According to the BBC sports news even some of the WBA players were joining in the anti-Pulis chants !

If i was a WBA fan i'd be asking those lazy cnuts why they've basically downed tools and tell them to fook off out of the club.

Over rated manager. People say he has never been relegated but when he was sacked by Stoke, they had the third biggest biggest net spend in 5 years, only behind us and Chelsea and he never managed a top half finish

Or a passing sequence beyond 3 touches of the ball!
 
He definitely had a bee in his bonnet about the playoff final. I know we have had the beating of his teams since then (except for a long throw in stoke team a few years back if memory serves me well) but I really did not like playing any of his sides. It just felt like we couldn’t win because he would always blame any defeat on the money thing and never the quality of city (except for the recent fixture funnily enough - he probably was past caring at that point though) and there was always the risk that he could pull one over us and subject us to sanctimonious post match interview.

I for one hope that is the last we see of him

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.

I have been thinking for a bit about this recently and in my humble opinion I think the solution is slightly more radical.

The big problem is the increased differential between the top two divisions. If you are not in that top 6 relegation is your only concern, what that means is every weekend at the most you have 6 decent games worth watching out of 10, but it can be as little as 3. Add into that mix the pragmatic approach of PEG and that number could be as low as 2 out of 10 and is usually 3 on an average week.

If you drastically reduce the said difference so that dropping down a division becomes more of a sporting setback rather than a financial disaster (ok parachute payments do help for one season but clearly not enough and that only serves to make a joke of the championship) then the number of good PL matches each game week would increase to 7, 8 maybe 9 out of ten.

My solution is a Premier League 2. TV money is spread more fairly (not evenly obviously!) between the top two divisions. A much better portion of PL 1 games will be worth watching, foreign tv money and investment would increase EVEN more, there will be less Pulis/Moyes/Big Sam type British Managers and more Pep/Klopp/Ancelotti type (British ones hopefully will be developed), more British players will get a chance to develop against good teams, the England team will get better. Also our second tier will have better games and TV figures. It would be a win-win situation, the only downside will be the effect on our third tier and our European counterparts and to be totally honest I could live with that (particularly the latter!)

So you reduce the league to how many teams? Think problem is it will never get voted for but 5 down 5 up might just get pushed through.
