Tony Pulis isn't dead (yet)

"don't know what you've got till it's gone" - would genuinely, on balance, be happy with Pulis going even if we go down.

Still true?

Still true?

I'm not sure. I hadn't considered the prospect of replacing him with Pardew, one of an extremely exclusive group of managers I dislike more and rate less than Pulis. Given the choice between the two I honestly probably would have stuck with Pulis, but I think we'd have gone down regardless. We were probably relegated by Pulis's awful recruitment policy in the summer, and it was just confirmed by waiting so late to get rid and replacing him with fucking Pardew.
