The name of Tony Pulis had been mentioned during last week and it appears that he was the first choice of John Rudge the club’s Director of Football. So they quickly turned to him and by this morning had been given and accepted the job. He will be in charge for tomorrow’s game just down the road at Walsall.
Pulis had the most success at the Priestfield Stadium with Gillingham and took them within minutes of a place in Division One before losing out to Manchester City (now KKMC) in the play off final on penalties.
He then left in somewhat strange circumstances after a clash with Chairman Paul Scally and went to Bristol City before moving onto Portsmouth. That was his last job until today and he left there over two years ago.
There will be no more additions to the staff and Pulis will work with Rudge with Dave Kevan reverting to the role of first team coach after he spell as caretaker manager.
