Default WBA Pulis capitulates: Spurs will beat us, we can't be AR*ed now we're safe
http://www.express.co.uk/sport/footb...Leicester-City

Pulis backs Spurs to win title and more or less admits his players can't be bothered to "play" now that WBA have achieved ambition ie are safe, avoided relegation, job done.

Feel sorry for paying travelling WBA fans. Bad enough they had to watch their toothless lazy uncompetitive team crumble against a North London team (verses a weak Arsenal), but to see this twice in one week is tragic. If lazy feckers can't be bothered to play Spurs in next game, why not throw in a hungry academy kid who wants to impress, into mix? Oh that's right Pulis really can't be ar*ed to make changes now season is effectively over , that requires *work*. Plus he needs to keep playing Berahino so that some mug (Spurs) buy him.

He can't quit, he has got to pay Crystal Palace £3.5m

He might be an awful manager with an awful brand of football (football vomit as I call it) but he has the best and easiest job in EPL.

Job requirements: keep WBA safe from relegation. Doesn't matter how you do it, how you perform, don't lose. Defend defend defend. Job done. Relax when you get to "magical 40 points"

DO WBA have new owners lined up?

The thing is the current owners love him as he has gibpven WBA stability. They are no longer a yo-yo championship/ promotion to EPL side. They have stuck in EPL for a while now and last couple of seasons is down to Pulis. With the Sky money coming, there is no incentive for WBA to try and get a EUROPA spot.

It's common knowledge Jeremy Pearce wants to sell the club

Everyone wants to sell, whether there are buyers is another issue (eg Randy Lerner and Villa).

Always thought WBA will eventually go down the RedBull franchise route ala NY Red Bulls, Red Bull Leipzig etc.

This time it's true as a consortium of fans have had a bid of about £100m accepted

Fair dues, but not convinced WBA will get buyers any time soon.

On the contrary, this is just Pulis playing mind games with Spurs and his own players.

He's saying to Spurs this is gonna be easy and trying to put them in the mind-set of just having to turn up to win. While saying to his own players, "you're gonna get beat, prove me wrong"

Whether those mind games work is another question, but that's all he's doing.

Don't think it's mind games
  • WBA have no reason to bother. Why would he care if Spurs win title? Besides, as long as WBA stays up Pulis keeps his job and gets paid. Why put effort into now beating Spurs? There's nothing in it for him.
  • Pulis and players don't have minds
