Highly unlikely. Him leaving Stoke will have been at the club's instigation.

It's premier league football though. He's kept them up when bigger clubs have been relegated.

I wouldn't be surprised if stoke go next season.

He spent so much money the Stoke fans expected better than they were getting I think

With the third highest net spend in the EPL over the last 5 years.

Rafa Benitez is 5/2 favourite to take Stoke City job, can't see it happening.

Of Stoke's 190 Premier League games since promotion in 2008, they have had >50% possession in only 13. Dominated. I'm shocked he lasted this long to be honest.

Really? He has had a very good budget mate yet a lot of his signings haven't done great. His hoofball along with being the dirtiest team in the league I'd say he's a poor manager myself. All about opinions I suppose.

I'm not the Tony Pulis fan club. Just think he took them up to the EPL, and stabilised them as a middle of the league team. A lot of bigger clubs would be happy with their last 3/4 years league placings!

He's a **** manager. Instead of teaching them playing football he's teaching them rugby

This means that each of the other 91 football league clubs have changed their manager since Arsenal last won a trophy

Also since then 23 Arsenal players have gone on to win trophys with other clubs

Having thought about it, it was a ridiculous suggestion :greengrin:

Is this the guy who allows dressing room banter to extend to pig-heads in lockers and smashed-up cars?

Done a good job but in reality a one trick pony whose style of football is eye-bleedingly brutal. Would still have liked to see how Barcelona dealt with Stoke though!

Bet you have a Pulis cap just like his dont you ;) I know what you're saying mate he has kept them in the EPL. But for the cash he's had I honestly thought they could do better. His football though was hard to take in most days.

I like Stoke, just for the nuisance value if nothing else. Nothing better than watching MOTD if Stoke had beaten a committed on the deck footballing side and then had to watch Hansen and Lawernson squirm about them being " very good at what they do". Anything but admit that even in the best league in the world some teams just don't like it up them.
