Pulis for manager of the season again ?

We would prolly have to finish top 5 for that

Pulis for manager of the season again ?

Why were is he going?

Pulis for manager of the season again ?

That would be brilliant.  And then hopefully see through a whole season afterwards !

The beauty of Pulis is that he will never be offer a top job. Purely due to his reputation. However, his football has evolved since his Stoke side bullied it's way to promotion behind West Brazil. Don't get me wrong I'd have loved a ten year Mowbray dynasty but we didn't have the pull to keep him. Pulis can have a long tenure with us if he can get on with Peace.

I'd love pulis to take us over, his football is never the most exciting to watch but it gets results and winning football is not boring football

[very old baggie]

It has to be Pulis, does,nt it?

[Mikkyk]

Is Rob Kelly still there? I think I read that on the BBC article, just imagine "Kelly new Albion boss"

'It has to be Pulis..... Does,nt it?

Senior moment?? 

But yes. Anything else would be very odd.

[Signor_Maresca]

Indeed, one of the least sources I'd trust. I badly want Pulis though. How about you mate, who would you like to see get the gig?

I’d like us to actually go out and pay some compensation if we have to.  McLaren? Offer him his own staff and a decent budget and maybe he would be tempted.  Warburton at Brentford, plays good football and we tried to get him as Director of Football, but maybe a gamble too far.  And if we are willing to give Pulis full autonomy, why not see if we can tempt Howe.  Think I’d actually prefer Sherwood to Pulis but that isn’t saying much.  One thing is for sure Jeremy can’t afford to cock this one up.

no chance - that would involve stability

and we wonder why so many players seem to be 'above' any manager - if you had stayed around in your job while so many of your managers had been shown the door i think you too woul feel a little 'untouchable'.

i fear another bit of short termism a a result of a missed opportunity in the summer, when we had more time on our hands

[ashdoy]

My source (and they are much better than Sky) ...

"Expecting Downing & Kelly to also go". Take my word, this source is reliable.

[Groovephil]

Sherwood would be a shocking idea, he was a joke at spurs. all flash and no idea. Why do you think no one else has gone for him?

It better be Pulis, everything else scares me.

The club needs a tactical manager, the last 3 have been all over the place with no ability to change a game once it begins.

but he wouldn't play your darling, would he? Because he as nothing to offer anymore and he would be gone with the rest of the deadwood.

does Pulis?

[kris_boing]

I think losing the stripes and appointing Pulis in one season would probably push me over the edge.

[Groovephil]

does Pulis?

Just see his record against us in the prem. He knows how to play the low teams.

Tony Pulis? Do you remember when we used to mock him as manager of Stoke? All of a sudden he is the saviour?

It would be a short-termist appointment, one that's only purpose would be to get ourselves out of this self inflicted mess. He would not play any progressive football, he would not be happy with the system we have at the club in the long term and he would walk out at some stage after falling out with Jeremy Peace and his cluelessness.

Tony Pulis, Tim Sherwood. Who comes up with these lists? What happened to the Albion?

As can you Sir

I'm certain Brunt will play under any manager we appoint. On this issue it's you that is wrong. Anyway, nothing will bring me down tonight.

I'm glad it's not just me thinking this!

[caravanc58]

would prefer pulis over Sherwood, we need some stability with a long term appointment, just feel with Sherwood its going to be like waiting for the bomb to explode.

[TheJacko2000]

I'm glad it's not just me thinking this!

Who would you go for mate? Maybe time for a poll?

Can't see us tempting McLaren or Howe (for different reasons) and as you say Warburton would be too risky. He has already taken his risk this season I feel.

just don't put dave jones on it.
