I was perhaps the first fan to question TP's abilities and I was slated. I hate to say "I told you so" but sod it I will: "I TOLD YOU SO". Salute PC for manning up and taking decisive action. I am over the moon he is gone. I hope the Club can now start to forensically remove all traces of his presence at the Brit by showing the door to his hangers-on in the backrooms. Then the new manager can address the dross in the playing staff. It needs a clean start doesn't it? It will be difficult to unload any of the current players you know! Look at where the few players who managed to get fixed up have fared: Davis has struggled at basement div Bradford; Higgo and Relaps couldn't get into the teams at Barnsley and Sheff U; Soroful got booted out of Sheff U AND Preston; Soares has disapeared without trace; likewise Lorro/Sonks/ADFaye/Olo. And look at the players whose careers have nose-dived after being under Pulis: Beats/Kits/Nzos/Adam to name but four. Ryno Un-Shaw-crossed-off has seen his chance to be an England international come and go in the blink of an eyelid.
Mods, please make sure that this is for real. I for one have genuinely missed Plastico and his/its idiot in arms Covfox. Are they the same person though?? Whatever, welcome home El Superbo
ONB, Not heard from him since we moved over to not606, i wonder if he's been inside, it coudn't have been for stupidity else we wouldn't have a government. Must have been 2 years for impersonating a Stoke fan!!
Yes indeedy - but you have to admit that he was and hopefully will be terrific.entertainment value. Well he made me laugh anyway.
I'd say it probably is our old Plastico, or someone with a good memory, not heard from this fool in years!
You know what mate, i can't remember, i didn't find 606 until late and wasn't on the board for long before 606 went, i rarely said much but i remember covfox and plastico, seems ages ago.
Couple of seasons? Covfox was hilarious, he still seemed to think that he could somehow lord it over us with Leicester thirty places below us in the league. Plastico was always too busy counting the burnt out light bulbs in the Brit to hold a meaningful conversation. I love how he still insisted everything about Stoke was rubbish (while pretending to be a supported) as we climbed from mid-table obscurity in the championship to an FA Cup final and European campaign. There were some hilariously pathetic WUMs on 606!
I particularly like the fact that he's using Seyi Olofinjana and Abdoulaye Faye as sticks to beat Pulis with. They are two of the most ridiculous choices for completely different reasons. Olofinjana only played 19 times for us, before being sold on for the same as we bought him for. He's probably one of Pulis' better bits of business in that respect. Faye is a club legend, and I don't think it's an overstatement to call him a Stoke City great. He was absolutely instrumental in getting us to the Prem and keeping us there, and was a great partner and mentor to the young Ryan Shawcross in central defence. And since leaving us, he's been promoted to the Premiership in back-to-back seasons with two different clubs. At the age of 35. What a trooper!
You guys are refering to the wrong Faye, I was talking about the other dude. Not surprised you have forgotten him, unfortunately he is still a nightmare memory for me! Now Pules has gone I'll apply for a season ticket. Anyone know where there is a good-positioned seat to sit in? Dont mind who I sit alongside provided they dont mind me giving CONSTRUCTIVE criticism IF needed!
Need PC to carry on with the purge dont we? Playing staff needs massive overhaul. Blanko-bonce must be on top of all fans list to go, plus all Pules signing this season. I recall him saying a few months back that this was the strongest squad of players he has had ever!!!!!! Sums the guy up doesn't it? If anyone disagrees then simple test is to watch where any of his players end up, none of them will get fixed up with over prem clubs will they? His treatment of Mikey Owen was an expensive joke. In short Pules couldn't handle him could he. He was the first megastar he had under his wing, I understand it came down to mind games. Not good that you know!
Will ask Potts when he returns. I am sure he will be absolutly thrilled to be sitting next to you. I cannot tell you how much I have missed you - so I won't
