Pulis Out!

[Santa]

Tony Pulis' reward for keeping Crystal Palace in the Premier League is to have all his transfer targets vetoed and to 'leave by mutual consent' two days before the start of the season.

 

Whose club (shop) will he be bailing out next season?

 

Opinions and views please.

To be honest it stinks. The "old school" type of manager appears to be on the way out in the big bucks league.

 

For all his faults Pulis saved the club millions by taking the club away from relegation in some comfort by the end of the season when they had been totally written off after Holloway's demise. He at least should have been allowed to start the season!

 

I would like to know the Palace supporters take on it as it's their opinion that matters most. I suspect that whilst it's "mutual" consent, Pulis has stuck to his guns and rightly, in my opinion, wants overall control of football matters and has fallen on his sword.

 

Either way Palace will have the season they deserve.

None too happy by the sounds of it. www.holmesdale.net/page.php?id=106&tid=147124 It appears one of the reason's was he didn't want Zaha.

Good enough for him.

Surprised by this move but I'm sure Pulis won't be too bothered. His stock has never been higher after what he achieved last year and is nailed on to be linked with any club that sack their manager when they're in a bit of bother.

 

The likes of Pardew, Monk, Pearson, Lambert, Irvine and even Hughes should watch their backs.

Palace nailed on to go down now. He did a great job last year.

Palace will struggle now I think just in time to take speroni and wars out of my fantasy team

Palace down. Sure tony will move onto someone struggling around Christmas again.

palace supporters don't sound too happy,most think they're already relegated,if parrish goes for a yes man i can see them having a long hard season. watch parrish pocket the parachute money.

I think Pulis' availability could well expedite one of the above out of a job- probably Pardew or Lambert

There really are some foolish clubs around. Thank heavens we have by football standards we have a chair and manager that have a solid working relationship.

 

Palace for the drop??

[JOHNNYAITCH]

If Villa are stuggling by Xmas then I can see them wanting to bring him in but imagine Pulis and Keane together?

 

Sunderland would be a very good fit if things go wrong there

I think Palace will struggle in this season.. now tony pulis has left.. he guided them to 11th position in the premier league last season. He left because of a break down in his relationship with the chairman. and also the chairman wouldn't support his bids and he didn't get his transfer targets because they went elsewhere.

You are Obvious Townsend and I claim my £5.

I hope Palace go down now - not wishing that on their fans but their chairman, I agree with the earlier poster on watch the chairman pocket the parachute money. I was never a fan of Pulis at Stoke - I avoided the M.O.T.D. highlights, but not only did he turn Palace round he also seemed to play with more style with them.

Tin hat on here but I even had the discussion after our World Cup debacle that we could do worse than employ Pulis, he gets results and doesn't give a damn how he gets them, but more importantly at Palace - when he had flair players he used them. I can think of far worse in charge of our National team - like Hodgson.
