I am not a hypocrite, and I won't change the opinion I have held about Pullis.
I remember the abuse he has been rightly given over the years, for me he is not welcome, at The Hawthorns.
We are in a desperate situation, and maybe that's why so many of you have such short memories, and are prepared to sell your soul...
Dont see anyone selling their soul.
As a club we are currently only going one way and have been for a while, backwards.
Hodgson gave us stability and a real geniune belief that we not only deserved to be in the premier league, but that we deserved to actually put up a fight and achieve good league positions.
Since Hodgson has left I havent felt positive about the new coaches we have had, Mel was the only coach since then that made me actually warm to his philosphies, whether that be because he didnt get the full backing or whatever else is for a different topic.
This season from the appointment of AI, to the protests for Season ticket refunds, the way we have played, tactics, formations and various other reasons, alot of fans patience have worn thin, few people on here have admitted to turning their backs on going to games for the first time in 10,20,30 years.
We have since appointed Pulis, and the buzz around the appointment and the lift it has given us fans is clear to see. You only have to look on the pre match chat against Gateshead to see how many people have brought tickets to go watch tomorows game now, all because of appointing a manager many fans TRUST to get the best out of our football club.
As a baggies fan, all I want is for my team to do well, to fight and battle on the pitch, attempt to play some decent football at times, put up a challenge against the so called bigger teams, and just enjoy watching my team play.
I havent had that luxury in the last 2 seaons, but do I think Pulis can provide the above, yes I do, and I guarantee theres many more albion fans who believe that too.
Pulis already has the fans backing, something which AI didnt, and I for one wish him all the best in his time at WBA.
