Exactly mate. This club will never amount to anything until we bring Pulis back. You surely can't be of the belief the best candidate for a head of recruitment job is a 27 year old with a degree? Pulis was proven to unearth bargains, time & time again Well for one, maybe Pulis doesn’t want an admin job? Could you imagine him in an office?! Pulis didn’t really ‘unearth’ anyone, unless his son counts that is. I certainly didn’t know anything about him before Stoke started giving him a weekly wage. This lad likely has a hunger for the game, given his early start around it, and has gained plaudits elsewhere. Pulis was a season away from either taking us down, or being responsible for a mass suicide.

Call them idiotic comments all you like, thats your opinion, mine is that hiring a 27 year old as a head of recruitment with no football background, no gravitas, no experience and expecting an allready novice infrastructure to be better because of this signing is small time thinking from small time thinkers. This lad will offer nothing but stats. If he's so good why has he left his home town club for Stoke, I reckon he has been told to find a new home. He's a London boy, you don't move to stoke from London for the fun of it, especially not your own town club Really? So no one in football has ever moved out of their home town? I've no idea whether this bloke is any good or not, I just picked up on your TP comments and pointed out that they total and utter horse wank. You can't have a good word said about him, herbert. pulis could do both DOF and head of recruitment and you know it. If you think this lad has come to stoke unpushed from his hometown club you're 'thick as mince'

I see that the 'I hope I'm proved wrong' addendum is getting quite the work out on this thread...
It looks like a lot of our fans are knee-jerk morons who are compelled to moan their fucking ballbags clean off about absolutely everything and anything such is their lack of pragmatism and inability to consider any issue in a measured way.
I hope I'm proved wrong however 😂

Even the bargains Pulis did get, Huth, Faye, Fuller and Whelan were not ‘unearthed’, implying that they were unknowns. Potentially there is a case for Shawcross, but even he had a season in the Belgian league prior and was seen as a good prospect.

Who cares, he made a massive difference, tp picked that player for stoke and avoided countless duds to make that particular inspired signing. It makes no odds where they come from, its wether they are successful or not, he identified that player and he was the bollocks.

That's OK, it's fine to move the goal posts. I agree, Pulis made some good signings. He also made some bad signings, pretty much like every manager on the planet.

It makes no odds where they come from, its wether they are successful or not, he identified that player and he was the bollocks. Like Wilson Palacios, Arismendi, Davies you mean? Or Soares and Tonge? I liked Pulis until the end of that FA cup run and thank him so much for getting to watch European football that included Stoke, but his football was atrocious when wingers were not playing well. He had two successful spells at Stoke, but his act dried up bu the end and we likely could have gone down the first season under Hughes if we’d have kept Pulis. He also made some very expensive (at the time) blunders in the market, as all managers do.

He was on a ridiculous scoring spree in the Championship, which is why we signed him for the second part of the season. N’Zonzi was not a great player under Pulis, took a long time for him to properly develop. At the time, he was no better than when he was at Blackburn. Hughes turned N’Zonzi into a player who Stoke fans gradually stopped hating.

Butter it up all you want, it's a small time appointment but that's what we expect now, and its acceptable.
Pulis is head & shoulders above the rest the best candidate for this football club as dof/head of recruitment. Im not accepting that a 27 year old stato knows better.

Christ on a bike.
Pulis made some good signings and made some shite signings.
The good ones were cheap, the expensive ones tended not to work out.
Something as a club we seem to excel at.
Why every you would want him for any role like this though is beyond me.

I want scholes to tell me why he was the stand out candidate.

I've never read a thread with as much drivel and knicker wetting as this one. No one has a clue about this guys credentials and how the club claim to select him above all the other candidates. It's impossible to say if he will do well in his job at this stage but to judge him without a day in the job is madness. He's Tony's new pet puppy, I think we all know that. Really beginning to think these in office have a complextion or are complete power/control freaks, they won't hire anybody proven/from a good position with a strong opinion. Managerial appointments since Pulis suggest it also. Millwall fans really arn't bothered, some even think Rowett has sussed him out and wants his own man in. Its not something a club of this stature should be doing, ever likely we are dropping like a stone, we are so small time With all due respect I don't think you have any idea why he's been selected and who has been involved in the decision making, the same of myself. The comment you have made regarding Rowett could be exactly the reason why we have appointed him as MON wants him in.
