Some of you are embarrassing. 'I'd rather be relegated under Hughes than survive under Pulis' 'If Pulis came back I'd go support Arsenal' You're a disgrace. No matter whether you are for Pulis or against Pulis, you get behind the team through good, through bad, and through ugly. It doesn't matter who is in charge. The fan in you, should support Stoke City as a club no matter what. To those wishing relegation on the club, and turning your back on the club in times of need, hang your heads in shame. You're not real fans and the club does not need you. Well said. Too many with the mob mentality. And some of the comments about Pulis turning up after his mother's death are as low as I've seen on here.

Actually Pugsley, You need help. You're full of anger & bitterness that is simply beyond any rational. You have overstepped the mark in my opinion and you need to take a long hard look at yourself.

Coates doesn't want to be seen to bow to fan and media pressure, the critical issue is will the board have sufficient confidence in Hughes to sign 3 or 4 new key players in January, his recent track record would say not. It is a big gamble, to keep or sack, on current and recent form we are relegation bound. Apart from TP how many other managers (apart from MH himself) can find unloved star players. E.G TP until season end and he can then take the Wales job/

This power struggle at the club is fascinating. Any anti-Pulis factions must be wetting themselves. If he returns they know their positions will be untenable and they will be gone pretty soon. For them to be reacting in this manner is further evidence that serious thought is being given to bringing TP back. What power-struggle? What actions? Stop spamming this board with your shit.

TP takes a lot of flack, but the reality is that all the bottom half of the table play awful defensive football. The only exception being Bournemouth, who make up for it by being a bunch of cynical cheaters, to make up for it.

Been supporting Stoke since Sir Stan came back. Going back to Pulis is the easy way out IMHO. I do not want it, and if he does appear as Stoke manager again, I'm off, and I do not give a monkey's what anyone thinks!

It’s all jolly festive fun on here! If TP did come back then he’s going to have to perform the miracle of 07/08 in 2017/18. If he does come back he’ll get my full support. If he doesn’t, then at least we won’t have to wait so long for football highlights on a Saturday night next season!

Can't exactly remember the run in off top of me head that season. Didn't we draw with Chelsea, beat Newcastle (r), Villa {r}, Watford, Southampton?.. I won't look it up, no use being snobby about victories. I thought your point was that there was nothing to suggest things will change, especially given the resources at his disposal. I'm saying there's plenty of evidence, season on season that we've been in worse positions, with a lesser squad. And he's kept us up plus. I don't agree we've been in worse positions with a lesser squad. I don't think there is evidence to suggest that. We've never had the lack of cover in central midfield in recent times that we've got now. Full back options are worse than they've ever been in the Prem. We've been in far worse/lower positions at this stage. In the absence of N'Nonz yes midfield ain't so hot, but still better, or at least {considering make-do options Zouma, Afellay, Cameron, I'd put Ramadan in too} on a par with Van Ginkel, Whelan, Adam, Ireland, Sidwell etc. Far better full back/wing back potential than we've ever had, with the 'old guard' still here, bar Bards, not such a great miss. I do lament Muni's glass hams a bit. I wouldn't recall him to save us. Just getting a bit fed up of the foregone conclusion rhetoric mate. We look like a full on, disciplined display, maybe a scrappy goal, or coming back from behind to lift the mood. Done both this season, didn't seem to be able to do either much before. I'm keeping the faith unless I have to send him to Coventry.

Come On Pugs you’re better than that🙄 Better than what? I've been told personally by people who have worked directly for him he's a grade A shitehouse who only thinks of one person and one person only. Funny pugs, bit like your knowledge about mark Hughes going? More BS

Did we ever find out what was in TP's dossier or is it like the briefcase in Pulp Fiction? Perhaps the dossier is a metaphor for something much more abstract?

These exciting full back options equate to a past it right back, another who isn’t ready and a striker on one side, and one in a prolonged run of dreadful form and a child on the other. How’s that working out for us?

The place must be a den of intrigue, plots and counter plots. There's no evidence at all. Two journalists - Rob Dorsett and Jonathan Norcroft have both said there's no interest from the club in Pulis. Why don't you believe them?

I know for a fact I'm 1 million percent correct on what I said about what he thinks about other people.
