Drewks, I think it all depends on the ambition that the new owner and his team (chairman, board etc) have. If they are happy with average football bringing about a decent points return season after season then Pulis is definitely the long term man for them. If the ambition is more than that and they want West Bromwich Albion to be a team that can get consistent results whilst playing an attractive style of football and attracting a wider audience then they will have to eventually move on from Tony Pulis.

Time will tell really. Tony Pulis still deserves this season with this better squad but if everything is the same at the end of the season as it is now (results and points return is good but performances are bad, fan attendances lower than they should be and a general negative atmosphere when we play like a League One team away at Chelsea in the FA Cup when we're actually playing away at Brighton in the Premier League) then I would hope the club takes a ruthless approach.

Josh, a very good post mate When I arrived at the ground yesterday I was quite excited with the line up but it sank in very fast once we kicked off that Pulis had asked Phillips to literally play alongside Gibbs!! so we literally had 2 LB's and 2 RB's.

He constantly shouts from the side lines which in my opinion doesn't help the players one bit. A few times Phillips started to move forwards and Pulis is yelling for him to drop back.

We had hardly any attacking threat and Jay Rod was making runs but due to TP's philosophy when the ball was played up he had run offside. I watched him make his moves several times but had to arch back.

After 10 minutes I said to my lad 'This will be a 0-0' or first goal will win it.

The problem with Pulis is whoever we play be it home or away, he sets up like we are playing Barcelona in the Nou Camp and everyone who sits by agrees that we cannot remember being excited on a match day since he has been at the club. Sometimes I actually think shall I bother today and that is unacceptable in my eyes and the other poor buggers who are season ticket holders who.

I know I keep banging on about it and I have had the balls to put my hands up when he's done well but he is killing our clubs DNA of what used to be attractive have a go football.

It takes me a fair while to get to the games and the same back home and I honestly think I can't be bothered anymore because there is no entertainment value whatsoever. My Daughter couldn't make the game yesterday and I couldn't give her ticket away. That's the Pulis impact for you.

In some ways I agree that now he has the players he should be given time but I always hope to see on SSN that he has quit.
