I don't think he's going nowhere so I think just back him for the time being. I want a change now but it's not gonna happen anytime soon and I don't want us to go down

It was on Talksport today after 12pm (UK time).

I can understand people getting misty eyed over Pulis and what he achieved that season. Can't take that away from him.

However, he had no problem leaving the club managerless on the eve of the next season. And he lost the court case against Palace as he was proven to be in breach of contract.

I was at a Q and A session after a lunch at Selhurst Park at the end of that season he was with Palace. He was asked if he would still be manager next season. What followed was the sort of waffle that a politician would have been proud of, and of course, no answer to the question.

I met him briefly in Philadelphia on the pre season trip shortly before he walked out. I was struck by how personally charming he was, but it was also noticeable that the players looked miserable to a man - something didn't feel right.

Looks like he peaked with Palace as it turned out.

Old, Ungifted and White

Tony Pulis is the best manager we have had since Coppell. was going great until Parish's pie crust promises

Agreed.

There's room for different tactics in the game.
Personally I prefer crosses and goalmouth excitement rather than knocking the ball about between the goalkeeper and defenders retaining the ball for no purpose.
Accurate crosses into box with strikers attacking both near and far posts with atacking midfielders on the edge of the area to pick up any knockdowns.
Football is cyclical and if Pep started trying it, many would follow.

Apparently the first question Pulis asked when he met the squad was, 'Anyone here have a long throw?'
Concise and pragmatic.

The way we play this season we rarely get more than a couple of players into the opposition penalty area apart from set pieces.
If you're going to play in a compact style and largely forget about the final third you really need an energetic midfielder like Gallagher who will make lung busting runs into the opposition penalty area.
Our lone striker is often isolated with no teammate within 30 yards of him.

He did mention small bit about leaving and explained about relationships with owners.

The other thing people forget he didn't want the Palace job Sir Alex was the one which talked him into taking the challenge.

Players may have been told by him he was leaving which is why they was not happy (He comes across as person who would directly tell them)

I too have met him twice once was very brief the other around 5min chat which was mostly about Rugby it was at Wales/England game & if he would take Wales football job this was before Giggs was in charge.
