Anyone still want TP to keep his job beyond the end of this season?

HJA, the only 'positives' I can see is the acquisition of Fletcher & Evans but, other than that and the cost of a Bovril going down in the Brummie, we're worse this season than last with Pulis in charge.
Also HJA, as to the coin throwing incident, you are looking at it from a narrow perspective. You have to ask yourself why he acted that way and the answer can only be sheer frustration and anger at the teams limp performances week in week out and where does the ultimate responsibility for that lie ????
If you are one of the few remaining 'Pulis Lovers' fair enough, your entitled to your opinion but there is no denying that we are hugely divided as a club dishing up dreadful football and are now labelled toxic by other Premiership clubs, their fans and the media.
The Pulis contamination has to be expunged from every corner and crevice of our beloved club before things can improve and as shown in a poll in 'another place' the vast majority now see this and accept he was a bad appointment from day one.
PULIS OUT !

No. He hasn't claimed I've said I want Pulis here next season though.
You have.
But you still haven't showed me where and I'm still waiting...
You're Failing.

"Cox was gutted we won."
Where did I say I was gutted we won?

Pulisaurus and TBM - genuine question here... Do you see any positives from the last year and a bit that Pulis has been in charge?

Yes, we've stayed up and i'm more than optimistic we'll stay up this season.
Apart from that, as I see it, we've at best gone sideways if not backwards.

I'm definitely not a Pulis lover, and when you label other fans like that it's difficult to take you seriously. I won't be happy if he's here next season but it looks like he will be moving on anyway.
But, I still stand by that Pulis was the best answer for us at the time we appointed him. It was either him or Sherwood and you'd struggle to find a Villa fan who'd say we made the wrong choice. I never saw him as a long term solution, and I don't think many others did either.
Personally, I'd say we are unquestionably better compared to when Pepe Mel or Irvine was in charge. While everyone is aware just how bad we can play, I'd say we have good games more often than we used to.
I can take performances when we have our back to the wall when we play teams that are better than us. But believe me when I say I find it just as frustrating as you when play so defensively against the teams we've been playing over the last month or two and the squad just don't know how to play any other way. Hopefully whoever is in charge next season can build on the solid defensive foundations we have now to make us more expansive in the same way Clarke did with Hodgson's team.

To be honest I'd say it's you that's looking at this from a narrow perspective. It's no secret that you have a personal vendetta towards Pulis, which makes it easier for you to blame this on him. The guy who threw the coin is a thug who we do not need or want to be associated with. It's not an act of frustration it's an act of a hooligan

Fair comment Harry. The only Albion fan i'm aware of who didn't want Tp in the first place was Baggieman.
I was happy for us to hire TP on the proviso that we got rid of him at the end of last season. I could see what was coming this season hence my numerous anti Pulis comments and I stand by what i've said.
Like you said, fingers crossed for the next appointment assuming TP does indeed go this summer.
I don't want the moon on a stick. I just don't want a balanced squad (we're in desperate need of some full backs and an attacking midfielder) and some attacking intent when faced with teams we know we can beat. I'm not expecting all out attack and i'm quite happy for us to park the bus on occasion.

Arsie has changed his tune. It wasn't nine months ago that he set up a Tony Pulis fan club page.
