a m ole Posted August 14, 2014 Share Posted August 14, 2014 Absolutely right. If he let Pulis take charge of the transfers he would do a MON and screw everything up on over-paid, over-the-hill, journey men. Parish must want Palace to make better use of the skilled players they already have which is possibly good news for Barry Bannan and Johnny Williams. Scandalous how they were frozen out under Pulis. . Did that coincide with them moving from rock bottom 21 weeks into the season to end up finishing 11th? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've shown that Barry Bannan had a role to play in that happening. Remember he scored in that vital victory against Hull. His form was great. He was gradually eased out because Pulis just didn't want to play a skilled ball-player in the middle of the park. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Con Posted August 14, 2014 Author Share Posted August 14, 2014 Wow. Just wow. Palace are ****. They've got goalscorers. Are there any promoted teams who wouldn't take Murray and Gayle? Oh yes, and this year they've got Frazier Campbell. They're gonna score goals, and Bannan will deliver the goods. Just need the right manager.

All this means for bannan is the list of managers who realise he's crap and don't play him will increase by one.

DCJonah Posted August 14, 2014 Share Posted August 14, 2014 Very strange. After winning such plaudits for the job he did last year it must be something pretty serious for Pullis to put himself back on the unemployment list. Likewise it must be pretty serious for the club to not keep hold of someone who did such a great job. And it happens two days before the season starts. Maybe we aren't currently the worst run team in the league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TrentVilla Posted August 14, 2014 Moderator Share Posted August 14, 2014 After winning such plaudits for the job he did last year it must be something pretty serious for Pullis to put himself back on the unemployment list. It isn't all that much of a surprise though really is it, the timing perhaps but surely not the outcome. The first murmurs of a fall out between Pulis and Parish started at the end of last season with suggestions he might go. It seems that there have been issues almost from day one and it seems from the outside looking in that Parish wants to have a bit too much say in terms of transfers rather than backing his managers judgement. Earlier this week he was sat in the Sky Sports studio talking about player, what other chairman does that? As for Pulis, he was on a hiding to nothing this season after his performance last season being cynical you could say its the perfect time and way for him to go. He will probably be in a better job by November. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably but we said similar when Southampton ditched Nigel Adkins, you never can tell although I do agree with you. Timing is pretty poor though. A manager walking out now just before the start of the season is the absolute worst time for it - we can attest to that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Con Posted August 14, 2014 Author Share Posted August 14, 2014 (edited) What clubs want to do is buy awesome unknowns for £5 million and sell them for £20 million. That's how to progress, through developing decent up-and-coming players and selling them for a profit to the big boys. The way Pulis works, he wouldn't buy these untested up-and-coming players. He'd buy ready made players who cost a lot in wages. Great if they keep them in the league but if Pulis failed just once, Palace would be screwed. Parish is a fan, Palace have been in financial administration twice due to bad financial management, he's not going to put them in that position again, even if it means a more risky season with a more youthful squad.

ArteSuave Posted August 14, 2014 Share Posted August 14, 2014 (edited) Oh poo. This undoubtedly means when Irvine is given the boot Pulis will be there to swoop in and hoof the olbyun to safety. Edited August 14, 2014 by ArteSuave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
