Tony Pulis did superbly at Crystal Palace playing attractive counter attacking football, he apparently "Didnt have the players at Stoke" to play that way (Adam, Huth, Shawcross, N`zonzi etc cant pass,ahem)

Seeing as Stoke spent a fortune of Pulis buys whos to blame?
Pulis spent a fortune on the likes of Palicious (40k pw), Shea, Kightly etc never to play them
Had his faviroute players and ridgingly stuck to them no matter how bad they played (Wilkinson, Walters)
Forwards never scored more than ten a season each
Ignored than fans and bashed them in the press, totally self-indulgent in his own importance, fell out with the press also(may as well go for Billy Davies)
The only players who came out looking good from Pulis reign were Shawcross, Begovic and Huth
Expect 1980`s full backs who `clear their lines` nothing more
Worse football than under Irvine

Anyone who votes Pulis may as well vote for Howard Wilkisnon or Bobby Gould

Hey y'old turkey - surely your first and last lines above contradict each other?!
Palace DID play excellent football under Pulis so he CAN do it. I'm not arguing that Stoke's style wasn't his (at the time). or that he didn't waste shedloads of money on dross players whilst there - I'm looking at his last job which gave him the Manager of the Year award!
