john ridley Posted 12 February 2015 Share Posted 12 February 2015 Don't think we've got the players good enough for him to have turned us around.No saying he'd have come away . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
funkyrobot Posted 12 February 2015 Share Posted 12 February 2015 If Pulis is so good, why did Stoke gently show him the door a couple of years ago? He wanted to stay but they didn't want him. To simply survive year on year playing physical longer ball football clearly wasnt something Stoke wanted to do anymore and tbf they play much more attractive football under Sparky Hughes.

Which is the point made by a few. Stay up, cement your PL place and create the financial stability to change your way of playing to a more attractive one if you so wish.

To simply survive year on year playing physical longer ball football clearly wasnt something Stoke wanted to do anymore and tbf they play much more attractive football under Sparky Hughes. Pulis laid such solid foundations for Hughes to take over though, A club boosted by several years of stable finishes, no threat of relegation and a good squad of players that could be built on. Hes one of those characters that no one seems to want at their club........Until he is actually at your club, and then he is someone who commands the respect of everyone at the club and runs a solid, sound unit. Certainly a man who deserves a lot more respect than he gets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roger the dodger Posted 13 February 2015 Share Posted 13 February 2015 Fvck Pulis. The second he took a job at another club he becomes just another rival. I hope he fails miserably. but he is not failing Pearson is ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bettsj2 Posted 13 February 2015 Share Posted 13 February 2015 but he is not failing Pearson is ! Fvck him. Fvck him in the eye. Couldnt give a shit about him now. Pearson is quite clearly going to be our manager for the foreseeable future so tough sh*t. If he's not been sacked after that dismal run where we threw promotion away a couple of years ago and now this failure of a season, he's probably, along with cockroaches likely to survive a nuclear bomb. Come on Nige, loads of people think you're God. Give us a fvcking miracle! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cityfanlee23 Posted 13 February 2015 Share Posted 13 February 2015 Pulis's win statistics are poor compared to Nigel's: Pearson's win % = 42.97 LEAGUE 1 CHAMPIONSHIP (This figure was about 56% or something coming into this season....) Pulis's win % = 36.92 PREMIERSHIP If you look at his West Brom Statistics and the initial 'New Manager' syndrome his % is 57.14 after 7 games. QPR might have a few wins with the change.... Let's hope not..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedSoxUK Posted 13 February 2015 Share Posted 13 February 2015 The circle jerking around Pullis is ridiculous. It's all about the best man for the job, and right now it is Nigel ****ing Pearson without a doubt, to motivate this team, his team. Would you have really wanted Callum McManaman and Darren Fletcher? The latter being a walking injury and dent in the wage list. Same manager who benched Andre Wisdom and Berahino for Anichibe and Chris Baird!! While looking to bring in Carlton ****ing Cole. I'm glad with what we have. Pearson's never been relegated either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DANGEROUS TIGER Posted 13 February 2015 Share Posted 13 February 2015 I recall some of the vitriol that was made towards even the thought of replacing Nigel Pearson with Tony Pulis. And thought, yet again this season, where are people coming from? Pulis is an experienced, Premier League manager who has a knack of setting up teams to be solid at any level. West Brom have done completely the right thing by sacking Irvine to replace him with Pulis. They did it at the correct time and in the correct manner. And Pulis will keep the Baggies up I think. If so, it will be mission accomplished. Forget 'consistency', forget all this gubbins about 'playing the Pulis way' and all that other stuff. It will have been mission accomplished. THEN West Brom could re-build, if they felt they needed to. Pulis has simply come in and steadied the ship. Sound management of Football Club. Exactly. Pulis has that most important ingredient of all, Premiership experience. It is that pedigree which will be the difference of WBA remaining in to top league, and us, plummeting at great speed towards relegation. Whether people love or dislike Pearson, that fact is likely to be proven, come the end of the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's hope not..... Wrong! Pulis's record is his totality of clubs including Bournemouth, Gillingham, Bristol, Portsmouth Stoke etc so NOT just the Premiership. Pearson's figures are also his total clubs INCLUDING this season in the Premiership - that should depress his figures! (Clubs also where he has been caretaker manager.)

sylofox Posted 13 February 2015 Share Posted 13 February 2015 If we get relegated, I will look back at the failure to bring him in when we had the opportunity,assuming he would have wanted to come here. He has a good knowledge of what is required in the Premiership. unlike Pearson, but that is water under the bridge. Time to pray harder chaps, for a miracle. Up the City. Have I missed something when did the owners try to bring him in? Have they ever spoke to pullis? So unless I have missed something how did we fail to get Pullis in if we never tried. Why do people on here talk like there view is that of the owners. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Col city fan Posted 14 February 2015 Share Posted 14 February 2015 Just watching Brom now. If ever there was an argument AGAINST consistency of manager, this is it. They have done absolutely the right thing by sacking Irvine. And look a rejuvenated side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a massive difference between Pulis replacing Irvine to Pearson though. One has been in serial decline at West Brom, the other has oversaw considerable progress at Leicester. Would I swop Irvine for Pulis? Yes. Pearson - I wouldn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
