Got to be one of the biggest charlatans in football. Baffling how he keeps getting jobs. His QPR disaster would have finished off any other manager.
Ironic as fuck that Stoke got rid of Pulis so they could get this clown in to play more attractive football - he's probably the only manager with even dirtier, more gamesmanship-wielding teams than Pulis.
Southampton are doomed this season if they don't get rid soon.

There's a couple more spring to mind, marra. Pardew and Moyes, or is it just my immense dislike of Moyes, taints my views;)
 
He's an odd one for sure. He came in and worked miracles for three years at Stoke. He actually spent very little on transfers in his first few seasons - Erik Pieters 3M, Bojan 600k, Arnautovic 2.5M, Odemwingie swap for Kenwyne etc. He got the squad that Pulis almost relegated in his last season playing better football and to three 9th place finishes.

The problems started when the likes of Glenn Whelan and Jon Walters et al got too old and he had to replace them. He failed just like he did with his transfers at QPR and our core got weaker almost overnight with some absolutely dreadful signings, some of which we won't get our money back on.

Bought Kompany & Zabaletta at city for under 7million each.

If he's taking responsibility for those he also bought Robinho and Jo for absolutely insane money.

Only really QPR a blip on his record.

Done well at Blackburn, reasonable at wales, Done nothing wrong at city, good season at Fulham, poor QPR and good at Stoke.

He’s British though so must be shite :rolleyes:

Aye, great at Stoke last season getting them relegated. He got Blackburn mid table with the dirtiest team the league has seen around the same time Moyes was getting Everton into the champions league. Given the kitty he had at Man City he wad totally underacheived.
Factor in his team's only defining characteristic is their dirtiness too.

He didn’t relegate Stoke.
And you’re seriously comparing Everton with Blackburn!
