Never! I've put up with Wenger for the past 5 years no one could have done a worse job.

2 months later
Pulis sacked.
I wouldn't make too much of it though, they do this every decade. In twelve months they'll take him back in exchange for the promise to turn more people into Isengard orcs.
Noice. They should go for rene girard
I think they'll go for Graeme Souness. He ticks all the same boxes as Pulis: Loves ugly football, can't handle money, is his own grandfather, shows a remarkable lack of judgment, thinks of other people as one big inconvenience...
Rafa Benitez expressed interest...

With Pulis gone that leaves fat Sam as the longest serving EPL manager after Wenger at only two years, incredible.
It will be interesting to see if any other Premier League team takes Pulis after all the bad rep he's got during his time at Stoke.
If some other manager had achieved similar results with a different playing style, he'd definitely have a future in the Premier League. Fat Sam has always been in demand, in here, but that is because of his proven expertise in keeping lowly teams in the league, but, Pulis hasn't really proven it in more than one place.
Also, with the influx of successful smaller teams playing attractive football, it might be very long before Pulis finds a suitor. The best bet, imo, is if the Stoke team with a lot of Pulis players still there is struggling in relegation spots.

Read somewhere that Mourinho is leaving Real as the longest serving manager in La Liga. It is mental, if true!
Pellegrini has been at Malaga the same amount of time.

Would be good for us to have a friendly British club to send our fringe players to on loan without fear of them being damaged. Manu have had this advantage for years with all those ex-players becoming managers.

Probably leaving Banfield as our assistant manager. If that happens, we can just hope that he and AW have learned how to play a defence in these last few months.

Said that to my mate and he corrected me/ us - it's Pardew. But still, that's a(nother) barmy stat.
Maybe they could take Psycho, give England a chance to have someone decent handling the U21s.

You're right, forgot all about him, understandably.
I don't understand how Pardew hasn't been sacked. His team massively under performed. His transfer policy has been erratic as well. To go from 5th to relegation fodder is some achievement.
Injuries is his excuse.
Anyone seen Pulis leaving statement yet? He called us a certain team from North London
