How much has Pulis spent this season?

With the transfer fees and loans combined I reckon it must be around £8 million.

Any manager who spends that amount of money on a team who only finished just outside the play offs last year, would be rightly expected to deliver promotion.

If Pulis fails to do this, then how much longer will Coates be prepared to fund a manager who wastes most of what he's given to spend, and then fails to utilise his players correctly because he has all the tactical nous of a dishcloth?

What is interesting is how Pulis has always use money as an excuse in the past when we weren't spending. Other clubs having bigger budgets etc

Yet now he is the one who has spent the biggest amount since the turn of the year, he doesn't say that now he has being given the cash we should be doing better

Reports from his previous clubs highlighted that Pulis is at home when he's scrabbling around in the bargain bins, picking up free transfers, but is useless when it comes to spending money wisely.

I honestly think that he's wasted a hell of a lot of money this season.

And how much money did he bring in in the sale of players he bought on the cheap?

He's not at ease with all this spending power and table-topping lark, is he?

He does seem to prefer it when his back's against the wall as a plucky little underdog.

Potters22... We don't gain much though do we if he then goes out and throws that same money down the shitter on players who are worse than the ones he's just sold.
