So basically what he's saying is, let another guy get the players in who I usually wouldn't go for myself, then I'll get them motivated and drilled to fuck.

Again where was the mess, we finished in a comfortable position. And I'm sure we would have done again under his leadership.You didn't like the football we know, but we were comfortable, more so than a few weeks ago this season. I'm willing to give Mark Hughes a chance whereas the usual suspects won't give TP credit , even though he has shown this season that he is a top manager.

Nearly as good as the work that LMH has done - in handling the mess that the previous manager left and getting us into 10th with decent football. What was this mess the previous manager left us with? Utter drivel. He made some mistakes in the transfer market who hasn't. Our biggest problem was the sudden demise of our wingers, not really his fault, he had to do with a cheaper alternative to what he wanted, in kightley. Well, if you can't recall the lack of balance in the team, the square pegs and round holes, and the favouritism - then you clearly have a memory malfunction.

Why can't some of you so called supporters, just give Pulis credit for what he has done for Stoke City and Crystal Palace? "So called supporters"? Wind your neck in.

We won 3 games after Christmas despite this being a season where we were capable of pushing on. We got progressively worse. That was down to him, just as the rise and good times were.

It started off an everton v palace thread. Palace take the lead and the usual have to start saying they wish he was still here! Unbelievable jeff. I will always support stoke before any person.

Many on here have supported the club through good times and bad, and that includes getting behind all the players that put on a Stoke City shirt, even if they have bad days, and the manager even if he has bad results.
Tony Pulis served Stoke well as a manager and delivered them good times, in my view although different views are what football is all about, the continual undermining of him as a person and manager by a few supporters is truly sad.

I said it was interesting as you just don't know what you're going get with us this season and it's great. Will we just get a result or turn it on like at villa. I think it's great and many others do too.

He said you were telling the truth, then said if you tell a lie often enough... etc Presumably he was referring to the lie he was repeating, even though he'd effectively admitted it was a lie immediately before repeating it. I think. I'm confused now

I don't think some on here are disproving of what he did here, just responding to initial calls on the thread of I wish he was still here.

LMH is doing a great job at SCFC
TP is doing a great job at Palace.
Consequently, all is well.

Tony Pulis was a fantastic manager for Stoke City in how he galvanised fans and the team in an us against the world ethos. And this is what drove the players and the fans on to successive seasons where we stayed up... However where his limitations come in are when the fans and players stop buying into this ethos (for whatever reasons, whether it be finances spent, ways he trains, ways he speaks in interviews whatever) his way of football becomes stale much like we did last season and it is then time for that club to move on...
He is a fantastic manager at keeping clubs up and stable.. he isn't however the next Alex bastard Ferguson, exactly the same as what happened with us will happen at Palace.
We have moved on, we are playing better football, and reaping the benefits with us actually looking at a top 10 finish, it will be very interesting how Palace now play now they're safe and do not have the need for being an us against everyone galvanised team, much like we did year in year out.
Mark Hughes is the way forward for us, Tony Pulis for now is the way forward for Palace.

I don't quite get why some want to see the back of Crouchy? He must be in the running for player of the season. Apologies, I wasn't alluding to the Crouch comment, but the previous bit.

We weren't comfortable this season til the end of March, but you are happy to give Mark Hughes credit. Because it's his first season and he's had no money to spend. It was Pulis' fifth and he'd spent loads and knew the squad inside out. The two situations weren't the same.
