Pulis Bigs Up Saints Academy (and Saints in general)

[Seany S]

Love him or loathe him, Pulis is very complimentary in this article from our terrible local newspaper. Worth reading the comments for a bizarre descent into discussion of the crisis in the former Soviet union.

Pulis is a very good manager, and he has shown at palace that he can change up his style, its the stoke faithful that bum the hoofball. He just did what worked with the players he had, he's change club, different resources and squad, and he has adapted accordingly. His stock is very good in my humble opinion.

He knows too much about our style of play. I prefer it when we catch teams cold. He will be prepared for the way we play. Anyway, hope we can still win out!

[100%Red&White]

Tbh, who doesn't know about our style of play these days - and how to beat it?

 

Not complaining, hope we stick with it, just need to add the quality to give the opposition a few more things to think about.

Pulis fines two players for diving, thats brilliant. More managers should have the balls to do it.

Get a grip.

If the Mods move all threads involving BS and GS to the MS, we can all say what we like!

Pulis has very much gone up in my estimation over this! Excellent stuff, someone in the game actually having balls to take action - and against his own players! Good man

Pulis is a top, top manager and bloody good guy. He's really gone up in my estimation after these postive comments on Saints

I think Pap should investigate. Turkish may have done something naughty.

Nearly became our manager before Nigel Pearson.

Held talks with Crouch despite being with Stoke City at the time.

His father-in-law is ex-Saint Bill Stroud

Anthony Pulis' contract with us was alleged to have something to do with his Dad's potential move to us I believe. All very speculative but would have made a degree of sense.

[KelvinsRightGlove]

I was a big detractor of his up until last summer.

 

Granted he got Stoke up, and did well to keep them there. But I really hated the way he assembled a group of overgrown thugs and kicked their way to promotion - I think I described him on here before as the ultimate sunday pub league manager.

 

I am warming to him, particularly in lieu of the job he is doing at Palace (who I have also always held an irrational dislike for, which is again thawing).

 

Still, he needs to ditch the f'ing hats.

If the magistrate is stupid enough to swallow that bull**** then you got to hand it to him. The magistrate should have told him to do what some mafia bosses do and hire a deaf chauffeur.

[Dark Munster]

If he keeps Palace up he should be awarded PL manager of the year.

 

Still haven't forgiven him for conning us into signing his talentless son, though.

His family are good friends of the Lallana's too!
