The Palace manager said: "I think it's ideal when you do your business early on (in the transfer window), because there's so many games through January.
"And you don't want to be chasing one or two at the end of the month, but that depends on who will go as well as who will come in.
What about the value at the end of the window Tone...............or so he or Mr Coates led us to believe.................

I still can't get my head round why we have to have Pulis threads being started (what seems like) every day, on this board. When Hughes moves on will we just have Hughes threads, Pulis threads or Hughes AND Pulis threads? And why don't we have Quitters threads or Gudjon threads every day?  |

To be fair we had loads of Quiter threads initially but he isn't a manager at the moment so not in the public domain. I don't get why people are so against talking about Pulis. He has played a massive part in our history. I am certainly interested in what he has to say and how he does. Let's not forget it wasn't a usual sacking by this clubs standards |

Next time I learn anything new about TP or read a new opinion on him on a thread, will be the "first" in a very long time! I liked the bloke and wish him well, but I'd rather save my energy and effort to discuss the present, not the past.  I presume you don't count managing a Bristol club as being a manager?  |

Because he spent nearly ten years at the club. How often do we talk about Little, Kamara, Bates etc, not very often as they werent here long enough. Whoever came in after Pulis was always going to draw comparisons im sure Everton and Man Utd forums will be the same as again both parted company with managers who were there for many a year. It wont stop any time soon. |

But at least he can add the next Berger, Gudjohnsen, Crouch or Owen to his bucketlist! Ah, fond memories  |

I think part of the reason that threads are constantly started about him is the fact that fans opinions are so split about him. Whereas with the likes of Kamara, Bates, Little & Quitterell the fans are all pretty much in agreement that they were disliked or just shite which doesn't make for much of an debate argument

I still stand by my statement when he first got the job.
I feel sorry for the palace fans.
It won't be too long before they're sick of the sight or sound of him.

I wonder why Hughes gets away with no criticism when he talks shit? In his post match against Hull when he said 'we controlled every aspect of the match' I spat my beer out and expected to see his ludicrous comments dissected by the usual suspects on here but there was nothing.
Wonder why?

Wonder why? It could be that we actually did control the Hull game excellently and gave a very good away performance that had much more about it than parking the bus and hoping something dropped for us. Alternatively it could be that we are all hypocritical cuntflaps! I'm waiting for you to ride in, sirens blaring and jump all over your own post for daring to question the manager in any way shape or form.  I've been dying to ask: Are any of the London Boys Palarse fans by any slim chance? |

Potentially stupid point.
But how much of a role do manager actually have in transfer negotiations? I presume that over the summer managers come up with a list of targets and hand them over to the chairman and chief executive. Who then in turn begin negotiating with the club, player and agent. So surely when a player signs has more to do with the chairman, chief executive and agent?
Happy to be disproved but that's always been my understanding.

So surely when a player signs has more to do with the chairman, chief executive and agent? Happy to be disproved but that's always been my understanding. Not a stupid point at all. When Tony Scholes was on Radio Stoke recently, he said that the transfer team work on a full time basis, so there is always activity going on. You'd assume that the manager recommends players to them, and them to him on a regular basis throughout the year. I think the point where the manager really comes into play is if they have the final say on whether they want a player to sign or not. It's alleged that Tony is a bit of a ditherer who liked to wait in case something better cropped up at the last minute. Thats only conjecture though. What is a cast iron fact is that in virtually every single interview about transfers that Tony gave as Stoke manager, what he said was the polar opposite of what he has said in this one, so it's baffling that some posters cannot see why this would be a discussion point.. Unless of course we accept that Pulis is a consumate liar and therefore we should not be surprised at anything he says and should leave well alone. |

So surely when a player signs has more to do with the chairman, chief executive and agent? Happy to be disproved but that's always been my understanding. It is a very good question actually. The evidence of the recent past at Stoke has been the manager does not actually conclude the financial aspects of the deal but it is clear from the comments of Peter Coates that he allowed himself to be talked into deals by TP he would rather he hadn't done and lived to regret. The comments made regarding the Couch/Palacios deal make this pretty clear. Great that we have a chairman who has been prepared to back his manager in this way but clearly steps have been taken to deliver a more considered recruitment process that is partly designed to take emotion out of the assessment of a deal in the future. In my view this is sensible and will help to keep the club safe in the long term. Not a criticism of anybody but I think we all know deep down that the club could not continue to sustain those type of deals in the long term and things had to change. |

A new recruitment policy is only as good as the players it's bringing in and the value. It could be said that the jury is out at the moment. January is a big test for the 'transfer team'.
