‘Right manager at the right time’ ‘2020 keeps on giving’ ‘Get behind him’ - Sheffield Wednesday supporters react to the appointment of Tony Pulis

Here we take a look at some of the reaction from Wednesdayites on social media.

@T_i_B: Best of luck Pulis. Let's get Wednesday winning again!

@owlbelly: 2020 just keeps on giving

@GazRobinson1: Whoop whoop it’s the sound of the pulis

@mypreciousgolum: Pulis it is then. Underwhelmed but will get behind him and the boys. Will be a few crick necks after watching the ball in the air, if we ever get back in the grounds that is

@NewYorkOwls: Come on then Uncle Tony, no more negativity, let's see what you can do.

@danhennell: Jesus the meltdown about Tony Pulis. Yes not many a folks 1st choice including me but we are a struggling championship/league 1 team and have been for 20 years apart from 2 seasons under Carlos, he might be just what we need, time to get on board and support the team

@bennomartin83: This means that @kenwynejonestt could finally return to Hillsborough right?

@ChrisEason84: I'm fully behind you and the lads, here's hoping for a very productive and successful season and beyond.

@gregowl: He's really gonna put an end to our wonderful to watch attacking football of late - Face with rolling eyes - Hope he gives em a kick up the a**e and gets us winning some games

@Dango1867: We haven't been a great footballing side in years. So let's settle for a side willing to fight for the shirt and get some points on the board.

@jfagej: It’s not “delightful” but at least we won’t go down I’m pretty sure of that and this season was all about safety

@Calvertonowl: I thought watching Monks football was boring and negative we played like Barcelona in comparison to Pulis’ Awful Awful football!! We may not be getting relegated but we’re not getting anywhere near promotion either

@ben_perkin_: Find it hard to believe anyone can be “delighted” about this

@kingmdk1983: Wouldn’t have been a name I’d have thought of to take our club forward but he’s here now and that’s that so get behind him and don’t slate him before he’s even managed a game ffs. Welcome to wednesday lad

@watdog78: Right manager at the right time for us. I don't care at the moment if its long ball football, get the ball in the box and attempt to score, something we haven't done yet this season, route one, and hopefully up the league, welcome to Hillsborough Pulis WAWAW

@deanrowdingswfc: Good luck to him winning 1-0 every week has got to be better than losing 1-0 every week UTO

@lewsouthy: I'm not a footballing snob, definitely worse options out there, I just think it's honestly the dullest appointment we could have made. Don't buy the "relegation Dogfight" argument, we're 2 points off safety after a 6 point deduction.

@Jamesy_boy: Best #swfc managers Bruce, Carlos, Megson... Jones in L1. All really experienced. Not scared. Proper English league experience ( Carlos aside ). Worst inexperienced L1 ones.
