Daily Mirror: Pulis poised for Brighton

[Bladders]

Tony Pulis, leaves Palace cause they cant match his ambition....

....hardly coming here with nothing to spend

Do we even sell shit base ball caps?

It's the fear rather than the reality and I'm not suggesting PB is overpaid.

Wasn't implying that you thought PB was overpaid
Decent CEs are possibly hard to come by, but decent football managers are harder to come by (especially if you don't have parachute payments in our league).
Employing the best manager you can is not something you want to be saving a couple quid doing.
TB is still relatively new to the business of running a football club, so maybe he's had to learn this particular lesson the hard way.

Yep.

Can't get away with the parallels with my industry.

I rarely watch TV now but have been in the industry for over 20 years. The output is what you see on the screen, that's what you judge. You don't see or hear the head of commissioning apologising or self congratulating themselves outside of a trade paper or an in house video.

You sometimes hear from the director general and mostly from the er.. talent.

CEO of a football club giving interviews ? You might as well have the head of catering on.

It's all a bit business to business and not talking to the fan on the street, sorry customer.

Nathan Jones is 10-1. Does that mean someone has actually put money on this

The caretaker manager to get the job permanently is often a good angle in these markets sometimes. Not in this case though IMHO.

You can just picture him wearing this:

No No No No No No No

 

[portslade seagull]

Is this bit true?

That is madness, the bloke has totally lost the plot

 

[Driver8]

Do we sell Albion baseball caps?

 

[saafend_seagull]

Training at 5pm? Sami can do one

holy moly - bar maybe 1 or 2, that is a real list of ****ing appalling managers

 

[Lord Bracknell]

Maybe PB's earning are comparable to CEs in other industries?

PB' s earnings aren't even what you'd call "comparable" with those of other CEOs in football. I would hazard a guess that he earns more than most CEOs in the Premier League.

 

[um bongo molongo]

In the same paper two weeks ago and far more likely...

Great article . All it actually says is that because Pulis lives in Dorset (which is near Brighton apparently), he might find it an attractive job.

 

[Southwest Seagull]

I'm very much in the know for this (finally I can contribute something), and from what I understand he's not, and won't be particularly interested.

We (a) lack the budget for him to be interested, and (b) don't have a set up that he likes to work with.

Clearly if we REALLY want him, we'd have to really loosen the purse strings and probably get rid of Burke as well.

 

[Vegas Seagull]

Two interesting points to note:

1) Victor Chandler opened the book at 14:02 today (according to oddschecker).
2) Pulis was chalked up at ruof having been double double carpet in the previous book.

So if Oddschecker's history is correct then the contraction of TP's odds are NOT market driven.

Another?
3) as TB & VC are ex work colleagues/friends the tissue may be considered more robust than many. OG was in the top 3 for months when no'one had ever heard of him. No smoke

(c) we play football.

but not at the moment...

a) TB has £550m+ left to spend, this IS the time to recruit at a level of the 14th highest ST level in England (corporate higher) NOW is the time to go over the top and get the 'best' available with top flight experience
b) set ups can be changed, DB and others can be reassigned to our long term youth development at Lancing, whereas Manager calls the tune on 1st team buys

 

[mejonaNO12 aka riskit]

I love the amount of people claiming we don't want his "style" of football which clearly refers to long ball.

Obviously none of these people watched Palace last season under him. Nothing like how he set up his stoke team.

 

[Vegas Seagull]

Training at 5pm? Sami can do one

A light session or full...I know if my main session was 5-7 I would then want a decent meal an hour later which in turn wouldn't digest for 4 hours and I'd also be buzzing/wide awake until well past midnight delaying & changing sleep patterns etc etc (at the same time as kids/wives ignoring Sami & waking at 6 or 7 as usual = lack of sleep)

 

[Spicy]

Well he could do a job, and anyone who could get us out of the drop zone and give the players back their esteem. is good in my book.
