I’ll always say Pulis did a job for us when needed but unfortunately stayed a few months too long.

Far far from anywhere near one of our worse managers.

Always thought the same leeiswba 👍🏻

Should have parted company with him at the end of 16/17 season. The rot set in when we sat in 8th place between February and May 2017, only to finish 10th on the last game of the season. Our football needed to return to being entertaining again. The summer of 2017 to prepare for this was the perfect opportunity. However, instead of being wise enough to realise Pulis’ time had come to an end and part amicably, that foolish chief executive John Williams rewarded him with a much improved new contract. The rest as they say, is history.

Is that plank Sherwood still on it? He needs to go as well......

Its painful , only Stelling keeping it going.
Pulis was dreadful on it as much as I respect certain parts of his knowledge.

Regarding Pulis and money, doesn’t he have a house at Sandbanks, Poole, near ‘Arry’s place? If so, he can’t be too much short........!

I think he lives next door to 'Arry.

I go sea fishing out of Poole on a regular basis and we pass Sandbanks. The skipper always points out 'Arrys place, very nice indeed!

I bet Southampton supporters are delighted the powers that be kept faith with Hasenhuttl following their spanking by nine, rather than panic and hire that 'never been relegated' safe pair of hands Trainer Man fella from down the road.

Stayed a few months too long?! The only job he did for us was drag the club's reputation as a footballing side through the dirt.

He did what was needed for a couple of seasons after Mel & Irvine debacle

He really did....he was exactly the right person at the time.

I agree with this 100%. I fully respect people's right to express their own opinion but mine is clear: In 50 plus years of supporting our great club, when I take everything into account, he is the worst manager we have had.

Craig Gardner appointed his assistant. Explains why he played a part in pretty much every game whilst here despite being muck.

If i am right in thinking in an away game at Palace he took Berahino off and replaced him with Gardner and we went on to lose 2-0. Pulis later claimed after the game 'we lacked attacking intent'. Never listened to the man after that.

I wasn't Craig's biggest supporter by any means but I've just looked this up and there's no escaping some things. He signed at the start of the 14/15 season, made 35 PL appearances and we finished 13th. Made 34 appearances in 15/16 and we finished 14th. He left for Blues during 16/17 having made 9 PL appearances for us and we finished 10th. The following season (17/18) without Mr Gardner we finished 20th and went down. Shocking stats when you think about it........

All I remember is that, when Gardner started, he just ran around pointing a lot without really touching the ball. Then, when he was on the bench, he was the answer to every question, winning, losing or drawing he came on and proceeded to run around pointing a lot without really touching the ball.
Couldn't tackle, couldn't pass and rarely scored, apart from the odd worldy.
Remind you of anyone

Yes now you come to mention it; me during my last season back in '94.

In my defence my knees were buggered though, the mind was still willing but the body wasn't  .

A very honest self assessment sir. Pretty much sums up my entire career, to be fair, hence the reason I never escaped the District League and never owned a Bentley!
I did like Bentley's nightclub though and performed rather better at that level

We have had some very poor managers but for me, Ron Saunders was the worst.

Yes, he wasn’t great. A different era of course. Pulis is fresher in the memory of course

[TheJacko2000]

Without triggering a good 90 percent of you Pulis (by consecutive league finishes) is only bettered by Hodgson since the 80s.

Far from the worst.

I have only been a fan for around 20-25 years and he wouldn’t make my top 2/3. I would definitely put Pardew & Irvine above him in worse managers and probably even Pepe Mel with everything going on during that short period.

By no means a Pulis fan by the way I just think the way people look at the as ‘the dark days’ and the worst we’ve had is a bit much.

Especially with stats like Jacko has just pointed out

[ahandpatsy]

Maybe you should measure how bad he was on how many people stopped going to the match because of the manager,   Pulis turned me away from the Hawthornes after 9 years of never missing a match.  A total dinosaur.  Also saturday afternoons on Sky I cringe and now can't watch that with him either.
