As clueless and boring as Osman was, we did beat Liverpool, Lumsden gave us Jacki and Fawthrop took us to Wembley. Pulis did nothing other than set the club back god knows how long. As unfortunate as I am to have witnessed/watched both it’s fair to say Osman worked wonders (highest placed finish since 1st years at the time) with no money whatsoever. Boring football but in comparison to Pulis who must of blown 2-3m at the time in charge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vaughan Jones anyone? Ian Alexander? Ian Alexander never played in the same team as Pulis....I remember probably my fave game ever...Dec 10th 1983...FA Cup second round...Gas 1 City 2 - I was there in the away end, and my sister taped the radio commentary for me...when I played it back, Pulis was the co commentator and he called Rovers ‘we’ all the way through...totally understandable....but why the hell did we appoint him as manager when Joe Royle, David Moyes and Peter Taylor also wanted the job?! Unbelievable.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swede Posted April 13, 2018 Report Share Posted April 13, 2018 I'm afraid Osman's team reflected his character. I think its unfair to compare the two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IIRC next game was Bmuff away, we played some of the youngsters and attacked, and won 3-2 having tried to spend the season defending against the likes of Cambridge and pumping long balls from Lavin to Tango man. Two from Super Scott Murray, one which he hit with his left peg from outside the box and nestled top bins. What I do remember the most from that day though, was a chant about Pulis to the tune of Pink Floyds ‘The wall’ We don’t need no Tony Pulis Keep the Ball down on the ground He has done f**k all for the City And he’ll take the Pompey down. ...hey Pulis you ain’t done f**k all! All in all you’re just another p**ck out the door Every time that bloody song comes on the radio I’m singing it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is a defensive coach though, and his draw stats are I think the highest of all coaches, it certainly was with us, and I suffered many a dull 0-0 too. Currently he highest win ratio is.... Middlesborough Wotsup Mr C don't you like facts that might belie your biased notions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

22A Posted April 14, 2018 Report Share Posted April 14, 2018 On 13/04/2018 at 12:23, Mr Popodopolous said: I remember his reign well- people were very happy when Portsmouth poached him! Would add to that OP, showed little interest in playing the youth either. Some notes I made at the time. I believe the dates are correct. In July 1999, Tony Pulis was appointed manager. He had led Gillingham to the playoff final only two months before, but had then been sacked for “Gross Misconduct”. Despite that, for some inexplicable reason, City still had to pay compensation to Gillingham. Can anyone explain why please? Early in the year 2000, during a goal less draw with Cardiff, towards the end of the first half, the Cardiff ‘keeper punched out a cross which Tistimetanu immediately kicked past him into the goal. The “goal” was disallowed for offside, Tinnion protested and was sent off! The referee was Mr Dean from the Wirral who had given several surprising decisions against City in games during the previous season. Five days later Pulis resigned and became manager of Portsmouth. The following day City won 3-2 at Bournemouth whilst Portsmouth lost by the same score at home to Wolves, whose equaliser was scored by Tony Branch who Pulis had tried to sign for City and the winner came from Akinbiyi who Pulis had sold to Wolves only four months before. The following week City were home to leaders Wigan. When City’s players took the field they were seen to be smiling and relaxed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we should have official annual 'Celebrate Making Pulis History' day on OTIB!! Sure we'd get some West Brom fans over for a visit!!!

When he was manager here and he used to wear a blue polo shirt, blue shorts and a blue baseball cap he looked like a retired American army officer on a golfing holiday. Tosser.

Joe hicks Posted April 14, 2018 Report Share Posted April 14, 2018 It was then board member John Lacock who chased after Pulis I worked for John lackock at one time, played charity football matches against his other company. He always played on the opposition side, and always in Rovers kit. Think he was once on Rovers books, knew Pulis from their Rovers connection. Scot Davidson was chairman, and had Moyes lined up, unfortunately Pulis got the vote from the other board members Pulis didn't get on with Davidson, hence never signed a contract. Had Lacock been chairman, pulis would have been manager for the. foreseeable.....! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
