Just heard it from an "expert" on R4, along with Pardew et al

Well, he would be better than Southgate or Pardew. If the media dicates we have to go British (funny how they blur the lines and are willing to accept Irish or Welsh but not 'real' Johnny Foreigner) then he'd be a good choice until someone better comes along.

We wouldn't have conceded the 2 goals last night if TP was in charge. Saying that, no thanks.

The only plus I'd give TP getting the job is Ryan would be getting a call up.

Ina comical way considering we are shite and with Pulis being a former Stoke manager it would be good to see how he'd go about an England Job and the players he'd select with a supposed embarrasment of riches, I rewckon Shawcross would get in though and at least we'd have a solid defence.
It's probably not as daft a suggestion as it sounds

He's already managing Iceland incognito, isn't he?

Would mark the final nail in watching England. I haven't found reason to support the national team since 2002ish, but I can at least tolerate watching the matches. Not so much with Dullis. Not suggesting for a second it'd ever happen like.

We could of done with him after the game yesterday. A few Beattie style head butts wouldn't of gone a miss on that shower of shite

To be honest, I wouldn't be surprised in the least if TP and his brand of football was to bring better success to the national team and being as we don't need to watch it week in week out, I could just about bare it, as long as got us further into a championship.

Is this the Pulis that has never finished in the top half of the Premiership?

We could of course make jokes about TP as a possible England manager, but with all those great players to choose between I think we could be in for a surprise. Nobody is able to organize a team defensively better and with the right attacking players I think this could be much better than most people believe. Hopefully that would also give Ryan his well deserved chance to show what he is able to.

The most promising set of creative players we've had for years and several flying full backs and some people are seriously advocating this.
Doomed.

Who are these promising creative players of whom you talk? Because I haven't seen any lately (please don't tell me Wilshire or Lallana)…There is a serious point here, that someone such as Pulis or Allardyce would at least pick a side and then play to its strengths ,we are nowhere near good enough to outplay sides with so called flair.

Pulis wasn't playing to our strengths by the end and he hates expectation, which he'd have to handle from the start. We have plenty of exciting young creative players and strikers who with the right guidance could at least start getting us back into the last eight.

Well it would be horrendous to watch but isn't it anyway !!?? He certainly wouldn't pick players due to club or reputation (so a defo no from the FA) but we sure as fuck wouldn't lose games to teams such as Iceland !!! It remains to be seen if we could win a tournament taking every game to penalties. That being said we have not tried that approach yet and won fuck all so maybe worth a go !

I wouldn't object tbh. Solid defence, solid formation and a couple of flair / pacey players to make the difference.
How he's finished in the Prem is immaterial. He's never had this kind of quality at his disposal.
Take Stoke in our early Prem seasons but with upgrades in all areas, particularly for Lawrence and Ethers, Mama and Fuller and I think we'd do well.
