Just been reading this old news article on the BBC website.
Please read the third comment down from Alan, Croydon, England.
How true is that statement even though it's 11 years ago. How is Pulis going to change when he 100% genuinely does not know how to? This could have been written by anyone of us on here today!!

When Pulis was at Bristol City (where I am a season ticket-holder), he brought in a load of middle-aged injury-prone journeymen and one thug. He appeared to completely ignore the youth set-up/young players.
When he arrived - he spoke of promotion. Within a few weeks, he said it would take at least six months to turn the team around. After a few more months he said it would be at least a year.
During his tenure I have never seen such dull un-entertaining dross. Although we were difficult to beat we couldn't score either (possibly to do with our formation which was 8-0-2). I remember a spate of 0-0 draws at home just before he left.
He might be cheap now - just don't give him an excuse to sue you. Stoke City fans will soon get to know of the twin mantras of Pulisism: "Haaaaaard work" and "Triffic lads".
