He's gone, its just a matter of its this week, the Spurs game, or the Newcastle game. It's abundantly clear the players have absolutely zero interest in playing for him anymore. The organisation and defefensive shape of the team is no longer there which is the most obvious sign. For all his faults Pulis does make teams strong defensively and good on set pieces, those no longer being the case is a clear case the players aren't playing for him anymore. When that's the cast we'll just keep losing, we've seen it under Irvine, Mel, Clarke, RDM.... It's often obvious when a managers finished at a club - its obvious here too.

I suspect his downfall is for two particularly reasons:

1) His treatment of the players of the past few seasons, many bombed out the first team and not given chances despite our form, bound to create resentment.

2) The (admittedly) higher quality on paper at least players he'd bought in just aren't interested in playing Pulis-ball.

My mate said earlier he think there are two option if we lost 1) go right away 2) basically caretaker for spurs then bring someone straight in

Agree with this , said for a while his treatment of the likes of Yacob and Brunt has been poor for two.

If Williams don't sack him he needs to go too.

What's that now, 2 wins in 21 games is it?.... and there are still some deluded individuals that believe he should be given more time..... Ridiculous.

It’s just a waiting game until someone half decent is available now. Everyone was so flat today. Unless something big changes I think we’re in trouble this year. I know people (me included) think we have a stronger squad this year but they don’t seem to have the commitment of prior seasons? I hope this is down to them being fed up with Pulis and Megson.

Looking at Williams and Lai now to see if they pass their first proper test?

I worry that we will do the right thing in kicking out Pulis, but I fear we will play ultra safe with the next appointment and employ an ex England manager (Seeing I can't name names, but he managed West Ham too)

Seems like it is now down to 3 or 4 at most on this site. How anyone with the results since March can defend this manager is beyond me.

He's not hanging around after the game today he's getting straight off (has friends down from Bristol apparently), Williams has been in the dressing room after the game but pulis says its nothing to do with anyone what was said..... days are numbered its only a matter of time.

The reaction at the ground after the game today was more apathetic than hostile, which might conceivably make the Board continue to dither when they should be decisive, but surely it really ought to be all over bar the shouting now? Everywhere you look there's no spirit and no hope, so an injection of new ideas and energy is now needed to help breathe some pride and enthusiasm back into the fans.

You would hope that this is blatantly obvious to Messrs Lai and Williams, but I remain to be convinced that it is. The optimal time to make a change has gone, but to have a new manager in the stands for the Spurs game who's then in charge for the 3 more crucial games after that, along with him having a month to evaluate the squad ahead of the transfer window opening, has to be the best approach now.
