I cannot get excited about Pulis coming in as manager and I am surprised others are.

We will never win the Premiership as we do not have the unlimited resource of Chelsea, Man C etc The best we can hope for is mid table obscurity and a good cup run.

So why do you support the Albion? If you want to win things it would be easy being a glory hunter, the reason I go is because I want to be entertained, and if that means playing entertaining football in a lower division or dross in the premier then I know which I would choose.

Let me know when we can begin the Pulis out campaign, I'll give him until next year.

It really doesn't matter at all who the head/coach is.
They don't play.
All they do is cajole, threaten, encourage, and talk and shout endlessly....
Pulis is as good, and bad, as anybody else and that includes
everybody else.

So why get rid of Irvine? oh I know apparently Pulis can "guarantee" survival as I've read on various social media.

Forget about Stoke for one Minute,.............

Did you watch any Palace games last season ?

If not pop on to some of the Palace boards and see the great things they say about the football Pullis served up for them......
You still may get your wish

Heres a sample........

"The idea which is being put around that the chairman didn't want to back Tony in the transfer market because he didn't like the style of play is frankly mystifying.
'When he took over he had to work with the squad he inherited and he organised them to play with pace and power and be really quick through the pitch.
'The result was some fantastically exciting games and some brilliant nights at Selhurst Park that got the ground absolutely buzzing.
'Nobody was complaining about the style of play when Palace beat Chelsea near the end of the season, or won 3-2 at Everton, or drew 3-3 with Liverpool.
'People were saying that was one of the most exciting games seen at Selhurst Park in years.'

Aries,
Yep, he seems to be a manager that is very adept to using tactics to suit the playing staff and finances available to him.
It has to be said that JP deserves a lot of credit because he is made out to be a ruthless and autocratic but he is actually showing that he just wants the best for the Albion and in his and my book that is premier league football and financial stability.
Happy new year to all you baggies fans and let's raise a toast to a new and successful era.
C O Y B !

So you were happy to watch the dross served up by Mr Negative Irvine ?

[Bournemouth Baggie]

None of us were Beefy, hence the concern that we get the Pulis of Stoke (10 years total ) not Pulis of Palace (6 months)

[Zinman]

No I wasn't happy with Irvine but what makes anyone think it'll be different with Pulis? Do people actually remember the series of bore fests against Stoke? And as for his time at Palace, yes there were some decent games but on a different site there are some interesting facts about his brief spell -worse possession and successful pass rate than before his arrival and a higher percentage of "long passes" than in his last year's at Stoke. He was also lucky to inherit a squad that enabled Palace to break with pace........So long hoof up to big Vic it is then.

No I was not happy with some of the football under Irvine, I was bored watching us against Arsenal for 75 minutes, but that does not mean I want Pulis.
