On the 15th June 06 when Mr Pulis became the manager, Stoke were in the lower half of the championship table due to alphabetical listing. PC had regained control of the club and stated his intention of returning Stoke to the top flight of English football. In fairness PC has invested heavily and completed this task. This didn’t come cheap, especially when TP spent £5mil between buys and loans, including £1.5mil wasted on 2 loan signings that he didn’t play. During this summer we saw over £20mil spent but I fear, come the third anniversary of his appointment we will find our progress as nil, back mid table in the championship alphabetical listed. Some will praise him for getting us promoted which was fine but his luck and his one tactic was never going to holdout in the premier league. The amount of money PC put in made promotion a good proposition. TP isn’t the messiah; he’s a lower league manager, with very little vision and even less bottle. He has people on here convinced we’ve no right to be in the premier league, for a small club like Stoke we should be happy just to be in it for one year. Is Phil Brown a good manager? A lot of you don’t think so according to this site, so let’s check the history of Hull, never in the Prem, yet Brown insists they’re there on merit. Taken from soccerbase which doesn’t include all, but evens out overall. Stoke 06/07 1mil 07/08 3.5mil 08/09 20.5mil Hull 06/07 1.4mil 07/08 1.45mil 08/09 6.4 mil Brown’s spent less than half of the amount TP has. I’m not saying Brown should be Stoke manager it’s to all those that say no one else in the world is as good as TP. With his limited management experience Brown has bettered TP by a country mile. Anyway, anyone who plays Perican’t yet alone pays him knows nothing about football.

FGS its one game with 7 changes. People need to get in the real world. Yes we should have had enough to win but isn't that what the cups about? We're just on the end of a bad result! We wont be the first and we wont be the last.

We wont be the first and we wont be the last. But its not one game is it, its week in and week out, one win in ten and yet another away game with no gaols scored and a defeat. Complete shite

I wouldnt agree with the crap signings, but he plays very bad football. Its either a big ball over the top or were screwed, thats it. And every time we lose pulis seems to blame it on the referee and never mentions how bad we actualy played. Hes starting to lose the plot....ever since we lost to Derby
