Getting off the fence now.
I would not be unhappy if Rodgers (or Raffa) happened this summer. But my fear, and we have lost of history to suggest it would be true, is that unless it happened fast we would end up with another bad season as they will have inherited a squad and would say they came too late to change it in year one.
So I vote Tony Pulis.
Justification being that if JP supports him this summer, TP plus the new technical director have a great opportunity to invest in a squad refresh this summer. TP fully appreciates what he has and where the changes are needed. I accept he will err on the side of caution and survival first, but he has shown a willingness to add flair and attack recently and maybe next season we will get more of that.
It's a work in development. Season by season. Fingers crossed for a good transfer window summary. See you all on that thread for the next four months.
