Did Pele actually say “I like Butt” at one of the World Cups, or is this an urban myth?
Are we just using 'Pulis' as an example? Or are some actually thinking he would come out of retirement to become assistant manager here? I would honestly suggest that there is zero chance!
I don’t find it strange, if true, in the slightest. How many times has stuff been leaked or promulgated on social media before the club announcements lately? The club has a leak and it needs plugging.
You play the game. You wait until asked post match why he wasn’t present and announce then. The only time you announce prior is if you have replacement ready, it involves another club announcement or if its like a medical thing and you’re telling people to stay away from to allow for recovery.

the change i wanted was for the amiable wayne rooney to leave.You’ve been asking for changes and we seem to be making them. Now you say we are in a mess.
Not sure your angle on the Norwich game Penlee, as we played 3 centre backs, wing backs, and 2 CMs. Ought to have had enough cover (lol, 6-1) to cater for Wright, Gray, Bundu. It was roughly the L1 promotion formation.
But think you're right about Sheff Wed, in fact it was even more extreme! We played 4-4-1-1, with MW and Cissoko as wingers and Bundu just off TJ.
PAFC123, if you think that was a 4-3-3 with 1 up front and two wing forwards, surely you're saying Bundu was the most advanced in a three-man midfield?
It was that same shape 4-4-1-1 in pre-season - at Bristol Rovers friendly I was with work colleagues in the home end, stood in line with the halfway line. Absolutely certain it was a flat 4 in midfield. MW and Cissoko were in line with the central midfielders every time the players got back into shape. Bundu was far up just behind TJ.
- MW is definitely not a winger in a 4-man midfield, he is a wing forward or a 10.
- Cissoko, in my eyes, is a wing forward, although I don't know where Toulouse played him.
- Bundu is a wing forward or a centre forward, not a 10, see analysis of his career: https://argyle.life/first-team/analysis/new-signing-analysed-mustapha-bundu/
That shape is not the most popular formation in modern football. Teams that play one up top and two wing forwards have 3 midfielders, one of which is fairly attacking. Rooney played Bundu off the striker.
In fairness to Rooney, he changed it. He kept MW and Cissoko wide but ditched Bundo off a striker, and we improved. Our good run performance wise was: Sunderland (C.Wright), West Brom (Gyabi), Luton (Al-Hajj), Burnley (Al-Hajj), Blackburn (Al-Hajj).
C.Wright, Gyabi, Al-Hajj make the shape very different as they can contribute (to varying degrees and styles) to the midfield and link play to the forwards.

You may well be right. At least his umbrella will protect him from falling coconuts !
Wow surprised at this.
I hope everything works out for Pete and thanks for becoming a green.
It will be interesting to see who the replacement is after the comments by SH this week.

Be patient Steve, your time will most likely come.....
This could be embarrassing if the rumours are unfounded
No worse than when Michael Cooper signed his contract extension...
