Allegedly he was never offered another managerial role when he was Stoke manager.
After seeing the obvious in the fact that he had taken us as far as he could, would another Premier league side really offer him a job and risk being slated unmercifully like we did through the media?
No disrespect to Tone but unfortunately the media and "experts" alike have severely blotted his CV regardless of the good job he did for us.
Championship would probably be a lot more likely for him, maybe a mid to lower placed side.

Lets see what the glory hunting twatters will do then.
Support whoever wins the European Cup and spend a fortune walking about in a over priced foreign football top looking a bigger cunt than normal ?

Whatever TP does in the future, it looks pretty obvious that some posters are scared stiff that he might be successful with another PL club. How would they explain that?

Probably by avoiding or ignoring any questions that don't suit their argument or agenda TWD

I'd imagine his previous record of papers down the shorts would put a few chairmen off as well.

You know he will not get a premiership job Geoff and even if he did do well I for one would not want him back here whatever shit we were in. Could not stomach anymore Pulisball

Im all for hughsey no holds barred. But if i ever see Tone in the street i'll shake his hand and wish him well. And if he gets the opportunity to grace the Brit in different colours nothing less than a standing ovation is warranted

Pretty much every high profile unemployed manager gets linked with vacant jobs....except Pulis. The longer he's out of football the harder it will be for him to get back in. He's as good as retired I reckon

I thought he'd have been ideal for the Dingles, but no yam yam I know seemed to want him.

He has interested one of the most ambitious clubs in the Championship this summer, but prefers a break with his family for a while.

If he had taken control of us when we were languishing in the 3rd division (League 1 in new money), we would still have been the biggest club he was ever likely to manage.
We are the biggest club on his CV and will remain so until he retires.

When he took us over Bristol City were a similar sized club and Pompey were bigger. We are the biggest club on his cv because he grew us in to that.

Well, that would require a definition of "successful": Keeping a team in a division by whatever turgid and dross performances can be mustered - TP qualifies. Keeping a team in a division by developing the squad and footballing quality and performances - TP wouldn't qualify. So, if these were to apply - TP would either, not be successful, or never likely to deliver. In which case, no Stokie would be scared [or even stiff]!

Portsmouth could have been the biggest club on his cv, Pulis played a big part in making us the biggest club he has managed and probably ever will manage.

Portsmouth have never been a big club. They had a period in the sun courtesy of Redknapp and Manderic but prior to that had never played top flight football.
In terms of club size, Pompey are nowhere near as big as us in any measure (crowds, history, league levels).
Of all the clubs he has managed, if each club realised their full potential, Stoke City would be the biggest of all the clubs he's managed by quite some distance. Moving forward, he won't get a club as big as us, be it in potential or current stature

Portsmouth have won the title twice and the FA Cup twice. Our history honours wise is one of chronic underachievement. Which is why I always found the enmity towards Pulis (a very successful manager in Stoke City terms) perplexing

Post by davejohnno1 on Jul 19, 2013 10:38:15 GMT
They still aren't as big a club as ours MoMo and never have been.
When did they win league titles? 1800's?
We may have a history of underachievement, but potentially, we have always been recognised as a club punching well below its level until our Pulis/Coates inspired return
It is all pointless discussion anyway so I don't know why I'm wasting my time on it.
We can talk about Pulis when he returns to football at some point.
