Very touching. Just goes to show that sometimes there are things below the surface that impact upon what goes on.
He really is a fantastic human being and a great football manager. Good luck to him.

Never shy to criticise his approach and selection you can never question his commitment or desire , and lest we forget this is a man who drove up from south Wales to turn a match around on the day of his mothers passing .
Deserves a great reception when he comes back not some of he rubbish spouted on here

Reading that, you'd think he holds the club in high regard and doesn't really bare any grudges against us. You might even think that he's a decent bloke who did a lot for the club and over the ten years he was here got a soft spot for us.
Happily, we have our resident experts who will (repeatedly) explain (at excruciating length) how he's actually dripping poison about our club into the press.

One of the wankstains set pillars is, 'I just don't like the bloke', 'he's not a nice man', 'he drips poison' I wonder what they'll be doing when he's rowing 300 miles for dying kids in Stoke...a place he used to work in! What will you be doing wankers, when Tones on the Ostrich again?

Such a shame that we haven't had a proper chance to thank him for the work he did at SCFC.
Perhaps the East Stand should be named after him.

You do realise that you are attributing comments to other people that you just exaggerated and embellished all by yourself (yet again)and you are then attempting to associate them with all of the people (myself included) who think that Tony Pulis' brand of football and football management is something that Stoke City is far, far better off without? The overwhelming majority of people who concluded that his boring and negative football and his increasingly financially stupid,dreadful transfer dealings should lead to him being shown the door have never personally made any comment about Pulis as a person (even though I have some personal contact/knowledge of him) on the basis of it is irrelevant to how I and most others consider his suitability/ability to manage the football club. I like to have a laugh about things with you but a post like the one I have quoted are, Im sorry to say far more shameful than the mud you are trying to sling and make stick to everyone who does not share you rose tinted view of Pulis the manager of Stoke City. I have no doubt you will be able to point to some individuals who have indicated the things you say but we both know you are trying to associate that attitude with all who think less of Pulis the football manager that you do. I really do object to that and you trying to make capital out of the bloke doing some charity work. The triumphant last sentence of the post is a pretty good indication of where you are in the lost the plot stakes over Pulis - as if last nights idiotic thread wasn't evidence enough. For Gods sake man, snap out of it!

Football aside (and we did play some shite....albeit Premier League shite) the man is as close to textbook hero figure as you could realistically get in footballing terms.
Villa at home after his Mums' funeral.
His work with Donna Louise Trust.
And this horrendous experience.
I get why people hated his football at times. And he could be a difficult bastard.
But could you really be a Stoke fan and truly hate him?
Really hate him???

But could you really be a Stoke fan and truly hate him? Really hate him??? Nobody hates him. It's a line that is wrongly peddled by the people that love him whenever he is questioned over his methods at Stoke, be it his tactics or transfer policy. Pulis has done more for the area than anyone on here, regardless of which side of the fence they sit on. It doesn't alter the stone cold fact that for as much as he took us forward, he was taking us backwards despite being heavily backed in the transfer market. One side of the argument can see both sides. One side can see one side. Personally i've asked a pertinent question on a number of threads asking why the bloke that supposedly loved him (Coates) sacked him and not one person has had the decency to answer, and have chosen to bypass it at all costs. The reason for that is simple. They don't want to answer it.

Go on then, I'm back on the wheel.
Pulis wasn't sacked he walked.
Coates sacks Pulis and questions get raised, so much much easier for folk to assume he was sacked.
You gotta love TP's comments in the press of 'I understand I was sacked' and not 'I understand WHY I was sacked'.
Now there you have it and now I'm off the wheel and staying off it on this subject.

Probably no more than 4 or 5 hard core haters. But then you have the easily led numpty brigade. Happy to jump on any bandwagon if it gives them a target to vent some spleen and give them some relief from their sad little lives. There's a fair few of them.

I would just like to say that when any manager offers up genuine reasons for failure in the most tragic of circumstances then we the fans should accept graciously his comments in the spirit they were made . I find the tone and manner of some comments on this thread pretty pathetic and truly childish on both sides of the fence.
I think in the interests of common decency and integrity we should say no more on this particular subject and the sooner it is removed the better before we collectively do anymore damage to the image of the club.
Personal tragedy should not be used as an excuse for tribal insults.

Dripping poison was a phrase many of the mindless hate filled fuckers (is that better than wankstains?) brought into the debate. They were wrong. Again. Probably what makes them so bile filled.

Does anyone hate him? I think its terrible that it has come to a point where some posters are accusing others of hating someone.
Pulis was great for Stoke & Stoke were great for him. People may not have liked his methods at times but its just about opinions. Everyone is entitled to an opinion, no opinion is right or wrong. That's why we discuss and debate things, do we always need to turn it into an argument?
I think if you ask any Stoke fan, they will havethe up most respect for what he did during his time here, not just for the club but for the community as well. Real sad news about what he & his family had to go through.
