Pulis: Giving Hiddink the credit for Chelsea revival is 'a load of crap'

Pulis’ West Brom travel to Stamford Bridge on Wednesday evening.

CREDITING GUUS HIDDINK for Chelsea’s recent revival is a “load of crap”, according to West Brom head coach Tony Pulis.

The Dutchman took charge at Stamford Bridge in December after Jose Mourinho was sacked, leading his team on a four-match unbeaten run in all competitions.

But Pulis insists the praise for Hiddink since his appointment has been somewhat hyperbolic.

“To be honest, what’s been said is a load of crap in lots of respects,” he said.

The fact Mourinho won the league by a country mile – to say someone’s come in and changed it and they’re playing better and doing everything else better.

“There might have been other reasons that things didn’t go so well this year.

“But to put Jose down is completely and utterly out of order. It’s disrespectful to Mourinho and also the players that won the league last year, because they played some great football.”

Chelsea are 14th in the Premier League, two places below West Brom through 20 games this season.

    I feel sorry for all the Shams fans. Mick Leech, Johny Fulham, Frank O Neill, and John Giles. Ye will never see great players like them again.
