If you had 27,000 fans at the Brit. and Tony Pulis did a lap of honour he would receive a rapturous reception, you couldn't say that about many former managers in the PL.

That's possibly true mate because Pulis was a very successful Stoke manager. Despite that, many hated the football, his constant selection of out-of-form players and his approach to away fixtures. He split the fans alright but MOST appreciate that he was successful and would applaud him as a result.

Neither Pulis or Hughes has split the fans in any major way, there were no protests at matches when Pulis was in charge as there has been at Newcastle against Pardew. Division on this Board is a totally different thing and mainly banter. There are protests at Newcastle because the fans are (or possibly were) united against Pardew. It's possible there were no protests at Stoke against Pulis because we were split. The people you sit with, maybe even people in your family had different opinions on the man. It really wouldn't have been worth the hassle of sticking your head above the parapet in public.

He'd get a rapturous reception because of what he achieved. There's very little split in that respect. The split was over what we were watching. If he came back at half time for a game, I'd be applauding warmly. If he came back to manage us again, I doubt I'd be there.

You can certainly tell it's half term, the fucking kids on this thread! The Pulis Brigade are enjoying their ounce of flesh while the going is good. OS. 'Thinly disguised glee' Mick, as predicted a couple of weeks ago. Denied vehemently at the time

It's EXACTLY the same you've just swapped roles with the PHWs. You have become the very people you so detested during the Pulis regime. Petty, small minded, spiteful and brimming with unfettered joy after every defeat. Look at what you have become... You are no better than they were not so long ago.. ???? What utter shit! I am never happy after a loss. I really don't care a shit what you or anyone else thinks of me for having an opinion. I think hughes is shit, I think our football is shit and the sooner hughes is gone the better for me however I do not want us to lose just to help get rid. What sort of supporter would want that? Give your head a wobble. Do you actually read what you type before posting mate? You think the manager and the football is shit that got us to our best ever PL finish, highest points, more goals, better away record, 6th best home record, and want to go back to the filth served up prior to May 2013? Mind-boggling stuff mate.

Denied vehemently at the time I don't see people posting on here that they hope we lose under Hughes as happened under the previous manager. When we approach those levels of 'glee', then we will know we have hit rock bottom. Again.

I have faith in Hughes, what we really need is for Coates to open his fucking chequebook.

You might have noticed a little pocket of the last redoubt practically falling over themselves in excitement at our current patchy form. Small in number they me be but in fairness more than the singular example you are dining out on. I don't recall any bell end having a picture of the previous former manager on their signature line over a year after the event and compounding it with a call for the current managers head alongside the minute our highest Premier League finish standard slips. Fuck me, even the people who ended up yearning for the Pulis drudgery to cease supported him for a couple of years until his true colours turned them off!

I can't believe that people still have the stamina for this! I was almost going to bite to a few posts but just thought 'nah, I can't be arsed, it's nearly 18 months since this was relevant'. I guess the funny thing is that you've probably got about 10 people still willing to argue about this. Since this board has 15,000 members - let's call that 10,000 because of inactive accounts and opposition supporters - we can scale up that number of people to 28 in the Britannia Stadium on a match day who care even remotely about this.

It is all so pointless because perspectives are not going to change. I ,for example, can only see stunning hypocracy from those who used to, and still do, blame Pulis for everything and are so defensive about Hughes its quite pathetic. But it really doesnt matter anymore - appreciating Pulis and wishing the best to Hughes are not mutually exclusive.

I should think that for most people, any interest in rehashing the same arguments over Tony Pulis (they haven't become any more interesting over time) is all but gone. What weird thing inspires them to turn an innocuous thread on here into a massive reiteration of the same old rubbish? Just an observation, I suppose.

It's fairly certain the thread was aimed at a couple of posters and delilah knew what would follow.
There are thousands of fans on this Board backing Mark Hughes and yet we have had a massive overreaction from a few posters suggesting that there is some sort of conspiracy, we need to get it in proportion.

I love a good keyboard warrior me. You still here I thought you said you couldn't be arsed , please let go your messiah was sacked by his benefactor the reasons are blatantly obvious, now if possible could you refrain from making yourself appear to be a German helmet, Hughes has been chosen by the Coates family who own and pretty much bankroll this club we have to go with it, Pulis has gone he is the proverbial dead parrot as far as this club is concerned.
