Would be very disappointed. If we did survive this season, he would be just the man to get us well and truly relegated next season. Fortunately it's thevoid so it's definitely bollocks! The fact that a Pulis-felching muppet like your good self doesn't believe me is inconsequential. Believe what you what to believe.

I think there are only two managers in the Premiership who could do better than Tony Pulis, Alex Ferguson and David Moyes. Regarding unemployed managers, perhaps you should ask yourselves why they are without a job.

I'm not convinced that should we stay up Pulis will go anyway. Please convince me otherwise

It's a shame people like you actually believe what he says and have been brainwashed by him 'managing our expectations'.

jstoke7, I don't listen to Tony Pulis that much, but I observe what he has achieved. Regarding expectations, perhaps you should look at some facts. Look at the latest information I could find on wage bills. Man. City, about four times higher than Stoke. Chelsea, Man. U, Arsenal, about three times higher. Liverpool and Tottenham, about twice higher. Villa, QPR and Newcastle higher. Sunderland and Everton higher.
Every manager has his faults and every manager has periods of under performance. You have been in an F.A. Cup Final and in Europe and outplayed, at home, some of the best Premier league teams. Would it be unfair to say that some fans are not only ungrateful, but worse still don't know when they are well off.

This source of mine doesn't do bullshit or false rumour-mongering. Apparently, RDM has already agreed to become Stoke gaffer in the Summer. I don't post rumours for the sake of it. The odds in some quarters have been slashed from 66/1 to 6/1 in some quarters on Di Matteo next Stoke boss. Don't trust him to keep us up at all! What did he do at WBA? Not good enough with average players! Holloway is my choice if Tony is to go!

I hate myself for pedantry of this order, but I don't think Ferguson has ever been out of a job. He got sacked from St Mirren (the only time he's been sacked), but from what I remember he went straight to Aberdeen. Agree with your general point, though

Regarding unemployed managers, perhaps you should ask yourselves why they are without a job. His record in the last 2 years is quite phenomenal. I'm sure that only Fergie or Moyes could do better than taking a good team in 2011 and making them an appalling one in 2013. Fergie from the Black Eyed Peas would struggle to do much worse than Pulis since the turn of the year.

Pulis was unemployed for 2 years 2000/2002 after being sacked from Portsmouth after 10 months in charge.

Regarding unemployed managers, perhaps you should ask yourselves why they are without a job. Because there are more half decent managers than half decent clubs so somebody has to sit out. Plus other Chairman are less lenient than St Peter. Didn't RDM get the elbow from WBA because he only had one win in 10 games? TP must be pissing himself laughing!?! RDM has played with and has now managed better players than TP ever will. Plus his birthday is the day after mine so he must be fucking mint RDM IN!!

The only reason I'd want Di Matteo is because he isn't Tony Pulis. If Pulis is to go, I would hope for someone better than him in all honesty. His job at Chelsea was an absolute fluke courtesy of him sitting back and letting the players rule the roost. I wouldn't have any real faith in him myself which might not necessarily be a bad thing I agree with this. I've never been too sure of where the RDM love in comes from to be honest. Did a normal job with West Brom, getting them promoted after another yo-yo before getting relieved of his duties after a semi decent season (although finished by winning just 1 in 10). Then at Chelsea he always seemed to have a closer relationship with his players than they had with him (a bit like TP and Redknapp). Great achievement in finishing off the Champions League, and those two performances against Barca away and Munich remind me of beating Spurs 1-0 at White Heart Lane. Incidentally, Jeremy Peace said of RDM after he was sacked from West Brom: and guess what...they didnt get relegated! What on earth was all that about? Don't they know that changing your manager means automatic relegation?? Edit - 17th place when sacked, finished 11th

So what would happen under Robeto di Matteo? You might play more attractive football and finish a few places higher. Of course you might play more attractive football and get relegated. From the games I have seen on T.V, I have always found Stoke exciting to watch. That is one of the funniest posts I have ever read on this forum, who do you support mate?

Geoff, regarding the wages, what's that old saying about paying peanuts and getting monkeys?? And anyway who gives a fuck what the salaries are it's not our money. If PC/TP want to spunk a load of cash on players wages so what? I just want them to look like they're going to score a couple of goals from open play in say.... a calendar month!! If we were really competing with Chelsea, Man Ure, Arsenal, Liverpool and Tottenham etc, etc, whilst paying out a lot less every week then it would be an achievement but we're not, so it isn't!! Also, when can we officially stop using the FA Cup Final as an excuse for the piss poor football we've seen since? 5 years? 10 years? 15 years? AND we lost by the way! I wouldn't mind if we'd done a Wimbledon and won the bastard thing but are we supposed to kiss TP's arse for ever for never looking like winning in a month of Sundays. Yes the 'journey' to Wembley was two good days out but I can get those at Joderell Bank and Foxfield beer and steam festival without having to thank someone for it for the next 2 years!
