You are indeed correct. To turn up for a match at half time says your time keeping is crap That's harsh Dave. I have my issues with the bloke but that night showed huge balls of steel. I lost my dad on the same day pulis lost his mum and I turned up at the game. I was there from kick off and wasn't paid 2m for doing so. Anyway the post in which I quoted makes no mention of the reason for his poor time keeping hence my tongue in cheek response. |

Pulis dealt very well with various forms of 'damaged goods' at this club (think Ric, Matty etc) and it was a significant feature of his time here that a large number of players played the best football of their careers whilst with us. Whatever way we try and dress it up the root of Berahino's problems at West Brom were originally of his own making (or those of his advisers) and it's hardly surprising that their fans were a bit peeved with his behaviour. The advantage for us is that we are his 'last chance saloon' as far as this country is concerned so if he wants a top flight career here he's got to knuckle down now and earn it. Pulis will do the right things by players if he has something to gain from it. That's the way he operates, I know this for a fact. I doubt he's alone in that regard amongst the managerial fraternity. Berahino's problems started before his arrival and he more than likely knew it was a matter of time before he went so he had nothing really to gain from putting any real effort into him. WBA have handled the whole saga very poorly and will end up costing them around £15million. No arguement that as a club they have handled it badly. My suggestion would be that that has been mainly driven by a certain Mr Peace who fancied himself as a hard nut negotiator par excellence. TP I think decided there was nowhere to go with this one a long time ago and would have happily been shot of him a couple of windows since. The player and his agent have undoubtedly though also had a major role to play in starting the whole saga off and as such I can really understand why WBA fans are not exactly weeping into their cornflakes this morning at his departure. |

Have you seen the shit the scum bags are putting all over his twitter, face book and even odem is getting shit for congratulating him, wtf there still not over him leaving, how long will they take to get over this. It's quite laughable tbh, never seen so much saltiness, if what they keep saying, you've been ripped off, good riddens, and what a deal WBA have done there, then why they so unhappy about it.
Scummy fans, Scummy people and to add worst accent there ever was and that's coming from some one with a stoke accent.

When he emerged at half time that night I applauded him all the way to the dug out. |

There is NO doubt that Pulis is a TWAT of the highest order. What ever anybody thinks of pulis , to turn up at half time of a match at halftime says something of the man and also his charity work for donna Louise is ok by me Not a one way street though. Pulis did very well with Stoke as well. It was a simbiotic relationship. To go from managing Plymouth to managing a team in Europe isn't all down to him. He was backed generously and received support from the majority of the fans. I am grateful for what he did for us. However he has moved on and so have we. |

We've got a proven Permiershit striker for around 3 million a season. Personally I think Saido will be sold on for a massive profit, before his contract is up, having fired us to an FA Cup win and Europe! This is exactly a signing we should be making to fit the model of buying players with a re-sale value. Shaq and Arnie threading through balls get's me excited! As Hughes has said he's the player we've been missing. Now get the fucking defence sorted!  |

There is NO doubt that Pulis is a TWAT of the highest order. I think you'll find that Pulis has more integrety than the player we have just signed. What was he supposed to do with a player who was refusing to play, get down on his knees and beg him. I am also pretty sure that he did try to play him after the anger of the WBA fans started to die down, but he had not kept himself fit and did not take his chance. Not sure how Pulis comes out as the bad guy in that saga. Whatever you think of his type of football, Pulis perhaps deserves a lot of credit for the position we find ourselves in now, not to mention our 1st ever successful european adventure and the 1st ever FA Cup final in our history. I think you will find that The TWAT of the highest order was Berahino in the whole ordeal. He sounds like he may have learnt from his mistakes, from listening to his interviews. Let us hope so, welcome him to the Brit and hope he does the business for us. However, if he ever refuses to play for us - then I would not want to see him in the sacred Stoke City colours ever again |

To be fair dave, pulis was actually in wales and got a helicopter back especially didn't he? I'm presuming your dad was more local? Apologies if i'm incorrect, but although i think the bloke is a prick it's a bit below the belt to not give him any credit for what he did that day. And when it's your parents dying, then your wages are 100% irrelevant, you still feel that loss as much whether you're on 15k a year or 2mill. Fair enough you turned up, went to work the next day, but you must appreciate that it isn't what the vast majority of people would do in those circumstances |

No in the dugout for some  Whatever was the cause of the problems on at least a couple of occasions Pulis threw Saido under the bus in a couple of interviews, absolutely piss poor man management, the smile on Berahanio's face was like that of a rescued hostage. |

My initial response was a tongue in cheek quip. The helicopter bit is rubbish as was the bit about him turning up at half time. He was there from the start but he didn't want to distract the players having arrived in the build up. When the performance was so bad, he went into the dressing room at half time and then went onto the bench for second half. When posting seriously, I said that I applauded him onto the pitch. |

Mate, I'm sorry for your loss, as I'm sure all posters are, but your post wasn't really in good taste. Read the original post that I quoted. It mentioned nothing about the death of pulis' mum. Nothing at all so my quip wasn't in bad taste at all. I've already acknowledged that despite thinking pulis was a grade A twat he did a good job for our club, that I applauded him to the dug out when he turned up at half time and that his charity work for donna Louise is to his eternal credit. Stick to wanking yourself off about a mama and Walters frontline you senile old fool! |

Not once has berahino refused to play for pulis. In pulis' first game in charge, he scored 4 goals to give them a cup win. |

He may have qualities but integrety? |

Pulis was a twat? Yes, probably. I think to be a successful premier league manager you need to be a twat to some degree. Otherwise you will get walked all over.
I continue to salute Pulis and all he did for this club, even though I accept he's probably a twat. He is a highly successful twat though.
And yes I'm glad he went when he did.
Hughes is probably also a twat, I certainly hope he is anyway.
As for turning up to work when your mother has died....people handle this in different ways, I would not dream of holding it against anyone no matter whether they went to work or not. You're not a bigger man for going in though, if you do. It's only if it's right for you, that's what matters.
