So, it seems Stoke have let Tony Pulis go. Right decision tbh, as he has stabilized them but even after spending money he can't take the next step.

Bale made his last season look a better than it was and he's lead an awful outfit this season + made a meal of transfers. He's deservedly up there.
His "blame everyone else for my fuckups" policy probably means he's well on the way to losing the dressing room.
