I'd give it Pulis until the end of the season, give him room to make changes to the squad in January as he sees fit. He will keep us up, but then we need to look at the football we played under him and the signings he makes before deciding on whether to give it to him long term. The fact he was considering the Brighton job shows he is pretty desperate to get back into management so a compromise between him and JP shouldn't be a problem.

If not, I'd take Sherwood or a proven head coach/manager in a top foreign league. Would love Laudrup but there is no chance.
