It probably comes down to experience imho, Pulis has been a manager for nearly 20 years, Brown has been around the block and has experience of the Prem with Bolton. Both teams will be around teh relegation mark come the end of the season, Hull have come out all guns blazing but have also carried a bit of deserved luck but I don't think it will hold all season, but only needs to for another 2 months. Strange season, strange results January signings or lack of them may be more important than ever this season, teams look like they will need more than the normal points to survive so the league maybe more interesting for longer than normal this season.
