Where to start with all this.
First of all, I'm a Stoke fan and I have to say the comments on this thread from supporters who are having the joy of football strangled out of them by the Pulis brand of 'football' are depressingly familiar.
He'll talk about needing more quality while chucking millions down the drain on centre halves to play at full back and forwards who'll need binoculars to find the nearest midfielder to support him. The midfield will just become part of the 'back eight as he lovingly liked to refer to it.
The list of crimes against football are endless, and to be honest, I can't be arsed to list them because by the looks of it, you've pretty much got him nailed anyway.
The bad news is that after a couple of poor results, he'll really baton down the hatches and grind out a few 0-0 results to keep you on target for the golden ticket 40 points he always craves. And that really will be the height of your ambitions for the time he's at your club. What fun and entertainment you'll have...NOT!
For your sakes, I hope he doesn't darken your doorstep for too long. Our club gained itself a reputation for ugliness that it will take years to get rid of. But don't think he'll be put off by supporter unrest. He really has the thickest skin in football. He'll go when your owners decide enough is enough.
You guys will know whether your owners are happy to put up with utter dirge week after week to stay in the Premier League, or whether they care enough about the supporters to spare them further punishment by getting rid at the end of the season.
By then, like at Stoke, large numbers of you will probably be considering giving up on the club you've loved all your lives. It really does get that bad. You have my sympathy.
Best wishes,
DK
Well thats depressed me that bit more
