Pulis

If we get Pulis I'm giving up on football.

Weir?

Have I missed something?

It's not over until Morgan hires someone. Who gives a flying feck what names the bookies throw out? It's only done to get bone heads to put their hard earned money on. Tony Pulis? Yeah right! Lump on!

Those drifting odds could make someone a rich person

Pulis to Wigan, Martinez to Everton

Yup and a lot more people poor

Pulis's terrible style of football will surely make it hard for him to land a decent job (I will join you on a suicide pact if I have to eat my words on that one HAAK)

dj,

much as I hate to watch any pulis side and dislike his cynical, cheating coaching...

i'll predict he gets a premier league job within the year.

if yr a regular struggling side or newly promoted team wanting to stop up, the attraction of pulis is obvious.

I wouldn't pay to watch wolves if we ever played like that, but the stoke route has been successful up to now and I actually agree with their timing of this. they are as well set now as they ever could be and are taking the proper gamble on trying to move forward...not necessarily in places up the league but in style and entertainment.

the sad thing is that if it backfires and they slip down now then all the old idiot pundits will be out with the 'be careful what you wish for' bo11ox. but surely it is right that premier league sides aspire to some kind of improvement and if they can't buy their way into the top 7 then the only way to show that improvement is quality football and entertainment for the fans? so good luck to stoke and if they pull this one off I suspect they will cement their place as the side newly promoted teams should try to emulate for years to come.

As Mark Hughes is "in the frame" for the Stoke job; I strongly think that they may-well be relegated at some point soon.

Cant argue with those points gb. Pulis has done a fabulous job for Stoke in terms of their results. But I sincerely hope that Wolves don't go down the route that Pulis and Allardyce and McLeish and others follow of the results are all that matters and sod the quality. If I didnt go to the games then I wouldn't be bothered but as I do go I would rather watch a team with the likes of Kightly, Jarvis, Fletcher and Doyle and be criticised for conceding too many, than be a team that only offers a goal threat from throw ins and corners.

"If I didnt go to the games then I wouldn't be bothered"

Jesus, That is so obviously a massive dig at WITSS and Cinc, you just cannot help yourself can you? Burying these little barbs in otherwise perfectly innocuous comments just to look sensible. We see you Crikey, we see you.

Actually it wasn't a dig at them at all (honest guv). There are many on here that can't go to games. And if my circumstances changed and I stopped going to games then I guess it wouldn't be too important to me how they won as long as they won

I was only joking Crikey. I remember WITSS was upset when you last said something about people who didn't go to games not having so much investment in our style of play, a comment I totally agreed with.

Its true Ulf. If all that mattered was the results I would watch games on teletext rather than pay £400. And there were times during Stale's reign where teletext would have looked like a much more entertaining style of football

There's a huge difference with people not being able to go to games because of where they live and those that cannot go to games because of financial restraints.

Then of course there are the STH and those in between who go to the odd game now and then.

It appears to me that for someone to brag about going to every game, is somewhat being a wee bit pompous and big headed.

At the end of the day, we all support Wolves and are entitled to have opinions, whether we see the matches live, watch them on TV or don't/cannot go to games and rely on reports from the media and others.

If the cap fits...

The issue if WHY people don't go to games wasn't brought up by Crikey this time or the last. it is a complete non-issue as far as this debate is concerned.

That said, I would never criticise someone for not going to games, with two caveats:

1. I would be impressed if someone goes to every game, it is a hell of a commitment and I would give their views a great deal more weight because of it.

2. I would have absolutely no issue whatsoever with a fan who has never once been to a Wolves game or even seen one on TV. BUT - it would irritate me if that person didn't allow for that fact when debating stuff. For example, singling out a player for heavy criticism. If you haven't been to games, you can't possibly make judgments more extreme than the most extreme found in the media.
