Forget Pulis now

[crodonilson]

Don't waste your money betting on Pulis for the job. No chance he would come here under our structure, he's a manager not a head coach and would not accept someone else calling the shots on transfers.

My suspicion is we're looking for a top coach to work within our structure. If we hadn't had our fingers burned with Sammy Lee he may have been a candidate, other outside shots may be Steve Wigley and Glenn Roeder, perhaps even Southgate if we could tempt him from his England project.

I don't even want Pulis and have to agree

 

[Munchkin]

Who says we are keeping the structure ?

Who says we are keeping the structure ?

I don't see any reason they would change it. The structure is in place for a reason and that hasn't changed

 

[Icy Gull]

Pulis didn't like a bit of meddling from the hierarchy at Palace, or the budget so what planet are you on if you think he'd even consider coming here. I doubt he'd bother attending an interview.

 

[nicko31]

Pulis is a great manager but not right for us, and we're not right for him.

 

[Lifelong Supporter]

Pullis needs to change or else he will remain out of work.

 

[Max Paper]

Pulis wouldn't come here in a million years! He's got a premier league job lined up the second a struggling side pulls the trigger.

 

[Leekbrookgull]

Glenn Roeder is an interesting call.

 

[Seasidesage]

Pullis? Why would we want him? Long ball hoof merchant who flies in the face of everything we have set up in the last few years...

 

[Guinness Boy]

I've changed that for you

I can think of a whole load of reasons - starting with, it is as much to blame as Sami for this season's foul-up.

100% not

 

[wellquickwoody]

Glenn Roeder.

Pffffftttt!!!!! You were doing OK till then!

Agreed. But I think the recruitment structure will deter more than just Pulis. I think this is behind all the managerial problems, departures and acquisitions.

Give the manager full accountability for results, a clear budget with Bloom having final say with players by signing the cheques (or not) and the recruitment structure following the managers lead.

Keep the structure as it is, and I think the short list will be very short (length & quality) with our growing reputation of confused recruitment.

 

[Eeyore]

I find it hard to believe that Reading would not have made enquiries after Pullis. If he didn't go there, I can't see him choosing here.

 

[AnotherArch]

We only need Pulis for 6 months.

 

[S'hampton Seagull]

We only need Pulis for 6 months.

Whoever gets the job we don't want to be changing manager again in the summer.

 

[El Sid]

Pay Pulis whatever it takes to keep us in the Championship.
Renegotiate in the summer. If he wants to stay on, that's fine. If not we move on.
It's all about survival. The cost of relegation would be far greater than the cost of hiring Pulis.
