Nothing to do with opinions on his style of play and boring the arse off everybody... It's to do with his tremendous achievement at our Club. It's to do with giving him a thank you and respect for this achievement. There are loads of people (me included) who would like to pay this respect with a standing ovation on Saturday on his first return to the Club. As I have said... after 3 o'clock I hope his team and tactics get dismantled and we stuff the Baggies by a record score. What's the problem. It just seems odd that we didn't hear much from you about this 'magnificent achievement' at the time? And looking at that posting history there were no thanks and goodbye around the time Tony left either. Very strange.

Why who says he wasn't sacked? It was a theory banded around here at the time. Granted it was only Tazi and his merry band but it was being discussed none the less. H Let me help you here. The Pulis Witch Finder General did accept he was sacked but made up.......erm revealed that the deed was the direct result of treachery by the "men in suits", led by the evil that is the Chief Executive who forced St Peter against his will to sack Pulis by inventing stories of falling crowds, plummeting performances, disregard for club strategy and unsustainable recruitment policy. These evil men in suits, according to the Pulis Witch Finder General also plotted to stop The Deliverer of the Miracle of Promotion presenting to St Peter the revolutionary Italian/German Dossier that would by now have inevitably catapulted the club to even greater glory. Lets not tarnish Sheiky with allegations he never made, RAF.

This is how it is. TP will want to come here and turn us over. He will want to kick Coatesy in the bollocks and say 'You deserve that for sacking me'. He will be pissing his sides at the 'Forever Grateful' banners and cheers for his name because he doesn't give a fuck about us. He didn't care what we thought when he was our manager never mind now! He will enjoy seeing you miserable if we get beaten. Why? Because he is a ruthless cunt a feature that was so endearing to many at Stoke and a manager of not just one but two teams after us. So while you are spunking over his name with your 'Forever Gratefulness' he will be pissing his sides endeavouring to stick a knife into the chairman who made him the most financially backed Stoke manager in history and in truth paid him a kings ransom probably two years more than he should. So enjoy your Pulis Jizzfest, he definitely will do. A polite 5 second golfers clap from me and then getting right behind Mark Hughes and the lads. H Fucking bang on you wonderfully angry cunt. He won't even get a golfers clap from me for completely destroying my enjoyment of watching Stoke. I get what you mean about the enjoyment. But we might not be where we are now without what he did. It wasnt pretty and wasnt fun some days. Others were great days under TP ( beating the arse, fa cup final, europe) if it wasnt for TP then you probably wouldnt be watching the stoke city we are now. And im not a pulis fan. Im glad hes moved on and hughes is taking us higher. But surely must be a part of every stoke who appreciates what he helped us achieve.

I refer you to the (one of many) example of his decision to go against all advice and appoint a manager who in various opinion polls conducted at the time had the lowest popularity rating recorded. He has no track record of being swayed to or from a course of action by others. I have no doubt you can now provide me with conclusive evidence to prove that he on this occasion and circumstance he acted contrary to the habits of a lifetime?

...then sit back and choke on your pint as he's grinning like a Cheshire Cat on MOTD if he beats us. Professional football manager being pleased by beating club who sacked him? What has that got to with a small ripple of appreciative applause as he jogs to his seat? We'd all be sacked if we were about 2 years late delivering a report whilst driving customers away

Some fairly petty crap on this thread. Point scoring about who said what years ago? Negative TP quotes for effect? Giving each other derogatory nicknames?
He's not our manager anymore, hasn't been for a long time. This isn't the team he built. Grow up. If people want to give him a clap for getting the club where he did, so be it, then we get on with a game of football.
Christ on the proverbial bike.

He'll get a thunderous applause and rightly so. I don't personally give a fuck one way or the other what type of reception he gets. I'm too busy being happy that he will arrive and depart on the away team coach but it is fair to observe TP regularly got the reception he deserved and it was rarely thunderous applause.

Im glad hes moved on and hughes is taking us higher. But surely must be a part of every stoke who appreciates what he helped us achieve. For the first couple of seasons it was fine, it was a means to an end, but after that once it was made clear that we wouldn't exploit the foreign market, weren't going to change our tactics and the fact the academy was neglected like an unwanted child it became torture, plus the slap in the face to the fans with the team selection against Valencia was unforgivable, I believe the tide started to turn on him that day, it was a golden opportunity to actually get somewhere in Europe and he bottled it. I could go into detail about my dislike of Pulis but it's been done to death on numerous threads and my feelings expressed by numerous posters, but I will add before I'm lambasted about his charity work and the like, which is admirable, I'm referring to him in football terms, of which he was a pariah who completely drained my excitement on match days and the enjoyment of watching my beloved team play and I was thrilled when he departed, easily a season later than he should have done. I also don't buy the argument that we wouldn't be here without Pulis, it's one of those things we just don't know, I believe Coates was prepared to back our manager at that time to the hilt to get us in the Premiership in his lifetime, and the manager at the time just so happened to be Pulis. It's kind of like saying Messi wouldn't be the best player in the world if he wasn't at Barcelona, we just don't know. He left two years ago, has managed two different teams since us, and we've moved on leaps and bounds, I'm sick of hearing the blokes name.

You may remember back then that outside of the supporter base and local media, no one gave a flying fucking fuck about Stoke City. Coates Senior himself admitted that Jon Coates was the prime mover in identifying Hughes so I don't think its too much of a stretch to think he had a hand in the decision to remove Pulis, do you? Coates looked genuinely upset when it happened and described Pulis as 'a great friend'. Coates doesn't do anything he doesn't want to but its clear that certain people were briefing against Pulis in his final year and the relationship with Scholes was non existent in the end. Anyway the Coates family and Pulis remain friends and attended a Pulis family wedding together not long after he was sacked, proving once and for all that both parties have more class in their little fingers than some of the cunts on this thread!

To be honest I cant believe we are considering giving the guy a round of applause BEFORE we are playing his team.
FUCK THAT. We have 3 vital points that we need tomorrow, and we need to the make the Brittania as hostile as possible.
Its going to look doubly stupid when the stadium is quiet, the Stoke team dont turn up and West Brom walk away with a 1 nil victory.
By all means applaud the man AFTER the game has finished but I care about my club more than an ex-manager who made millions of pounds whilst he was WORKING at Stoke.
I say that as a big TP fan, but really come on.

The last thing I took to hold up at a football match was a pink panther in about 1986. I will give him a clap as he runs to his chair as I did at Palace, in recognition of some great times to be a Stoke fan and of a man still actively supporting charities in the area I live. What you and some other classless fuckers who support this club choose to do, is entirely your affair

So in effect, you are applauding his achievements at Crystal Palace and West Brom. Why on earth would you do that, especially after his comments after Palace's victory at Everton that he had a "different" squad of players than he had at Stoke, one that had pace and could play through the middle more (despite having years and huge amounts of cash to build one here).

What's with this standing ovation stuff tomorrow?
He did brilliantly first 3 years - way beyond our dreams. He got rewarded handsomely each year. In the last 2 years he queered his pitch - he blew it (Valencia, for me, was an unforgivable surrender and betrayal) and bored everyone witless - he still got his reward - and then he was sent on his way. In the 2 years since then he has been rightly recognised and applauded away from home twice.
Now, here we are TWO years on and this guy intends to try and put one over us. Fair enough, that's what he's paid for and give the guy a round of applause but there is no need to be sycophantic about it.
We then need to psychologically destroy him and his team.
