Borodane 6,246 Posted May 28, 2017 Share Posted May 28, 2017 Pulis is a bit of a random one. I've seen the baggies play a few times. They can play some pretty good football. Why he'd drop down to us is a bit silly but who knows. Monk or Wagner for me please. Maybe he just wants a new challenge and maybe he will have more money to spend here. Perhaps he feels WBA have gone as far they can. Link to post Share on other sites
Dan_Boro_Till_I_Die 1,178 Posted May 28, 2017 Share Posted May 28, 2017 I hope this time next week we have a manager in place. Link to post Share on other sites
Snowblind 1,711 Posted May 28, 2017 Share Posted May 28, 2017 Supposedly he's sick to death of the Baggies fans having a go. The WBA fans down here don't reckon there's anything in it; say they can't see him leaving. Link to post Share on other sites
LinoJo3 3,098 Posted May 28, 2017 Share Posted May 28, 2017 He's probably trying to get a new contract Link to post Share on other sites
pikerman 1,089 Posted May 28, 2017 Share Posted May 28, 2017 There must be a potential manager out there for us who does not bring negative baggage with him. Pulls is an experienced manager but seems to have fallen out with the Baggies Chinese owners over his financial dealings, especially as regards his court case with Palace over severance pay, which he eventually lost. The Chinese want a new younger manager to lead them in a different direction, should we not want the same? I would be ecstatic if Wagner was that man, with Staam a close second and Monk coming in third. Link to post Share on other sites
wilsoncgp 9,230 Posted May 28, 2017 Share Posted May 28, 2017 He's probably trying to get a new contract That is the only reason I could see him realistically trying to leave a PL club. Indeed it isn't the most exciting appointment but then we just had some very successful years at the top end of the Championship that we also didn't have a very exciting manager at the helm for. And as others have said, he is certainly capable of keeping is up if he could get us promoted. Link to post Share on other sites
Uwe 3,543 Posted May 28, 2017 Share Posted May 28, 2017 I thought we weren't gonna go for a foreign manager so for that hat reason I don't believe we're in for Pulis :s Link to post Share on other sites
GwenStuani 4 Posted May 28, 2017 Share Posted May 28, 2017 Wouldn't touch pulis after the ruling in his claim against palace Link to post Share on other sites
Ayresome7 187 Posted May 28, 2017 Share Posted May 28, 2017 Michael Owen wasnt very complimentary about his training ground methods at Stoke, very old school and traditional. Link to post Share on other sites
BillyWoofs_shinpad 1,884 Posted May 28, 2017 Share Posted May 28, 2017 Thee Tony Pulis?? Seriously?? That would be an amazing appointment. Link to post Share on other sites
MidleastBoro 30 Posted May 28, 2017 Share Posted May 28, 2017 Wasn't there talk of Pulis at the same time that we were approaching Karanka, and everyone (well, the vast majority) said how they wouldn't want Pulis? What's changed, apart from the fact we're a much better proposition now than when we appointed Aitor? Link to post Share on other sites

"KM" 1,656 Posted May 28, 2017 Share Posted May 28, 2017 He's probably trying to get a new contract Or trying to get himself the sack. He's probably realised he has taken West Brom as far as he can. Link to post Share on other sites
Duvel 2,446 Posted May 28, 2017 Share Posted May 28, 2017 Id expect Pulis to get us promoted and establish us as a mid table premier league club for a few seasons. The fans would probably be pretty divided with him though because he wouldn't have us playing like Barcelona. It would be endless threads on message boards arguing about results vs entertainment.

LinoJo3 3,098 Posted May 28, 2017 Share Posted May 28, 2017 Our disaster season in the premiership compared to pulis performance up there probably. Personally I wouldn't have him, I'd risk not going with 'the safe option' for someone a bit more progressive but I can see why Gibson and other people would want him. Going for pulis has a bit of a strachan feel to it he's to much of a 'does the job', picks a team, plays matches and that's it, old school 'don't need any of that fancy crap' type guy. Will appeal to some people just not to me. Link to post Share on other sites
