Tony Pulis in ?

That's not what he gets credit for...

But at least he has won some major trophies in his time, quite a few. Pulis has done fine but he's achieved nothing of note in his career. He's done well at Palace but it's a bit of a leap to think he could manage a top level club.

No he gets credit for getting 4th place a position noone cared about until money became the most important factor in football. The powers that be then decided that in order to make sure all big clubs were happy and not going to form their own league, they'd let 4 teams from one country into Europe's premier competition.

Yes he has but that was a long time ago now (almost a decade), Pulis has only had jobs at clubs who were realistically not going to fight for trophies, he's worked for clubs whose marker for success was promotion or staying in the PL and on that score he's delivered.

I'm not saying he should be our manager, but he gets the best out of the players at his disposal, something not many managers can do and also studies the opposition and sets up his teams tactics using this knowledge, two things we definitely need our next manager to be able to do as we lack these in abundance at the moment.

In a sense it's good to see Liverpool doing so well, it shows many of our fans what could be rather than accepting the clubs stance that we can't compete, Rodgers has done in 2 seasons what Wenger has been trying to do in the last 9.
