I imagine he had "words" with the owner.“ Performances and results haven’t been good enough , also other issues contributed to this situation “
Mmmm ....
They stopped paying wages in November so probably something to do with that...
Pulis coming in would've been an absolute disaster. You can talk of fitness which was lacking, to be fair, but we absolutely did not, and do not, have the players to play to his "style". We'll never know, but I believe we'd have had no chance going into the last day with him in charge.Pulis was on the radio last weekend saying that with playing 2 games a week since he became manager, had not given him the space and time to prepare the team to play he wanted.
He is better off out of a club that can't play the players wages, leading to low moral. That must have been really tough over Xmas.
I called for Pulis to replace Howe last January. I am sure we would have stayed up if we had, as when we resumed against Crystal Palace we were well off the pace. Pulis would have ensured the players were 100% fit when the enforced Spring break ended. Remember, under Howe we didn't apparently even have a warm-up game before the resumption. A poor decision.
I've never really got all the Pulis hate. Was a good player for us, and seems a very decent person. He is what he is as a manager, and has his way of doing things.
