I must be in the minority - I LIKE TONY PULIS!!

I don't find him at all arrogant; IMO his press conferences are a breath of fresh air compared to the bland, characterless, say-nothing type of the vast majority of PL managers. I also find him honest, not blind to the fact that his players CAN sometimes not do the right thing.

I'm not blind to his faults - I am just as exasperated as anyone when he sticks rigidly to a more defensive approach; when he plays players out of position, when he doesn't play a more attacking player when it's crying out for him to do so.
But these are opinions. His is obviously different to mine, and a lot of others.
He picks a team not to lose first, sure - but obviously his huge priority is to get enough points to keep us in the PL. He obviously believes that this is best achieved by firstly having a very strong defence. I, and a lot of you, would like him to be (much) more expansive, but this is his way, and that's why JP appointed him.
I realise that TP is doing his best for our club; quite honestly, reading some comments on here, it seems like some folk think he's deliberately picking the wrong team - ie picking a team to lose!

As has been said many times on here, who else is there that could do a better job at a club of our size? We are so much better off now than when he joined us, and it's baffling to me that so many just can't, or won't, see that.

Step back and let the flack fly!!
