The Great Palace 2013 managerial farce. 31 days...THEY FOUND ONE!

[L'hampton Eagle]

That's what funny and god forbid the DAY we ever CONSIDERED anyone like Tony USELESS

Unemployed managers don't *usually* take this long to agree terms with a prospective employer do they ? Usually its the potential managers throwing their hat in the ring, applying for the job, and then trying to sell themselves in the interview. In Palace's case, nobody wants their CV tarnished by being associated with a basket-case club just going through the motions and already nailed on for the drop, working for a clueless chairman who has comprehensibly proved he is hopelessly out of his depth. So they're the ones desperately trying to do all the persuading. And all this procrastinating with a bloke who is currently on the dole. Its all a bit pathetic.

I'm actually starting to feel a little sorry for them.

Is that the Tony Pulis who managed Stoke, got them premoted into the prem and under his managership never finished under 14th...yea bloody useless!!

You are arguing with the man/woman/unidentified living object that has spent his life insulting the man who helped saved the club he professes to love

And arnt they doing so much better without him.

Would you Prefer Brighton to play lovely tippy tappy football in the lower divisions, or a up it and get into them game in the Prem....let be honest you can watch a good game and lose, and everything is shit, then you can play a crap game score a last min goal of the centre backs arse and every one goes away happy.

Football in the prem is about winning.

Mark McGhee

Try again.

Mcghee got us up by the play offs. He then went on to keep us up in the Championship on a SHOESTRING and then some. We almost survived next season but regrettably succumbed to relegation and DK let him go shortly after when we were back in league 1.

In hindsight McGhee was a success.

"STOKE City lost its owners almost £31m in the financial year up to March 2013, latest figures have revealed.

That compares with a loss of nearer £6m in the previous 12 months and shines a light on the club's heavy duty expenditure on transfer fees and wages in the Premier League."

For probably 14 clubs out of 20 it is about surviving.

You wouldn't KNOW much about that

40% of BBS voters don't seem to want Pulis. One or two are quite vociferous about it...

"If Pulis takes this on it will be akin to having a 12" dildo covererd in chilli paste rammed up our arse, and us turning around with a forced smile to say "Thank you"."

"My word, all this shit makes it sound like Crystal Palace should be honoured if the great Pulis wants to manage us. Another ego that will think he's bigger than the club, ridicule who we consider to be our rivals because they're not in the same post code, please save yourself the bother Tony and don't come to South London."

Lovely stuff.

Thats what I am trying to say, 14 teams find it hard to stay up...so if its ugly but does a job do the fans really mind that much??

After a couple of seasons staying up, the money made should help the team afford better players and then push for the next level...as Stoke are now trying.

By the way I am no great fan of Pulis, but Palaces most successful few years was under Coppell, and that wernt pretty to watch my friend. But got us to 3rd in the league, 1 FA cup final, 1 ZDS cup final win and 2 league cup semi finals, and that aint bad.

Well given the fact that the last time Brighton played "tippy tappy" football in League One we won the division by a country mile and were really enjoyable to watch too, that question isn't actually as easy to answer as you'd think!

Thats fair enough!!

But what I have seen by watching live prem games this season (in the flesh) the quality is so much higher than the last time Palace were in it, and unless you are going to spend all your cash on a couple of players of high quality you will stuggle (as we are seeing!)

What were your losses for the last 2 seasons ?

Nothing to do with this discussion. Mine was an observation on Pulis's 'success' at Stoke being a result of MASSIVE 'investment' by the owners.

"Pulis drifting. Dowie shortening. This could still be going at Christmas. Perhaps some on the list might die. Does that count as a lay?"

Aren't you benefitting from old tones massive investment ! Money is available in the premiership ,a lot of it . Managers will spend it if it is available that's natural .
