We lose virtually every game. It would be impossible for any replacement to do worse.

There is something in this, has to be. Judging by the stuff on twitter there is nothing in this. The only credible sources are saying he won't be sacked. Sorry to disappoint |

I think we're at shit or bust stage now. Tone doesn't look capable of turning this round as it stands. I appreciate what you're saying, and maybe a new manager would give the players that boost that you sometimes see when a new manager comes in but that just seems a bit of a longshot to me right now with so few games to go; what managers are out there who would join us that could turn things around in such a short space of time. I still stand by that Pulis is the best manager to see us out of the situation we're in right now. Yes he's responsible for how we're playing at the moment, but he's also the bloke responsible for our form for the first half of the season. In January, then yes maybe I could see if people wanted to replace him if they were looking for a change of style so the new guy had half a chance of getting his own team together. But right now I just can't see changing managers doing any good; realistically who would come in? We've taken ONE POINT from the last six games, a new guy coming in now until the the end of the season would really struggle to do any worse over the final six games and he might, just might, do a little bit better. There isn't any signs, none whatsoever that Pulis can save us. We can't simply sleep walk over the edge of the cliff. There's a very real chance that we're going to go down and if we do, are we going to look back on this moment and remember that we didn't even (at least) TRY anything to prevent it? |

Who exactly would come in and keep us up if Pulis were to be sacked as everybody is so keen to get rid? An unknown foreign manager who can't speak English has come in and guided Southampton to safety and you think we couldn't find anybody? In fact we have a vastly experienced man already at the club who I would expect to get more points than Pulis from the remaining games |

A new manger could do even worse and I'm not sure who would come now anyway. The best option would be for Tone to wake the fuck up, play some footballers and set us up to attack. That is crazy talk though. Jamo,i totally disagree. having no manager in charge from now untill the end of the season would not get us any less points that TP will. Tone has had 2 seasons to "wake the fuck up" as you say,the truth is he is wide awake and despite what any advise he is given he chooses to ignore it.He claims not to have yes men around him,but ignores anything that others have to say.So they are pointless being there. TP knows himself that he has no idea how to turn it around or he would have done it sooner. |

I hope if he does go/has gone, that people remember his massive commitment to the area over his time, his tireless work for the Donna Louise. He will always be a special person to me.

I'd love for somebody to explain to me how changing managers now poses ANY sort of risk...
"But...but...what if we suddenly start losing, or the goals dry up..."
Get rid now, take a chance. If he goes and we then lose all 6 games, so be it - AT LEAST WE TRIED SOMETHING.

That is crazy talk though. I agree with what you're saying, we do need to go out and actually go for it. Thing is, under Pulis while we have always been direct, I wouldn't say we have always been negative. We are capable of giving it a go, and whether its a lack of confidence in the players or from Pulis or what I don't know but we're not doing it right now. We've got into a habit of not winning. With a bit of luck (I know I went very overboard on my thread) if we can scrape 3 points from somewhere, (deflected goal, backs to the wall, opposition has an off day, or whatever) then it will help the confidence and hopefully Pulis can see us over the line. This Villa side that beat us 3-1 today was not long ago the whipping boys of the premier league and seemed destined for relegation (a look at their GD shows some of the drubbings they've been on the wrong end of.) At the end of the season though maybe it is time for Pulis to go. I personally wouldn't be against him staying but I am (quite evidently) in the minority and if you lose the fans then maybe it is time to part ways. |

I said when Sunderland and Reading sacked their managers that the timing was all wrong and that if they wanted to have a manager to have an impact, they would have had to have made the decision earlier. I stand by that exact sentiment so far as Stoke are concerned.
This is his mess that he's made and it's up to him to get us out of it, or rather not drive us further into it. Let's face it, there's only so much that even Ferguson could do with a squad with no real right winger and an all round dearth of attacking options.
I feel quite, quite ill reading those disgusting Arsenal vermin reveling in this. If he does go in the summer then it must be done so with him crowned in glory and gratitude, so that those vile anti-football scummers don't have their day in the sun.

A new manager might uplift the team and we go on to win all our remaining games. He might lose all of them and get us relegated.Sacking Pulis now would be an act of desperation, as everyone is saying, they would try ANYTHING to try and prevent us going down. Thing is, this assumes that Pulis can't turn it around and so the only option is try and get a new manager or accept relegation. I think Pulis will turn it around and that we will grind out the results. Villa weren't exactly setting the world alight a month ago, they didn't sack Lambert, and their bad spell finally ended. What's to say we won't end our bad run of form. |
