Pulis v Palace - The Judgement

[Official Old Man]

Really can't be arsed to read all that shit. Can you highlight the main bits?

I really would recommend you find the time to read it.
Pulis asked for, and was given, £2,000,000 bonus early after he promised to stay. Next day he resigned.
Read 14 onwards. 'HPM' was a heated (angry) meeting with the players on 12 August (day bonus was paid) between Pulis and the players and this meeting was the reason for leaving on the 13th.
But all records show the meeting was on the 8th.

It's all in the attachment . Basically he wanted the £2 m bonus paid early so he could buy his daughter some land and he left the next day . He stated the reason he left was he had a heated discussion with the squad the day before but this was proved to be about 5 days earlier so again he lied . Why he appealed after losing the original case I just don't know .

Thanks, That is mental. However if it was a survival bonus then what was the problem? Seems off that he didn't ride it out till he was paid and then naff off.

Seems a bit of a plonker that he would push it so far that he ended up with such an insanely high fine. Would he even have that much to pay it?

If he left it 2 weeks he would have got away with it , stupidity in the extreme .

All allegiances, jokes about hairdressers, and comments on previous administration aside, well done Steve Parish.

Are there similarities with what happened with Poyet? Seems like some managers expect to have their huge salaries and bonus payments as a right, but still be able to move on whenever they want with no sense of loyalty to club, fans or players.

Nice to see clubs standing their ground when managers start to act like twats.

I await correction from those that know better, as I don't fully understand what really went on and can't be bothered to read all that legal language in detail

Worthwhile mentioning 'Previous' as you're still on a hat-trick of Administrations!

total plonker.

Fair play to Palace for standing their ground and getting their money back

I don't believe it was as clear cut as simply being a survival bonus and perhaps it relied on him still being manager on the agreed payment date.

Let's see if you come up first .

'Come up' would imply that you still think you'll be up there Perhaps you might have said 'go up' ?

We will , once Pardew goes we will be ok .

I thought Pardew was your God who was going to take you into Europe when he signed as manager for you

Although we have a bit of banter Douglas I would rather talk to my accountant than you.
Don't take this personal.









Although it is

Of course you will..

 

[Garry Nelson's teacher]

Yet another tale of greed in the game. Looks like the legal cost alone will knock him sideways.

 

[Paris]

Of course you will..

If they bring in Big Sam they undoubtably will.
