So if your all honest as I am sure you are, are you going to be happy with Tony Pullis? or has it become so desperate that your offering him more money just so someone will say yes.

The Great Palace 2013 managerial farce. 29 days...and counting...
That Sky report pretty much sums it up. What a balls up. Laughable transfer policy, no management structure, no planning and still their they come on here trying to defend Parish. Surely even they can see they're completely out of their depth. People have a moan about Barber and his PLR talk but I bet Parish wishes he had a Paul Barber in place back in May.

TP wouldn't have been my choice but looking at the list of available managers he is probably the best of a bad bunch. But yes I'm sure with each passing day the pressure has built up on the board to get someone sorted. Who knows what they have offered him, Hopefully less wages but a big incentive bonus if he manages to pull of a miracle and keep us up.
Palace's wage bill was one of the lowest in the Championship to be fair, more like £10 million, so trebling it will take it to £30 million.
The AVERAGE wage bill in the PL is £81.3 million, but if you exclude the top four, plus Liverspurs, it drops to £52.6m. However these figures are for 2011/12. I would expect wages to have risen by about 7% a year compound since then, so the average for the non-top clubs is likely to be £60 million this season. Palace will struggle to compete I suspect, as players will be wary signing for them in January if they try to impose relegation clauses into contracts, given their parlous Premiership Pulis/Parish position.

I think he just lost the plot, I don't think he was a 'Burley'.

Just returning the favour after the beautiful May-June at the Albion.
To be fair I think the Palace board have admitted they were not ready for the prem...and its a steep learning curve, I also think they put to much trust in Holloway and even he must admit he fxxked up royaly

Too right EP. Getting rid of MB was a MASSIVE mistake.
Are the ones on big wages all on one year contracts? If not, why would they go - no one else will want to pay their wages?

The worry for Pulis is that once they go back down to the Championship we won't be given the funds to mount a challenge to come straight back up again.
Assuming they go down you'd expect two of Sunderland, Hull, Norwich, Fulham or Cardiff to go with them. I don't see too many more instances of clubs doing a Pompey, Blackburn or Wolves and sinking without trace after the Prem. So not only are the odds against them staying up but also against them going up again in 2014/15.
A lot of Pulis's former Stoke players have lived comfortably in the Prem for a few seasons now. Are Etherington, Pennant, Wilkinson, Walters really going to want to join Palace if he comes calling?
The other point of view is what alternative is there for Pulis right now? Palace are lucky there's nothing else out there - I suspect Cardiff, Norwich, WBA would float his boat. There have been various rumblings at each but no vacancy.

Sky reported £18M paid out on transfer fees alone. Wurzel walked away with a £2M payoff.

That Sky article was very good, highlighting how a lack of a Director Of Football was key to Palace's dismal planning. They have one now but he'll be focusing on how to get rid of the dross. I feel sorry for Holloway in as much as he was single-handedly expected to get them up AND build a Prem strength squad with no help whatsoever.

There is a very recent managerial vacancy at S****horpe

I believe that was Steve Browett.
Day 30 without a boss. A month. Marvellous.
