Pulis leaving stoke, what's the bet old tax dodger turns up there ?

Long drive every day from Sandbanks. Speaking of Pulis though, Ladbrokes are offering 1,000/1 on him succeeding Jose at Real Madrid.

If I was to have a serious guess  .... Allardyce...he doesn't appear to like the porn barons (mutual) and the style of football and Staffordshire would suit?

I wont be too worried look how much they have spent on Crouch, he hasn't had that good of a season. How much do we spend on players and look how well they do.

Even if they do decide to play a more attractive brand of football, they still have some very good footballers to pull that off. Granted it will need one or two additions to get rid of Pulis' grafters but I don't think it's as big as job as some may predict. The problem will be if you're going to change the ethos is proving to be more successful than Pulis who over the time at Stoke, did a very good job playing efficient football which wasn't always attractive on the eye.

Might be funny to watch the likes of Shotton, Huth, Shawcross and Wilkinson playing from the back  ;D

For every Mourinho there is a Dean Saunders too, remember that! Threat from Villa, why? Take Benteke out of that squad and its championship material, one person alone kept them up

Without Bentekes goals they would have gone down. Villa are another club who have spend big money, Sidwell, Davies etc and they didn't really improve them. Sunderland are another club who have the done the same and haven't progressed.

This could be a very tough season for Stoke whoever they bring in will be expected to at least to try to get them playing football. Although the Pulis way is pretty deeply ingrained and getting the likes of Huth and Shawcross playing football will be like teaching elephants to dance.

I suppose one solution would be to go for Pulis light step forward agent McCarthy and his trusty side kick Terry "clipboard" Connor you've done it once you can do it again.    ;D

Can't argue with the job he's done to actually keep them in the Premier League despite the horrific looking brand of football played, however he's spent a hell of a lot of money on big name players and not always wisely. Their fans would have expected their style of play to change for the better after so many years in the league and so much money spent on the squad but it just hasn't happened.

Will be interesting to see who they have as a new boss and what changes they are going to make as their current squad isn't really good enough to suddenly start playing a slick passing game.

10 million on Crouch and massive wages
8 million on Palacios
8 millon on Jones

For a club of Stokes size that's a lot of money and you could say that none of those three have been regularly consistent.

It is interesting to note that Pulis was the 3rd highest NET spender in the premier league (Villa are 4th).

I'm not so sure; they have a lot of players that play a certain way. If a manager comes in and tries to play football it go horribly and hilariously wrong

I may be wrong, but over the past 3 seasons or so he's spent the highest out of the top 3 or something (Man Utd, Man City, Chelsea) so his sacking is justified in my view.

It reminds me a bit of when O'Neill left Villa. At the time he was highly regarded but they'd spent huge money in comparison, which has happened up at Stoke.
