He could be at your place next week if you lose a game.

As we all know, Pulis is a careful what you wish for manager.
He did ok for us, going to the play off final, but was a nasty piece of work and his style of football is dire.

He did do well at Stoke but it was a ruthless style of football. He should have gone to Leeds!!!

Was he sacked or did he walk out? He's done that before. With the January window opening in the next few days I reckon he has asked for money to buy players that the club simply ain't got and walked. He's done that before.

That’s possibly the case.
He did that with us.
Although he was sacked, he’d already lined up Bristol City, which is why he was sacked.
He then took the club to court for unfair dismissal but lost the case.
He’d been lining up his move to City on his club phone and travelled in his club car

Sheffield Wednesday do seem to have lost the knack of picking a good manager, but at least they only sack them when they are losers, not like Watford who sack theirs even if they are in the play off places.

I thought we had blown a win when we let Blackburn equalise in the 86th minute, then our centre half got his second in injury time.

We have just signed, for free, a flying Dane from the Arctic Circle on a 5 1/2 year contract ... does this mean that our Sarrhaha is off to Liverpool for a cool 50 million any time soon ... with such a business model one can have a Manager every week if one wants

ps ... RIP Tommy Doc, great player, Manager and comedian

I was reading an article about football teams success over a 60 season period and top was Liverpool, 2nd Man Utd and 3rd Arsenal.
Most of the top 20 are currently in the premier league.

Watford are 35th and Gills are a credible 68th.

Well they were on the wiki list I found, but that was an all time one, because our points came from the twenties when we were the first team to do the hat trick of Division one titles.
