We Go Again! The 2014/15 Premier League Thread

[Dolphin Ziggler]

First topic message reminder :

Well, as I started one for the Championship, it seems now is the time for the Premier League 2014/15 thread to begin!

We have all our teams, with Leicester, Burnley and QPR replacing Cardiff, Fulham and Norwich. Can City retain, can United break into the top four, how will Liverpool cope with Champions League football. All this and more can be discussed as we see how the transfers, the rumours, the World Cup and everything else make an impact on the Premier League before it all kicks off?

I'll open it up...the Telegraph, Sky Sports and others report Pochettino is top of Spurs' shortlist and could be unveiled in the next week. Thoughts? Sounds the perfect fit to me. Some suggesting he'll bring Rodriguez with him, although that sounds like immediate clutching to me.

If Pulis goes then I imagine Crystal Palace would be in great difficulty as far as survival goes.

But as long as the demands of Pulis are not too ambitious or extravagant, then I would imagine he will get what he desires because he is utterly vital to Palace.

Not the best preparation for Saturday!

If they'd been able to get Caulker and Sigurdsson things would be looking a lot rosier. I don't think they would have been particularly extravagant. I can understand him being a bit frustrated as a lot of their rivals have spent a lot. Still think Palace will survive with the squad they've got.

what squad have we got?

we have players that are ok playing a set way...

If Pulis goes I want Zaha badly.

But I dont want Pulis to go.

If he leaves before the game v Arsenal that is the ultimate feick you to the fans and players and staff- whatever his issue is with Parish.. At least wait till the end of the window.

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

I'm with the Palace chairman on this one, its pretty obvious Pulis has money to spend or else why did he go for Caulker/Sigurdsson

exactly we bid for them, and we have been bidding for Wickham

[Dolphin Ziggler]

Yet they havent got the deals done. So they're either not bidding enough or their wage ceiling is too low.

If he's gonna go then he'd be kinder going quick so a new manager can work on spending whatever amount there is.

If he goes tommorow, we will have millen as a fill in and parish will conduct all the business in the transfer anyway. What manager could we get at this short notice?

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

I'd imagine they haven't got deals done cos they wouldn't pay a ridiculous wage for Caulker (compared to QPR) and Sigurdsson chose his old club who play a style that fits him over a Tony Pulis side.

Money is clearly there, Pulis isn't the first manager to miss out on a few targets. Buckle up and move on

David Moyes

[mystiroakey]

Haha- as much as I dont rate him as a manager at the highest level- I would bite your hand of for him!!

[mystiroakey]

The Betting sites are suspending the Pulis first out market. Worrying. Looks a certainty.

What a start to the season hey....

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

And let's remember when Pulis spends money, he spends 15-20m on Wilson Palacios and Peter Crouch

[CFCNick]

Pulis has just walked apparently. Waiting for official word.

[mystiroakey]

the odds are back up to 4/1 and more bookies have unsuspended the market!!

come on!!

[mystiroakey]

Pulis has just walked apparently. Waiting for official word.

source?

[Ent]

The pl is the golden goose that keeps on giving for newspapers.

God knows what's happened for pulis to be going.

[mystiroakey]

4/1 on sky bet is the best odd.

Sky bet!! not sure if he could have walked and sky dont know about it!

[mystiroakey]

I have lost the plot its 1/4

game over

[GSC]

Pulis has left Palace.

Pencil them back in for relegation.

[GSC]

Lump on Malky Mackay

8/15 I last saw it. Suspended on paddy power now.

[mystiroakey]

I just cant believe some one took a big bet down south at 40/1 .

must be a good mate of Pulis's or family!!

cheeky sod. Someone profiting like that out of Palaces woes!!

[Dolphin Ziggler]

Gotta say, I cant see he didnt know money wasnt gonna be flowing from Palace.

[mystiroakey]

I think we have to stick on Millen for a bit.

he did well as soon as Holloway left and he must have learnt the system..

I dont want an impulse manager appointment.

[Crimey]

I'd fancy Palace to struggle badly without Pulis.

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

Wholly depends on who they appoint next. They've a good squad there, certainly not a relegation one, so a good manager will do alright (players like Gayle might get more of a go than they would under Pulis)

[mystiroakey]

I am still confused as to why he walked out on  job without another one. He won't be getting paid anything...

It's very strange this.

Did he place the money on himself at 40's.....

Or has he been tapped up.   He could be off to west ham.. I have a feeling.. I just hope he then doesn't take some players with him..

[Duty281]

Pulis has not actually left yet, has he?

Keep your fingers crossed!

[GSC]

Telling Sam to play more attractive football and hiring Pulis seems odd

[Guest]

Financially he's sorted anyway, doesn't need a job immediately. His stock is sky high after what he did last season, he'll be offered every single job in the bottom half of the EPL, that's available, pre or post xmas this season, with owners browning their pants at the prospect of relegation. At Palace, he's going nowhere. With respect to the club, he's done his job at Selhurst, he's never going to take them any further than what they currently are, without a foreign owner.

If WHU think Pulis will do a better job than Sam or change the style, then their delusional

[mystiroakey]

I think a team or two have tapped him up. But he won't go to a team in a lesser place than palace. So who is there?

West ham, Newcastle?

Swansea- nope not there style.
Sunderland won't get rid of poyet.

The 3 teams coming up= zero chance . For different reasons.

Aston villa... Who just brought in keane as number 2.. Pulis wouldn't deal with that.

Stoke.. Obviously not.

[mystiroakey]

Haha john in with his 10 cents.. My comment about Newcastle is going to really help ..

I tell you what, it may be early doors, but give it the full gun and gamble all your eggs on this amusement arcade.

Any takers?

[CFCNick]

It's official

Telegraph Sport ‏@TelegraphSport 50s
Tony Pulis has left Crystal Palace by mutual consent

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

Pulis throwing his toys out the pram won't attract some owners (and tbf he did it at stoke, but there owners pockets are a bit deeper)

[Duty281]

Mutual consent...it is always mutual consent!

Palace in trouble early on.

[mystiroakey]

Alladyce has just gone to approx 3/1 as next manager to go.....

Seriously I think pulis is going there

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

Allardyce was fav before Mysti, there's been rumblings there all summer

[mystiroakey]

Pulis off course could sit about and wait out a couple of months and demand stupid money for 3/4's of a season.. And have a huge pay day from a club at the bottom.

But football doesn't work like that. The pressure will be immense. He isn't a magician ..

I think he has been tapped up.

[mystiroakey]

Ok nothing official yet. Oddschecker went nuts for a minute and dropped pulis out the market..

1/33 on pullis first out, alladyce back to 19/1

Nobody is gonna have tapped him to appoint him a few days before the season starts.


He's got moody over a perceived lack of funds, the chairman has stood his ground (and not wilted like Stoke's did) and he's thrown his toys out. Good on Palace I say, Pulis with money nearly bit Stoke massively on the arse

[mystiroakey]

Official. On sky news

[DP]

Makes you change your bottom 3. I'd have banked on Palace survivng with Pulis as gaffer.

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

Poor from Pulis really. Like when O'Neill walked out on Villa around the same time. Will put owners off for sure

[DP]

He'll get another job somewhere. Expect Sherwood and Lennon to be linked with the job, though if Pulis and the chairman fell out, wouldn't bode well for Tim.

With Ian Moody already there, Mackay is almost nailed on

[NickisBHAFC]

Where's ya Pulis gone?           

Good on him, way to good for Palace.

[NickisBHAFC]

All joking a side, Palace are in trouble. They have now become relegation contenders.

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

Rumor on twitter is that parish wanted to bring zaha back against pulis's will
