West Brom - Pulis sacked (page 4)
- Thread starter jimharri
- Start date
It's a bit harsh to call Pulis a failure imo. He's good at keeping clubs up but that's his limit. There's a group of managers who excel at either getting clubs into the PL or keeping them there. Bruce, Warnock, Holloway will get you into the top flight while Pulis & Allardyce will keep you there. They're never going to finish in the top 6 but they're good enough to do a specific job. They guy who owns 3 mini-markets may run those stores very well but he probably ain't going to be able to run Tesco.
The problems start when owners want more than just survival. Once those first three named above have got you into the PL then you should sack them because they're unlikely to be able to keep you there.
I always remember Charlton sacking Curbishley because they thought they should be better than they were and look where they are now.
The other problem is the PL and the money available to even very mediocre teams. Teams should be given an incentive to finish as high as possible not to merely survive. At the moment the PL is paying out about £2. 5bn in prize money but only £2.5m extra per place finished. Make that £25m per place and teams might be encouraged to play football.
Nahh it’ll make them park the bus even more and hope to Knick it. Moaninho can spend 150m and all he thinks of is how to stop a team.
The should try and be a bit more radical Change the league so 5 teams go down then 5 go up that will make owners believe if they go down with there squad they should come straight back up plus newer teams coming up will spread the wealth of the premier money.
United pleaseWhy are people happy to see him go? Has he ever actually beat us? I hope he turns up at a club we've still got to play twice.
Effective at what? What is the point in him? You will probably stay in the league, but you will be bored to tears watching the shit he plays, while never even attempting to improve as a club. .Slightly harsh decision although the trajectory isn't good. Pulis never been relegated as a manager,you might not like him but he's effective. WBA better get this next move right or they'll go down.
This is the thing I don't get, what is the point of consistently staying in the premier league if it's neither entertaining nor trying to go anywhere? Yeah the board are happy as they can keep getting all the money, but what does that money actually get the fans? More boring shit to watch with no hope of it ever improving. I'd rather watch an entertaining midtable championship side really giving it a go than a Pulis premier league team. Staying in the Premier League just for the sake of staying in the Premier League is not an achievement in my book

Fuck me the rag twats must have beat the barcodes because some raggie has just come out of hiding.
Wonder where Falcao has been hibernating...maybe under his Family guy duvet whilst playing with his Beckham blow up doll.

Because it's the board that make the decisions, not the fans. You've answered your own question.
Ask Charlton fans that.
I'd imagine West Brom fans would have preferred the years of dipping in/out of the prem than the tripe club shop serves up.

If he takes the Welsh job, will he start moaning about the amount of money Germany and Italy spend on football?
Charlton's problems have all been about their owners and nothing to do with getting relegated. 3 teams get relegated every year, it's not the end of the world just so long as you are run properly. Besides, they got relegated after hiring Ian Dowie, not exactly a daring attempt to push on or play good football.Ask Charlton fans that.
