Wallace Posted April 20, 2014 Share Posted April 20, 2014 I would be amazed if Ashley appointed Pulis. It would mean abandoning everything they have put into place so far. Pulis is too confrontational and would not accept players foisted on him nor the kind that we have been buying (and Pulis' own buying record is not great and he spent loads of money on average players at Stoke). I cannot imagine him to be willing to constantly praise Ashley in public and of course, he would want far too much money. The main thing in his favour is his record of never having had a team relegated which would fit the bill if that is all Ashley wants but other than getting a team organised, he does not have a record of developing young players and selling them on for a profit.

bowlingcrofty Posted April 20, 2014 Share Posted April 20, 2014 Congrats to Alan Pardew, yesterday we managed to become only the 92nd league club to make it to double figures for goals scored in 2014. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ikon Posted April 20, 2014 Share Posted April 20, 2014 Don't want fucking Pulis! He's not what this club should be looking for even though he does quite well with lesser teams aiming to stay in and around the middle of the table. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Klaus Posted April 20, 2014 Share Posted April 20, 2014 the very thought of Pulis man. Would have been unthinkable a few years ago, but the way we are heading, is a distinct possibility. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JH Posted April 20, 2014 Share Posted April 20, 2014 Pulis has done a tremendous job at Palace, but he'd be so the wrong manager for NUFC. He should stay where he is. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted April 20, 2014 Share Posted April 20, 2014 Figures like that for clubs like Stoke & Sunderland get distorted though compared to established Premier League clubs. First they have to spend a big chunk just to try and stay up because they don't have many Premier League players, they don't have that many salable assets just to try and maintain their place, then another load just to try and stay clear of the bottom 6.

Anyway you slice it though it's a hell of a lot if money to just "survive". They have to though. They have to pay over the odds for players to make them go there. It's not like us where our name and reputation can attract players. Do you think people like Cabaye & Ben Arfa for example, would have contemplated them over us for £9m combined? Not a chance, so they have to pay over the odds to attract people. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 20, 2014 Share Posted April 20, 2014 Stoke have made just £16.5m in transfer fees since coming up. We made more than that in January. Goes back to my point that they have no salable assets. I know you could hold Pulis accountable for that, but like I said, they've had to have pretty much 3 waves of transfers just to stand still in the Premier League. They've only spent over £8m three times, a lot of their signings are for £3m-5m just to give them a squad that's able to compete. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They've bought players to keep them safe. They spend approx £20m a season. What does Pulis do? Spend that budget on 1 or 2 top players and ignore the squad? Apart from Jones & Palacios for £8m each, they get what they pay for in general. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Varadi Posted April 20, 2014 Share Posted April 20, 2014 Pardew = Pulis. Would be no upgrade at all, and with no promise even of improved football it would be such a pointless appointment. Can see it happening. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can dress it up anyway you like but it's a lot of money for no return. Other teams stay safe on way less. How many sustain it? Man Utd Man City Arsenal Chelsea Liverpool Everton Spurs Aston Villa Fulham Sunderland I maybe wrong but they're the only teams who have been in the Premier League for longer than Stoke at the minute. One or two of those last three may drop from that list this season too, while the third one aren't much cop themselves. The first 7 speak for themselves, but Villa have a bigger net spend, Sunderland's is similar. Fulham are the exception. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
