Maniche, it does my head in too! They criticise him unmercilously during a bad run, his team, his tactics, spent this, spent that etc etc yawn yawn . However, when it comes to the incredible success he's brought to our club, do these critics say brilliant TP, well done TP, that was brilliant TP...............................................erm no! When we win or something good happens,TP gets no credit at all. It's suddenly the players that are wonderful and nothing to do with TP. Personally I'd keep TP over a lot of our so called fans! In fact, unless you intend to get behind the team AND manager on Saturday and the rest of the season please just go away! Thank you! In TP I trust!!!! Sorry to bother you, but I couldn't help but notice you'd dropped these.  |

1974 for me, I seen much crapper teams and watched more inferior managers make more ridiculous decisions, but never, I repeat FUCKIN NEVER has a manager made me come close to me losing my love for Stoke City and football in general. Tony Pulis is a complete dinosaur, he stifles the game to death. I thank him for bringing top flight football back to The Potteries but he simply has to go.

The difference is that Pulis has been paid for his contribution. Whereas we've tried our best to support him and his dinosaur tactics, even paying money to see it. We all love him for getting us to where he has and I doubt anybody can deny that he is by far a legend at Stoke. Lately though, he's just gone off the rails a tad more than usual, and when he lashes out at the fans who just want to see a bit more change and less of the "same old shit" you know it's time for him to make his final bow before he ruins that love Stokies have for him. Sums it up for the majority of fans, I guess! |

Another thing that really does my head in is when people churn out the phrase 'In such and such we trust' usually means things are going wrong. The rest of your post is utter nonsense and the less said about the final sentence the better really  |

I actually think the OP has got it the wrong way round
Anyone who stands fully behind his recent tactics, approach and team selections simply doesn't go to matches
You have to be there to fully appreciate how bad things have become

After the 1966 world cup I wanted to see the England players "live" and the first I can remember was George Cohen at the Vic. I've supported the club ever since. I think Pulis is damaging the club and for that reason, irrespective of past achievements, he must go.

You do my head in. The bloke deserves to be cut more slack and deserves more tolerance. 5 season supporters most of you I bet. Try getting behind them on Saturday, it might actually help 1966 - SCFC 6 Aston Villa 1. Have you stopped to check before making silly comments? Many critics of Tone have also heavily praised him in the past. Problem is that our manager is single tracked and single paced - he has no plan B. He, sadly, is almost writing his own epitaph. I'd love it if he wised up, gave us even 50% the style (yes style) of the 2nd half of the Wembley season. If he did though, he'd have to pick a sensible team consistently ....  |

Try getting behind them on Saturday, it might actually help Stoke City and most of its supporters have already cut him more slack than any of his previous clubs during his managerial career. No other club isn't even getting close. |

I have supported stoke through the waddo years,the shite of the kamara,little,bates,ball years but nothing has pissed me off as much as the last 18months under pulis have. |

Not that we should feel the need to justify ourselves to a complete knob but I've been going since 1990 and apart from maybe under Brian little, this is as uninterested I've been in watching my team in those years. I came back from Newcastle on Sunday and I genuinely wasn't gutted on the 215 mile drive back to Birmingham. For me this is the worse thing Pulis has done to my club. Of course I'll continue to go and I've already got my season ticket for next year but its out of duty rather than because I want to.
I just want to be bothered again.
Pulis out.

October 1994, Kevin Keens second match, scored for us in a 1-1 draw v Wolves. Was brought up a Stoke fan by my Grandad who had more season tickets for stoke since he was a boy until the last year at the Vic when his health failed. From 1994-2009 i had season tickets, went to almost everygame, if you could look up on old boards you'd see i got caught up in some unfortunate fane behaviour during those times (i remeber my little brother of 7 and my gf at the time being trampled in a mini riot v Wolves in our first season back in the CHampionship). Losing 3-1 to Luton when they had only 3 shot on target at the Brit. Players totally mismanaged, inept management all the things stokies before me have seen 10 fold over me.
Do i want Pulis gone, no not really, id give my right leg for him to change his ways, but i know he wont so with a sad heart i now say Pulis Out. He's pushed me that far from Stoke City i wont go to matches anymore, does this make me a johnny come lately?
Im not one for all the glitz and glamour of the Premier League, i actually wish the top teams would do one and leave it a more level playing field for the rest, we have no chance of winning anything bar a lucky cup run (dont mean flukey, but for a team outside the top 4 or 5 to win luck needs to be a huge factor). So the only thing most fans outside of those clubs can ask for is entertainment. Are we getting any of these things?
Ask yourself this. In 20-30 even 40 years, if Stoke are back to being a championship/league 1 or 2 club, and when your grandkids or great grandkids ask what it was like during our time in the Premier, what would you like to say to them? Id love to say it was ok for the first few years, we were doing what needed to be done. Then we pushed on and went for the kill, didnt win them all, but the teams we played knew they'd had a close call.
Atm, its, we were good the first year or two. Then it was a case of make the other team either that bored theyd fall asleep, or frustrate them to the point theyd gift us a goal.

* We are the third highest spenders (net) in the Premier League, yet we are left short in a number of positions and are still left with an ageing squad
* For the second time in a row this year we will score the least amount of goals in the football league.
* The football for the last 18 months has lurched between barbaric and neanderthal. So, to go with this high expenditure and lack of goals, we are not even allowed to watch a game of football. Tony doesn't believe in that.
* He thinks supporters don't know anything about football because we are not professionals. I wonder if he has ever had an opinion about a film or an Album? He has? You mean you don't need to be a director to judge whether a film is shit or not? Does that apply to football do you think as well?
* No supporter engagement. Just a blind, incorrect version that he is right. He isn't, that's why we have won 1 in 23 games away from home and his "12th man" is turning on him.
* He plays his favourites, continually. Irrespective of form, or the form of those around them. He doesn't care. Should someone questions that his stock answer is that "we don't see what xxx does for the team" Again, we're idiots.
* He has taken the passion and commitment of many many long term supporters and replaced it with a matchday ambivalence. Going the match is my only real remaining connection with Stoke On Trent, and as of next season, for the first time since 1992 (1986 was my first game, sorry but i was only 10 and wasn't allowed before. I would have gone in the Waddington era but i wasn't alive) i will be attending games but not as a season ticket holder. You think blind loyalty makes you a better fan? fair play, but i watched a team of nobodies, free transfers and 30-something lower league journeymen a couple of weeks ago at Kidderminster Harriers and they played more football in 90 minutes than your capped fucking genius has managed in 2013. I would rather watch the team i loved all my life, but i absolutely, genuinely and completely don't want to anymore, i'm sorry if that doesn't fit with your idea of a great fan. It doesn't really sit in with mine, but it's what i have been reduced to.

Try getting behind them on Saturday, it might actually help Another person with their head well and truly in the sand and quite happy to shell out big money to go and watch what Pulis puts on week in and week out unless someone pays it for you. People have a right to say they arent happy with what's on offer with the hard earned money they pump into ticket sales. You can get behind the lads all you want, if the manager meddles with a winning formula for the worst then we, as fans, have a right to speak up, clearly you dont feel we do. Rimmer... You simply have no idea pal. |

Guys, you are all wrong. If you want Pulis out, you've only supported us for at most 5 years. The OP and a few other saviours think so.
You've obviously spent 5 years researching a game that happened around the time you were a kiddie (a proper one, not like a 27 year old kiddie) and used that to pretend you've supported Stoke all your life.
Fancy thinking that you know more about yourself than some random guy on a message board!!
