Big Vince 318 Posted December 27, 2017 So there we have it! Wynnie has missed the boat again. Middlesbrough have snapped up the boy Pulis.Boro are in exactly the same position as Norwich last season, but instead of waiting another 3 months (when it is too late) to sack the boy Monk they have done it now to give themselves the best chance of getting back to the EPL at the first attempt. And they have brought in the boy who is one of the best operators in domestic football. Why is it that our competitors look to bring in the best in the business to get the job done whereas we seem to think there is some advantage to be gained by taking this contrarian approach by going for untried and untested rookie managers? After all, no one wants Ryan Giggs do they? But we always seem to go for this type.Is it that Allardyce, Bruce, Pulis, Warnock would just be too big in personality for Wynnie? Socialists like easily controllable types. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Big Vince 318 Posted December 27, 2017 Let''s not forget too that the boy Rowett was available all the time when Neil was failing last season, yet Wynnie made no move. Anyone seen where Derby are now??? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JF 694 Posted December 27, 2017 That’s a major coup for Boro, like or loath him and his ‘style’, to get a manager with his pedigree to drop down to the Championship shows intent. From his point of view I’d have thought a PL team would have soon been knocking. It will be interesting to see how it works out as I’m sure most people would agree that Pulis plus cash in this league is likely to get promoted. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Trevor Hockey's Beard 526 Posted December 27, 2017 Hmm.Big Vince - Binner or Troll.... Ah, both.Good luck to Middlesborough, but for me Pulis has one of those faces which asks to be slapped. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cornish sam 944 Posted December 27, 2017 To be fair, boro aren''t in exactly the same situation as we were, same place maybe, but they have thrown a lot of money at players with a new manager and pulled the trigger after 4 months, we had a manager who had got us promoted and was running with roughly the same team wed cone come down with... Also, as someone else has said, we wouldn''t be willing to pay as much as pulis demands. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Feedthewolf 4,844 Posted December 27, 2017 F**k dinosaurs like Tony Pulis. His football is disgusting, and even though it gets results I wouldn''t want him anywhere near the club.And even if we did appoint Pulis, I''m sure people would still be castigating D&M for having dispensed with their plan so soon. If Farke does run out of rope, we need to appoint another manager with a desire to play football on the deck. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

City 2nd 191 Posted December 28, 2017 And wasn’t Monk dedicated to Boro. Sacked because he cancelled his pre match press conference! And why couldn’t he do the press conference? Shame for him that Gibson found out - he was talking to Swansea about returning there!So if Monk had been as dedicated as he states, Pulis would still be looking!!

It''s called putting the club before individual interest. Of course this would have to come with a health warning that the new owner may or may not live up to expectations.

In addition we will have to pay the expensive wages (and national insurance contributions) of players like Naismith, Jarvis etc next season then it is highly likely we will be selling one if not two players to fund the above and Pritchard may be one of them.Enjoy the downsizing!
