And rightly so. Wearing a brand new pair of white trainers for every game is a scandalous drain on the club's resources Image

Think it will be very important to get the right manager in Sheffield for this storied franchise, looking through their squad list I see that ..........wait I don't give a s**t about Sheffield Wednesday

Thank God those days are behind us for the foreseeable!

Pulilis’ day is gone, but Wednesday are currently not capable of being saved. Joke of an owner - need to serve their penance in the division 3 at least. Not sorry for them, always disliked them.

They’re going to struggle to get anyone capable of keeping them in the league now.

Giving Pulis a few quid in the window would probably have been a worthwhile gamble.

Ditto Ron, not my type of manager but he probably would have given them their best chance of staying up, plus they could have probably spent the couple of million compensation on a new player rather than into Pullis bank

Hopefully the days of the dinosaur are numbered :ok:

The game's better off without Pulis, Allardyce, Hodgson, Bruce, Harris, Warnock, etc, they just ruin football :evil:

none of them have ever moved on have they. I think they should all be confined to League 2

I would keep them away from football completely Rich.
It shows how outdated the FA are when they put Allardyce in charge of England, wtf. Southgate is no better.
This football was popularized with Harry Bassett and Graham Taylor, etc.
In League 2 my old local side Carlisle United are managed by Chris Beech, who although not young is making a fist of it and got them up near the top of that division. I'd rather give English coaches like him a chance than these ancient clowns.

Sounds like they already have someone lined up. Perhaps they didn't want to waste what transfer money they have on Pulis, when their new Messiah is kicking his heels waiting to start.

I guess being sacked as a football manager can be a massive financial gain !

Ironically my dear mum was born not far away from Carlisle so as kids we spent many happy times with my uncles, aunts & cousins away from Leeds during the school holidays. Mum & my older relatives are now buried in Shap, my four cousins are still with us who we stay with every two or three years. My Uncle Derrick was a staunch Carlisle supporter still watching them at Brunton Park when we were in League One, he was in the opposite terracing to me in the Leeds end even as a late 70yo bless him!

They are still paid a salary until their contract expires!

Wouldn't happen in civvy street, once sacked your managerial career is tarnished & your chances of another job of that status would be few & far between

I was actually born in Carlisle 64 :lol:
When they were in the old first Division I watched them lose 1-0 to Liverpool and was at the Leeds match when Leeds won 3-1 I think. As I remember there was no segregation at that match, coppers were more bothered about stopping fans sneaking in for free :lol:

I've watched Carlisle a fair bit over the years and the current set-up seems good. Peter Beardsley was at Carlisle before he went back to fame and fortune at Newcastle. Brilliant player.

I also used to watch Workington Reds, which was the closest non-league side to us, at one stage Bill Shankly managed them before his LFC days. Also saw Bobby Robson scouting at Workington when he was in charge of Newcastle, lovely fella RIP.

I still look out for Carlisle's results

I had a wonderful chat with Sir Bobby on a tube whilst travelling to game in London in the 90's

What a gentleman he was, a lovely fella :tup:

He would have bought 3 or 4 holding midfielders .

I think Bielsa is of the same ilk as Sir Bobby :tup:
I also bumped into Malcolm Allison when he was in charge at Boro, picking up his Sunday papers and ciggies from the newsagents beside Ayresome Park :)
