A please.
If we bring in a pulis type or any manager and give him money to bring in his own players then that goes against one of the key things the club are trying to prevent,which is when pulis leaves or sacked we have players on the payroll that will not fit into the next managers style of play.

A bit too binary for me to make up my mind, sorry! Put me down as a don't know, but leaning towards A.

A, some of the players who would get a run out in the Championship would be superb. We could regularly break records for the youngest starting 11 as more youngsters are given their chance

Two scenarios, which would you rather?

A] Apply the footballing principles introduced under Potter, if it ended with us getting relegated this season?
This would be with a long term hope that we would come back up.

B] Sack Potter, go full Pulisball, recruit accordingly in January, with the guarantee of us staying up this season?
In this scenario, Potter’s replacement would stay into next season btw.



*Obvs These are extreme, theoretical scenarios and in real life the ideal would be Potter keeps us up playing nice football.

You seem to have missed option C where we sack Potter, sign a new Manager, he signs on all the journeymen that dug him out 5 years ago, pissing off the first team squad with the salaries they're on, ensuring the kids go off from the development squad go elsewhere for a better opportunity and we get relegated anyway :shrug:

Luckily, the club I support doesn't throw away the last 15 years investment like that :wink:

It's an A from me. I hope and believe our luck will turn and we will stay up, but wouldn't be too disheartened if we went down and had a season or two in The Championship playing attractive football.

A. Always. As I’ve said many times, Potter is coaching the team well and we have good stats in terms of creating / stopping chances. Hopefully he stays and we stay up. UTA.

Pulis is probably going to get Sheff Wed relegated to league 1. So I don't want his style of football.
