Just wondering if anyone has heard what he's up to or where he is? Has he been linked with any jobs? Is he on an extended break in the States? I know he has a few bob stashed away but you'd have thought he was a bit too young to put his feet up. Not that I'm missing him  |

To be honest I can not see him getting a job above league 1 due to his "style".
Good luck to him though wherever he ends up.

Maybe a team that is in the shit at Xmas will take him on but the chairman will know that he will not be a popular choice with the fans.
He would be a sound fitness and defensive coach though for someone but his is stubborn so can not imagine him working under someone else.

He maintained Stoke in the Premiership pretty consistently, I'm sure he will do just fine in the future

I think he would be a good appointment for most championship teams - he played the loan market very well with us when we were there and got us up.

I could see him at Blackburn or wolves.

I can't see any of the bigger teams dipping a toe but if a team were struggling and had given the manager the bullet then they may be tempted as he's "never been relegated".

It's a strange one when you think about it. A manager who got a struggling championship side in to the Premier League, kept them there and had a few very decent cup runs and a stint in Europe into the bargain would normally be expected to have his pick of jobs in the championship and lower half of the prem, and might even have a chance at a top 8 team.
It's obvious that the reason this is not the case with Pulis is the perception of the style of football that he employed over his time at Stoke and the media portrayal of it.
In a world where style matters as much as substance his stock doesn't seem to be very high at all.

This is why I say he will struggle to get a job in the top 2 divisions. |

I think the reality in modern day football which is completely controlled by money is this:
David Moyes starts this season as manager of Manchester United. If Sam Allardyce was manager of Arsenal, Martin O'Neill manager of Manchester City and Tony Pulis manager of Chelsea, those clubs would be in the top four positions by the end of the season.
Would the PL season be just as exciting, yes.
Would it be as competitive, yes.
Would the attendances be as high, yes.
Football ia about money and the type of players money allows you to buy. Whether it is a passing game, long ball, short ball, hoof ball, Pulisball or whatever other name you care to use, the top sides are the rich sides.

Heard he's biding his time and waiting to see what develops in the prem. Wouldn't be suprised to see him back in the prem after xmas if a club runs into difficulties. My money is on Cardiff.

Geoff, Pulis HAS been amongst the top spenders, so it's not just a case of how much, but also how well the moneys spent and the tactics employed.

Sandbanks, Wychwood Park (probably for sale), Florida, Spain and somewhere else It's true. He has five houses. He lives in one, leaves three of them empty, decaying and deteriorating in value, and he puts the fifth one on the wing. |

Paddypotter,
With respect that argument is flawed. Stoke cannot afford the transfer fees of the top players, they cannot afford the wages of the top players and they would have a problem anyway in players recognising them as a club who could win honours.
What is stopping Stoke going out and trying to buy two £20 million pound players?
Check out on the internet the average value of players bought by the top clubs.
Regarding tactics, I see it this way. Stoke play Liverpool for instance. On paper Liverpool may well have better players in ten or even eleven positions. If you try and outplay Liverpool by playing passing football everything points to a defeat. Stoke have to stop Liverpool playing by being stronger, fitter and more competitive, that's the best chance of getting a result.

So Geoff, why when the "park the bus" tactics that TP so regularly employed at the top clubs - were shown time and time and time again to fail - why did he persist in using them? Remind me how points we have picked up since promotion at Man U, Man C, Arsenal and Chelsea? Here's a clue - it less than ONE point in total I believe. We may not have been able to out-football the top clubs, but we at least should have had a go at playing football against them. It couldn't have been worse could it? |
