Manager Tony Pulis has left Stoke City by mutual consent following talks
with chairman Peter Coates on Tuesday.
Pulis’s future has been in doubt for some time and he has been told the
club feels the time is right for him to leave after seven years in charge.
Probably the right time for Pulis to go if you look at where Stoke
finished in the Premier League over the last five seasons, he appears to have
taken them as far as they can go.
However I don’t think he’ll be missed, by those who don’t have an allegiance
to Stoke City, because of his style of football which was stuck in a time warp.
Also I read something that surprised me when it was first broke that he
was leaving, Stoke’s net spend over the last five years was close to £80m, putting
them third behind Manchester City and Chelsea during that period.
With that kind of outlay perhaps you could argue Stoke should be in the
top 10 or maybe challenging for a European place.
