Its about honouring the contract, he knew the details, he asked for it to be paid early, he knew what he was up to, why did he lie about buying a property as being his reason, and i bet we are honouring pardews contract, rightly so Aren't we the club that tried to renege on the players bonuses not so long ago nearly causing the team to go on strike?

Everyone's entitled to their opinion but I cannot believe some people on here saying that we "look cheap" for taking Pulis to court over this. Here's my understanding of what happened; He didn't get the signings he wanted so he got on the blower to his contacts and pimped himself out for another job. He got job offers pretty quickly and, with the the clock ticking, lied to Parish to get his bonus paid early and left as soon as he could. He obviously didn't give a rat's arse about Palace or us fans. He's got history for this kind of behaviour with other clubs as well. The Judge even said his conduct had "been shown to be disgraceful" when ruling against him. Horrible, horrible man who deserves everything he gets. That's not "your understanding" at all but merely a guess that is possibly as inaccurate as most of the other guesses put forward by other conspiracy theorists

You dont have to be a detective to surmise from all this we was dealing with a dishonest person from the outset it was PROVEN he was lying in order to obtain the money falsely.

I'm not aware of there being any reporting on Pulis' motivation. It was a bizarre sequence of decisions by him to be sure. The only thing I can think of is that he had another gig lined up that was time sensitive, but then fell through quickly after he freed himself from his Palace contract. It would be hilarious if it turns out that his new employer binned him once they realised that he'd do something as c***ish as he did to CPFC. Karma's a bitch. Edited by Ray in Houston (05 Mar 2017 5.21pm) I thought that the judge said in his summing up that Pullis was hoping that by leaving he thought he could walk into a particular job (west ham was mentioned). But in a strange twist Allerdyce started getting a few results so west ham didn't sack him as expected.

Yes someone like him doesn't quit a job paying £30k or £40k per week without a hunch there's something about to come up. And knowing being free and out of contract and able to bump up the signing on fee due to no compensation required will make him even more. The 20 weeks till December and the definite job offers would've eaten up all his bonus wouldn't it? What was the bonus? £1mil? Chop off £400k to £500k in tax and then 20 weeks X weekly wage. Nothing left. So why resign? He must've known something was coming up. Why resign otherwise?

It was widely reported at the time as was Parish's response that it was merely a bargaining ploy. May I suggest that you look up the meaning of the word "nearly" as you either don't understand it's meaning or didn't read my post properly

Even after it has been proven in court that Pulis took millions of pounds from the club under false pretences (and left us in the lurch two days before the season started) there are people saying Parish was wrong to pursue this?? You expect to read some bollocks on Palace Talk but that’s unbelievable.

You expect to read some bollocks on Palace Talk but that’s unbelievable. Agree with you 100%! Although he did a brilliant job that season, he then went swanning off to Brazil to commentate on the world cup, made three average signings (Haangeland, Kelly and Campbell) and then did the dirty on us (cos he was so sure of getting west ham job) whilst throwing his toys out of the pram. According to Neil Ashton, Parrish even offered him a settlement deal so it didn't go to court to save pulis money. But the arrogance of the man meant that he still believes he did nothing wrong. He better pay up soon before the bailiffs arrive though!

The only person that looks '' cheap '' in all this is Pulis ! I've referred to it before, but when Pulis was at a Business Club lunch towards the end of the season prior to him leaving, he was asked the question '' will you still be manager here next season '' ? He didn't answer the question , merely gave a politician style response. So he was asked again. And again he didn't answer. I would suggest that he had no intention - for whatever reason - of staying at Palace. I do suspect it was related to Wilf returning - which seemed to be Parish's own work.

I'd image me that there was a clause that said if he left us mid season any bonuses due were null and void. He is too savvy to have made such a basic error and Parish is too savvy to not have a clause to protect palace.
