I would like to know what this "big picture" is that those of us who don't want Pulis apparently can't see. From what I've witnessed over the last 9 months, the only things I can see are us becoming the most negative team in Premier League history, being quite rightly vilified by various commentators, falling crowds and a long, painful slide back to the Championship.
Perhaps someone can enlighten me to what I'm missing.

As I said in the OP, it's that we have a defence which cannot stand on its own two legs (quite literally, in some cases).  If we open up and play attacking football with the players we've currently got, we're going to get annihilated on a weekly basis.  To become a better, more entertaining team, we have to get the building blocks in place first, and that's going to require grinning and bearing some abject dross in the meantime.

Admittedly I'd be a lot happier if someone at the club would actually give us some inkling of a long-term plan, and dispel the fear that the attitude behind the scenes is simply "We've got King Pulis in charge; all will be well forevermore," but that's probably one for the Albion Assembly to tackle.
