Topic: Tony Pulis has left Stoke (and Palace now)

[TheFlyingScouseman]

Can't really blame Pulis for getting pissed off. He had his targets and wanted to progress on the back of last season but the club haven't really backed him very strongly by only bringing in Campbell and Kelly. They'll get relegated without him if he leaves.

Couldn't agree more. Pulis transformed them when he went there. Under Holloway they were a team going down for certain (Nice bloke though). And Pulis changed there fortunes, and without him, they are going down for sure. Another example of a club's board negativity bringing down a club.

[Upinsmoke]

Oliver Kay confirming he's gone.

[Adam_LFC]

This is gonna bite them right in the arse. Can only feel sorry for Kelly.

[Po The Panda]

Think he will be at Villa soon. Lamert has to get the sack at some point.

[Barneylfc∗]

Feel sorry for Kelly as they're now likely to be in and around the relegation zone all season. Hate Pulis and his style of football though.

[TepidT2O]

Money on palace to go down now.

Pulis will go to a club in trouble in a few months and save their skin.....

[Phil M]

If ever a thread needed a new title.

It's shite but at the same time very effective. As far as I'm concerned Palace owe their Premier League status to him.

Do you think the Glazers would even consider him though?

[Carly]

Palace fans have been acting like right tw*ts ever since they got that draw against us.  Have that you bunch of ***** hahaha.

[TepidT2O]

Do you think the Glazers would even consider him though?

Ha ha


Imagine that.... Van Gaal sinks and they bring in Pulis to right the ship.... We can but dream!

[Phil M]

This could be a job for...

[HighSix]

Nah its his time! 

[Upinsmoke]

Why bring in Kelly if your gonna do this. You don't do that. Poor lad

[Carly]

Or

[HighSix]

You could see him being an oversized typical Pulis RB all day. Shame for him

No reason why he won't establish himself under the next boss. It's a shame having just signed but if Pulis has gone then it's best he go now rather than a few games in imo.

[Carly]

Kelly will be fine no matter who they bring in next.  Hes better than anything else they have, provided he can stay injury free. 

[Redman0151]

Hard to blame Pulis really, he performed a near miracle what he did last season and he's been fucked over in the market. Was apparently asking for Caulker, Michu and a few others and they didn't get him any of them

[sinnermichael]

They'll go for Malkay Mackay if they have any sense.

[Carly]

They'll go for Malkay Mackay if they have any sense.

Its between him, Lennon or Sherwood.  Cant see Moyes taking the job.

[elsewhere]

So, did any credible source confirm he left Stoke?

[RideTheWalrus]

They'll go for Malkay Mackay if they have any sense.

Think he's their best option. Or, only real option.

[RedZen]

So, did any credible source confirm he left Stoke?

Yeah pretty sure he deffo left Stoke mate!

[OneTouchFooty]

Yeah just get rid of the fella that kept you up and made you competitive, 2 days before the season starts. Football clubs knee-jerk stupidity never ceases to amaze me.

[Carly]

Wont be long before he replaces Big Sam at West Ham.

Tony Pulis leaves Stoke City after seven years in charge.
Pulis's future has been in doubt for some time and he has been told the club feels the time is right for him to leave after seven years in charge.
The 55-year-old was appointed Potters boss for a second time in 2006, and two years later he guided the club to the top flight after a 23-year absence.
Stoke have just finished 13th in their fifth Premier League campaign.
The Potters released a brief statement saying: "Stoke City and Tony Pulis confirm that they have mutually agreed that Tony will leave the club with immediate effect."
Pulis was the subject of unrest from some fans towards the end of the season as Stoke flirted with relegation, but the Welshman stated on several occasions that Premier League survival remained the club's main objective.
Stoke made a strong start to the campaign and were just four points off the top four on 1 December. However, they only managed four league wins in 23 subsequent league matches, suffering 11 defeats.

Massive blow for them!! All very strange

[Kopulator]

They'll go for Malkay Mackay if they have any sense.

Who did Brendan invite to watch training at Melwood the other day, I can't remember his name, there was a picture on twitter?

[harryc]

Palace board are a bunch of Idiots if they get rid of Pulis - guaranteed relegation.

Depends on who the successor is and what other business they can do before the window closes.

Atkins was it?  Former reading manager??

He often invites out of work coaches to Melwood to join in training (his words)

[Chakan]

Moyes anyone?

[Carly]

Moyes anyone?

Moyes wont risk it.  Pulis performed a miracle last season for them to avoid relegation, Moyes knows full well he could get relegated with that team and if that happens his career really would be screwed.

He will wait until hes gets a job an an established middle order team.

[Motty]

Daft fucking decision

It was Brian McDermott

[Kopulator]

It was Brian McDermott

Yep that's him. I wonder if he was scouting Martin Kelly for his new team?

[redgriffin73]

Have to feel a bit for the Palace fans. And Kelly must be wondering what he's got himself into.

[TepidT2O]

That's him...always get his name wrong

More importantly, isn't that Markovich next to him?
