Why Pulis cannot be sacked!

[mickd1961]

Sorry but what total and utter tripe, the guy is a dinasour of epic proportions who hasn't an attacking bone in his body, give him a squad of mediocre players who work aaaard and he will succeed, give him a squad of higher quality players with skill and guile and he is totally out of his depth. Pulis should be no where near any younger players either because he knocks any skill they have out of them, also he obviously distrusts younger players, instead of coaching them he bombs them out. I for one can't wait until this so called coach is well and truly out of our club, a coach who is sucking the life blood out of the club and it's fantastic supporters.

Massive "LIKE"

Possession counts for nothing...how many more times do I have to say this? We have to back Tony Pulis for now. He will keep us up, however the russian roulette mindset of going for a a manager mid season to change everything is not right. It would take us months to adapt. We will change our manager at some point but dont give our competitors a lift by throwing us in disarray. He will turn it round I have no doubt.

Pretty well my opinion boingy buddy.
Like most fans, I am disappointed, particularly given the quality of our squad. Having said that, I am reluctant to subscribe to a 'Pulis out' campaign without a suitable replacement candidate. Maybe the coach/manager selection panel have such a suitable guy waiting in the sidelines ?
I'm not so sure !

I find it interesting that the bookies, who often get these things right, we’re offering 20/1 TP to be the next Manager to move on just before Bilic was sacked but he is now 2/1 second favourite after the Watford Manager, who I presume they feel will shortly be going to Everton.
On that basis I am with you Prando, I just hope our recruitment team have someone lined up quickly as a replacement but not confident on that one at all. Just look at the problems Everton are encountering in replacing Koeman.

So the arguements for the defense are He may keep us up, he may change his style and there's no one else out there. Be careful what you wish for and of course another club got relegated changing their manager at some point in history.

I'll just stick with the facts of form,playing style and more importantly results.
Sack him !!!
If he's gone Monday it's six months too late.

It seems like some of the die hard's have settled for the mediocrity of mid table. I have said a hundred times on here before and I reiterate 'it's only doing the average that keeps the average down'.

There were games in the past year when we have played some well balanced football...you can rely on Pulis...only to break it down play the players out of position and when they show an opinion of their own he will leave them on the bench or get rid of them altogether. Whicka...Mon is generous when stating it will be only six months too late.

Does not scoring goals or not keeping clean sheets, count for anything?

Totally missed my point. Possession counts for nothing. Leicester won the league with 38% on average. Its what you do when you have the ball that counts. No good having 70% possession and losing a match, happens a lot. So I would say that penetration rules over possession.

My missus just read your post and assured me I always had the penetration...

What I dont want to see are comments like this if we change managers and go down.
"Should have kept Pulis, at least he'd have kept us up"
"Cant believe we went down and wolves came up, should have kept Pulis, wish we had now"
Unfortunatelly thats exactly what will happen if Pulis goes and we are nothing short of very lucky that a new manager hits the ground running. Look at the likes of Benitez....couldnt keep Newcastle up could he? we would all say he was a better manager than Pulis. Be careful what you wish for.

A lot of things disapoint me too Prando, If I could go back to the days when Willie johnston got me out of my seat almost with every touch but we arent at that point right now and I dont rate many managers these days, but I do rate Pulis for keeping clubs up. I do want to see us kick on at some point but mid season changes are wrought with difficulties and even top managers have struggled to produce what the fans want. Its always harder than it looks.
