Delighted with this when no doubt they are on a "Super Sunday" with zero shots on target against the likes of Burnley/Watford who unsurprising also came for a point. 0-0 90 minutes of superb Pulis ball. Best league in the world. Look no further than a few weeks ago 0-0 against Boro at home; that too was on "super Sunday" one of the worst games I have ever seen.

I know being frugal isn't fashionable in football, but everybody else got £100m too. There's no comparative advantage in receiving the same amount of money as everybody else, no matter how large the sum is. And they don't have to look too far down the road to find an example of a team that spent £50m, largely on shite, some of it from them, and got themselves relegated in the process do they. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillaChris Posted October 29, 2016 Share Posted October 29, 2016 Pulis will never change. Why should he? He was a lower league manager for years, gets a team promoted to the premier league and manages to get them staying there so he gets good money, good profile in the media and premier league jobs on tap. If WBA sacked him tomorrow he'd probably pop up at Sunderland before the month is out. Managers rarely change in their 50s...can anybody think of a British manager who completely changed their playing style midway through their management reign...only one I can think of is Ian Holloway who played long ball at Leicester and Plymouth, took a year out of the game and then got Blackpool playing some really good stuff for a couple of seasons especially when they were in the prem. Most stick to what they know. It's what keeps the money rolling in after all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not every club in the World got £100m. There's certainly no advantage if you barely improve the squad, either. Also how many clubs spend big and get relegated compared to how many clubs spend big and don't? Spending is the way to succeed, that's football.

rodders0223 Posted November 28, 2016 Share Posted November 28, 2016 (edited) Quote West Bromwich Albion manager Tony Pulis has lost a £3.7m High Court battle with former club Crystal Palace. A Premier League Managers' Arbitration Tribunal ruled earlier this year that Pulis should pay £3.7m damages to the club in a dispute about the way he left at the start of the 2014-15 season. Crystal Palace claimed Pulis, 56, deceived them into paying a £2m bonus, something he denied. Pulis challenged the order in the High Court but a judge ruled against him. Details of the case have emerged in a written ruling published by Sir Michael Burton on Monday. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-birmingham-38136496 What a horrible excuse for a man. Cretin. EDIT : Apparently the £2m bonus he received from Palace he has to pay back in full, despite a large proportion going towards HMRC. That along with damages make this a very pleasing outcome.

Technically it may not be but for the sake of this argument It may as well be And for what Newcastle may have over us in terms of attendances, we more than make up for in silverware.

When it suits them...I think their ground is right on the border, think the ends being called smethwick and Birmingham doesn't help (it's the brummie road end) its not the other 2 brum clubs that we need to worry about, we leak fans like a sieve up the m6 and tbf we don't sing songs about being better than Newcastle every week Edited November 29, 2016 by villa4europe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
