh) added one more draw and one more defeat. He lost three of the four games against sides currently in bottom half though.
Wednesday are in trouble but still within touching distance of safety. Don't think we'll see Pulis at this level again and really is a sad end, if that's what it proves to be, to a fantastic career.
You might be right, though if that happened I would be more inclined to think it was because clubs didn't want to revert to Pulisball.Quote:

FFS, take it that means his DULCET TONES will be back on Sky :facepalm:
Football management must be one of the best professions to be involved in.
Decent money and it doesn’t matter if you are successful or a failure. You just move on to the next sucker club.
I am sure the fans do have more sense.Quote:

And probably collect he remaining balance on your contract when you go ?Quote:

Eh?Quote:
