LucaAltieri Posted September 23, 2013 Share Posted September 23, 2013 I can't see how they could have fucked this up any more. - Bad appointment in the first place - Backed him to the hilt financially - Doesn't get on with the players, they back the players not the manager. The fallout being they've spent a chunk of money, players have lost morale, they're bottom of the league, they made no effort to turn it around and/or back Di Canio's "methods," and the players are now running the show. Doesn't get on with the players he bought , what a mental appoinment. But it makes perfect sense! He's intentionally provocative to get the players into the mindset that he wants. OF COURSE that's going to rub the players the wrong way initially. They have a shit load of adjusting to do, but they will adjust. Instead, as soon as they get some pushback they sack Di Canio. Didn't even give his style a chance to take hold and turn the shit around. Utter disaster. Terrible signing to begin with, and somehow, an even worse sacking. Completely clueless.

Yorkie Posted September 23, 2013 Share Posted September 23, 2013 Pulis plays a brand of football that is effective to the minimal degree. I dare say he'll keep them up but if he's the replacement, survival will be the ceiling of their potential. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashley17 Posted September 23, 2013 Share Posted September 23, 2013 What I never understood about Pulis is why he always ran off at full time. Where was he running? Fucking clown. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronaldo Posted September 23, 2013 Share Posted September 23, 2013 What I never understood about Pulis is why he always ran off at full time. Where was he running? Fucking clown. I just don't understand why he's always dressed like he's about to have a needless 2-hour discussion with the owner of a corner shop. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ketsbaia Posted September 23, 2013 Share Posted September 23, 2013 If it is Pulis - which I doubt - he molded a Stoke team that played to his strengths. Sunderland dont have these tall players. Itd be a delicious disaster. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

sempuki Posted September 23, 2013 Share Posted September 23, 2013 Pulis would probably keep them up but it wouldn't be pretty. First thing he would do would sign Jonathan Walters and as many knuckleheeded thugs as possible. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NG32 Posted September 23, 2013 Share Posted September 23, 2013 He wont have the players at Sunderland to his death football. He could always bring back Clattercunt and Bardsley back in the team. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dokko Posted September 23, 2013 Share Posted September 23, 2013 Whoever it is is going to need some major investment in the winter window and go on a spectacular run. There's a decent chance they could get to the middle of December and not hit double figures. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Si Posted September 23, 2013 Share Posted September 23, 2013 Tbf to Sunderland they tick a lot of the boxes Pulis will be used to: - Shit team - Check Shit hole - Check. Play in Red & white - check. They are perfect for each other. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scoreboard82 Posted September 23, 2013 Share Posted September 23, 2013 Good to see a bit of turmoil at any other club than ours and especially down the road.Despite this, i find it hard to take the p**s because i get the feeling potential managers would find that job attractive, where as if and when Pardew goes, no half decent boss in his right mind would touch the toon job with a barge pole unless very well paid.

midds Posted September 23, 2013 Share Posted September 23, 2013 I actually think Pulis and Sunderland are quite a good match. He would get them organised and the fans would respond to the graft and work-rate that he'd insist on. Wouldn't be pretty to watch but winning ugly is still winning at the end of the day. Actually hope they don't get him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

WarrenBartonCentrePartin Posted September 23, 2013 Share Posted September 23, 2013 Someone writing for Goal.com (I know, I know) reckons Di Matteo's been approached but has reservations about taking it. Caller to Total Sport tried to be ITK and reckons Pulis is on his way. I find myself laughing at both, regardless if they're true or not. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
