For those interested, Pulis appeal against arbitration award dismissed and he must pay back £1.5m damages for walking out and a further £2.2m damages for deceit. Plus costs.
This brings much into the open, such as the "Heated Players Meeting" of 8 August 2014 prior to his departure, although not exactly what was said or who said it.

Following Palace since 25 Feb 1978

Well well.
He may have been able to organise our defence but his own is pretty ropy.
He is not a poor man but that will severely dent his financial future!
It has been told to me by someone not connected with the Club that Pulis thinks that leaving us was his worst ever decision in football - more like 3.5m reasons to wish he was still with us!

The stupid thing is that he only had to wait another fortnight and CPFC wouldn't have won the case

The inference from the link seems to suggest that the Heated Players Meeting was primarily about bonuses for the forthcoming year.

I believe it is common for players to agree with the club the amount and split of such a bonus pot each year based on certain team performance conditions/table finish. The Secret Footballer in one of his books gives a good explanation of this.

I seem to recall there was a bit of media interest into Palace a few years ago when it was rumoured there was disagreement between club and players over this issue.

Pulis was probably trying to cut himself into the players bonus system as well!

Well done SP and CPFC2010 for ironing out this greedy b******.

Pulis knows that footballers and lawyers cost the same its just that lawyers are a bit harder to fool!

Brilliant. Another £3.5M to strengthen our bank account.
