I would even consider Pulis at the moment over AI.  Yes we have an instinctive dislike for him, espescially after his "hoof ball" tactic's.  But I do wonder watching his teams after Stoke, how much of that was down to the players available to him.

You mean the players that he alone was responsible for buying, and spent tens of millions of pounds on over the course of seven seasons...?

I guess I am so used to our style of management know, I forget the way it is still done at most clubs
