I had this through by text yesterday and it seems to be doing the rounds-
"You can not idly sit by any longer, you can NOT support Pulis any longer. You know he has to go, step up and help make it happen. Stoke City FC needs YOU!"
Thoughts?

Come on. We have thrown so many points away this season through negative play. I actually got my hopes up around Boxing Day when we actually lined up right with players in correct positions and we kicked butt. For some reason he has had a wobble and returned to the rubbish we are playing and losing with now.

I'm seeing very little evidence of a long term plan being instigated by Pulis. Coates is obviously very concerned with the long term, hence the massive investment in the academy/training ground.
It's imperative we start to develop talent in house, unfortunately Pulis seems inherently against that. For that reason I wouldn't be bothered if he left tomorrow, proving he's replaced by the right man.

Hahaha. I support Stoke City. While he is here that includes TP and his players. I will be renewing my season ticket and those that choose not to, well it's their choice. Will they be missed? Well that is another debate. Kids sending text messages to each other is hardly going to get TP the sack is it? 3 weeks ago we were all on top of the world and now we are all on suicide watch. Trying to get people to support fickle bollox by text is sad at best. I think some need to grow up a bit.

Haha, fantastic. So they're going to do what? Protest? FFS! Thankfully only one man makes the decision on the continued employment of Tony Pulis, and that's Peter Coates.

It doesn't change the fact that with better tactics and courage we would probably be 10-12 points better off than we are now.

Yes but with growing dissatisfaction even PC cannot ignore it forever. The ideal option would be to address concerns now by having meet the manager, meet the chairman nights and the we can all move on together.

Just be careful what you do. Moan on here, send your boyfriend texts, but start any protest or anti Tone chant down the ground near me or probably many thousand others and you'll probably find yourselves hanging off the floodlights

Could we not do a Big Brother type text vote for a team selection? I'm sure we'd win more games!!

Yes he makes some strange/ bad decisions but we could be a lot worse off than we are. Have a gander on the newcastle board or any wolves board. Me, I am more than happy with our lot.

I agree , what do we do ? Sit on our hands and just accept this dross we are seeing or do we make our voices heard and either Pulis changes or goes? The problem is if he goes I can only see Gary Megson coming in. We seem to hit these patches every season and it is quite baffling. Pulis seems to make such strange decisions week in week out and his continuous comments about the opposition being better than us is hard to listen to all the time. I'm losing the faith and I am not alone.

If we didn't hit these patches we'd be top 6. All clubs have them. It will all sort itself out. Got to wait until after the window and at the end of the season first

Involving Flo in & around the first team would be a step in the right direction.

I think we need another assistant manager. Kemp is just a yes man. We were much better when we had Peter Reid who is much more attack minded.

That's incredibly cringeworthy. Painful to read, in fact. They're the sort of things that should be going around when you're about to drop into the Third Division and have flogged all your players for pennies.

Don't think too many on here give a shit about newcasle or wolves, we care about stoke and hate the shit we play when we know we can play alot better.

What a load of whingers - some supporters need to open their eyes ... without PC plus TP we'd be playing the likes of Oldham and Crewe. Thanks to both we can moan about 3 defeats in a row against poor opposition such as Manciti and Chelski.

Come fellas be careful. Ok, you might not want pulis, I aren't too keen on him or the negative tactics, but pulis is a pair of safe hands. At the moment he has vastly improved us. Think of the prem as a league with 3 minii leagues within it. The top 6 the middle 6 and the rest. This year we are in the middle six league by not really playing well. Coates knows that to break into the top six would take a massive amount of investment and this would have to be done every transfer window. Staying in the middle six actually makes him, and should make us, happy. A club that finishes 7th, it could be us, will only receive approx 750000 less than 6th. Now work out how much the investment would need to be to get that sixth place...just be happy and try and support the club, if we all went to work with same attitude about the management when ever they cock up, they do because they are human, we would all be on the dole! Nd breathe
