I do not go on other forums because all I care about is Stoke but I doubt if any others have the brilliantly humourous and footballingly informed regulars as our board I agree absolute classic post by Potts and I would be honoured to take over from TP for a month ( It is strange in life how most things go full circle so having played for Stoke youth 50 odd years ago I am now manager ) but in addition to to my sombrero I would have to wear my matadors cape to hide my secret weapon ( thats what the missus used to call it ) 1 First and foremost I would have Potts and co to entertain at half time so even if we were still brainwahed into TP's negative approach the crowd would P**s themselves at the Crazy Gangs brilliant humour 2 I would keep Pulis on but keep him locked in the shower ready to give the Ref a naked Glasgow kiss at half time if he was anti Stoke 3 I would sign Crouchy's missus as CF and give all the lads Spanish Fly before the game That way we would have an erect defence and forwards keen to mount either an attack or Mrs Crouch 4 I would bring Crooks out of retirement onto the bench so that if Ricardo was not fit we would have two subs ( Fuller **** ) for the price of one 5 A la Dallas and Bobby Ewing I would bring back the ghost of Harry Oscroft and pair him on the wing with Ratty Ratcliffe Thus two flying wingers but with the shortened pitch and their head down running they would end up on the Queensway before they realised they did not have the ball Must not reveal any more of my tactics for now and to be serious turning to Sunday I fear the worst As I said yesterday Bolton desparately need a win and must still be smartng from Wembley We are bound to try to defend in depth throughout when we are tired through being paid ???£K per week for playing twice within 3 days compared to the tennis cicuit where the top plavers can play every other day for several hours Anyway all that aside it is not easy being a manager as the fans always know better so despite all the criticsm of Pulis the Jury is still out until the end of the year or the January transfer window So I will keep my sombrero and cape with my replica shirt in the wardrobe for now SiS
