Drip, drip, drip.
That can't be the sound of Pulis dripping poison, since that turned out to be a weird fantasy in the minds of some, but is instead the sound of the apparebtly unceasing anti-Pulis rhetoric.

He spent 100M on turning us into the lowest scoring team in England with an ageing squad that had a resale value of a fifth of what he paid for it. Crowds were dropping from full houses to struggling to sell out for the big teams at 3pm on a Saturday. We now are virtually selling out against teams like Leicester at home. He spent that over how many seasons? How much has he earned the club by getting us to and keeping us in the Prem? As for the dropping crowds, the fickel mard arse wankers fucked off when the going got tough and have crept back with the sniff of good times. They will soon fuckoff again if the going gets tough and good fuckin riddance to them. So explain why he was sacked and why the current manager is now bearing the burden of his outlandish spending, having to survive on 5M a season? Explain to me how and why Mark Hughes took the previous manager's squad, added 5M worth of players and had it playing better, more attacking football an got us to our record points haul and highest Premier League finish...all within 9 months of him arriving at the club?

I thought his comment today about his grandkids death and then followed by "i let things happen that i shouldn't have done" was very interesting.Surely on about Cartwright?

He's been sacked three times because of his transfer policy. You'd think he'd learn.

Perhaps the new players need a bit more time, rather than 4 games. Ten years of zero expectation despite spend 10's of millions, now we're expecting scintillating football after 10 minutes.

Let's round it off at 85M.

Are you still celebrating Birmingham City's 4th goal against us in the Cup? Here's another question. Why did you disappear at the back end of last season and re-appeared now we've lost a few?

Secondly I didn't disappear at the backend of last season at all, my account was deleted because of other reasons that has little to do with anyone else. As you may not be aware I actually started a thread praising both Hughes and Arnie and apologising for making me eat my words and that was a long time before that account was deleted. Now had you have said Michael Tonge was on 500K a week I'd have gone with it that £100,000,000 was blown.

Stafford,
You should be aware that Stoke City FC reported a loss of £32M. Peter Coates has put in £27M to help balance the books. The money the club got from Sky was not used in the transfer market. Hughes is still trying to unload some of those 'fringe' players.
Please also note that we are the lowest spenders in the transfer market this close season with a net spend of £1.5 million.
So do not live in the past, try and move on! This is 2014 and the season finishes next May when we as Stoke supporters trust will be in mid table!

I am just answering some of the shit on here. How some tossers like to abuse the best manager this club has ever had is beyond me. He is a stand up bloke who has done more for this club and area than most on here would ever think about doing. He still works tirelessly to support the Donna Louise even though he has no ties to them anymore. He is giving his time and effort to row from London bridge to Paris to raise money for a charity that god forbid any of our children may need and tossers on here still choose to abuse him. Bemoaning his management skills us one thing but abusing him as a bloke is something completely different. 1 Tony Pulis is worth 100 of some if the twats on here!

Who's denying what he did for charity or the decency of the bloke away from football? Some of the 'tossers' on here financially supported this club when it was on the bones of it's arse in the third division, roughly the same time a certain Tony Pulis turned this club down in favour of Bristol City.

I have great respect for Tony Pulis and all that he has done for Stoke City. A tremendous ambassador for the club and community. His charity work puts other managers and players of other clubs to shame.
I joined back in the 70's Stoke City Lifeline paying £8.66 a month. When I was 14/15 I sent a cheque for £50 to the club to help them, at the time it was all my savings. Tony Pulis came to this club when we were likely to be relegated to Division 3 and somehow only Tony kept us up! I will never forget him. What I did not want, was for him to be spending money the club did not have.
That is all from me so have a good week and I will look forward to 3 points being won at QPR.
PS do not let all on here get to you!
All I am saying is that we must move on. Mark Hughes deserves your support. best wishes

Plenty of us who think TP is a fine person and great club man were also here during the darkest of days. The question remains as to why the hell anyone with the good of Stoke City at their heart can dislike or criticise the man ?? It makes no sense whatsoever.
