Not fussed if it is Pulis or Sherwood as I feel both have at least the short term credentials to keep us up whereas AI was 100% certain to take us down.
This naturally assumes JP can actually swallow his pride and sum up the cash to make one of these fit. I am sure it will cost more money and it will result in backroom staff changes (I hope so).
Tony Pulis: Although I once hated him for being a long ball merchant. My main gripe with him was that no matter how hard we tried we could not win against Stoke. When he went to Palace they seemed to be play some good football. This shows that if he has the resources he can use them and is not a one trick pony. We have players that can play pretty football. They just were not encouraged to play it and had a bag over their heads as far as tactics were concerned.
Tim Sherwood: For me this is more exciting but he is less experienced. He was doing well at Spurs and was unfairly dismissed and had not done much wrong in my book. He is a fighter and a proud man and I am sure he will kick just as much arse and TP would do. I have no doubt about surviving with him at the helm either.
So, Happy days for me - assuming one of these gets the job, with a tweak of the squad in January, I am sure that they can get the Albion engine firing again and secure enough points to survive. Therefore, with Premiership status secured for next season its a case of which one would make the best show.
Tony Pulis is likely to be a safe pair of hands and with additions to the squad in the summer we could be comfortable in knowing we will be safe from relegation and maybe even have a good cup run. But I doubt we will display flair and shake up things and be in the top 10.
Tim Sherwood is more exciting, as said before. We could play expansive and attacking football and cause trouble for the establish top 10 clubs. Europe could even be a stretch rather than a pipe dream. But what comes with this is the danger that the wax on our wings will melt and it all goes wrong.
Personally, 18 months is a long time in football and although I would be very pleased not to get more grey hair by knowing Tony Pulis was in charge and we were 'steady as she goes', I'd rather secure this season and sign up for an exciting ride with Tim Sherwood.
Sadly I doubt JP is reading this or gives a damn about my opinion.
