Saft, Pulis lives in the Sandbanks area (Bournemouth) close to 'Arry so doubt if he made the journey north. I went to the game as a guest and sat next to the Directors box from which an obviously furious JP left after Sjoke's second goal and there was no sign of Pulis.

I would be very surprised if JP went after Pulis as with them both having mega-ego's and an arrogant controlling personality there would be huge clashes. I personally would like to see a hungry young English HC in the mould of Eddie Howe or Steve Cotterill who is doing a fantastic job at Bristol City and has Premiership experience.

Steve Cotterill! Now THERE'S an interesting one.
Followed Cheltenham home & away through the Conference and then for the first few years in the FL. SC is a winner; only slight experience in the PL but this came too soon for him, also under/ alongside Wilkinson which would've been 'difficult', I'd imagine.
He's a real man manager who won't accept anything other than 100%; however his teams play a real committed game WITH flair if the players are available.
Interesting......
