As fans face another season of José Mourinho moaning, they will reflect on who United could have chosen instead of David Moyes and Louis van Gaal
Funny old game, football management. Both Stoke and West Brom were glad to see the back of Tony Pulis, and look where they are now. And look where Pulis is now, cheerfully turning Middlesbrough into a force again and keeping pace with Marcelo Bielsa’s Leeds at the top of the Championship.
The word cheerfully is used carefully, for although Pulis has a reputation for functional football, his outlook is usually sunny and his attitude always positive. His reaction on missing out on the chance to sign Yannick Bolasie last week was fairly typical. “If we can’t get the players that will improve us, then we’ll work our socks off to get the best out of the ones we have,” Pulis said.
