Pulis is not perfect but he is better than all Stoke City managers since he has gone Wrong!....Results and performances were better under Hughes until the wheels fell off. I’ll let you off because you’re Egyptian and haven’t been a Stoke supporter very long 😀... Perhaps Hughes’s treatment of Sobhi has clouded your judgement? 😉

With Pulis I could always tell what he was trying to do this clown doesn’t have a clue and neither do any of watching
If he went 442, long ball and stuck Crouch and Afobe up top I could understand what he was trying achieve
That at Bolton was utter shite and no player seemed to know what he was doing

He used Ryan, Whelan and walters and made all 3 play better than they did under the previous regime.

Once Hughes dismantled the Pulis legacy all went to shit. The football in the last 2 or 3 years under Pulis was generally a load of boring shitty bollocks, don’t you remember?... Hughes came along and signed players like Arnautovic, Bojan, Afellay, Shaqiri and turned Stoke into a side that I actually enjoyed watching for three years. Having said that, I do enjoy reading the pro-Pulis, anti-Hughes tripe on this board, It makes me chuckle. Oh, I don’t forget the world famous three 9th places 😉

Is this the one where players were falling out, putting dead animal heads in lockers and smashing up each others cars, couldn't win a game of football and were basically turning into a shit show? Or another one?

Yeah that'll explain the signings of Bojan, Arnautovic and Shaq, and the football they were playing three years ago.

Pulis is not perfect but he is better than all Stoke City managers since he has gone Hughes was by far a better manager Was he though? Part of why Hughes did well was because he capitalised on Pulis' good defence, got more attacking players in and let the shackles off. He did better, 3 top 10s etc. But, the better manager? Not so sure. If 2 new teams were to be created tomorrow and both were in charge of each. Pulis' team would be higher come May.

A massive part of Hughes success was Steven Nzonzi. He made the football work. I dont buy this we were great to watch for three years. The last 18 months were awful and I solely blame the manager for the semi final defeat. He flogged the players to death over the Christmas period and they were absolutely knackered before the first leg. Secondly Liverpool were really struggling against crosses at the time and it was crying out for Crouch. Hughes has to take big responsibility for our current predicament and a board who dithered far too long over his sacking.

I agree, but I’d rather watch the football Hughes generally served up... But I don’t think any Potters fan can say Pulis & Hughes didn’t do a great job for SCFC for a period of time, but both went stale and needed replacing... It’s just a shame they were replaced by two useless lemons in Lambert & Rowett.

The worrying thing for me is that Pulis had no intention of trying to win 80% of his matches, whereas Rowett IS trying to win them Concerning The worrying thing for you is how stupid that statement makes you look.

...well, that was before they had seen Rowett's Stoke play! What a load of shit. Pulis played hoof ball. and it was effective to a point. Rowett does not play a long ball game. If anything, its patient Do you actually watch games or are you another premier league fan boy who has forgotten when we regularly visited teams like Shrewsbury, Grimsby, Bury etc? SGS
