Tony Pulis
Bristol City
### Bristol City

Pulis was appointed manager of [Bristol City](/wiki/Bristol_City_F.C. "Bristol City F.C.") in July 1999, prior to the start of the [1999–2000 season](/wiki/1999%E2%80%932000_Bristol_City_F.C._season "1999–2000 Bristol City F.C. season"). A previous long stint at bitter rivals [Bristol Rovers](/wiki/Bristol_Rovers_F.C. "Bristol Rovers F.C.") meant that Pulis's appointment was met with mixed reception. He made several reasonably big purchases including [Steve Jones](/wiki/Steve_Jones_%28footballer%2C_born_March_1970%29 "Steve Jones (footballer, born March 1970)") and former Rovers player [Peter Beadle](/wiki/Peter_Beadle "Peter Beadle"), but his popularity hit an all\-time low only six months into his term as manager and when rumours surfaced of a switch to [Portsmouth](/wiki/Portsmouth_F.C. "Portsmouth F.C."), home fans chanted for him to leave. He moved on to Portsmouth shortly, where [Milan Mandarić](/wiki/Milan_Mandari%C4%87 "Milan Mandarić") had recently taken over as chairman.
