Just looking at the Palace board and reading some of their posts since yesterday and they have a topic about the capped one taking over at Brighton.Seems to have come from Keys and Gray in Qatar so maybe something in it.Big club with a good fanbase and pretty similar to the situation he took over here.I wonder what price he is?

I can see him waiting for a prem team to sack their manager. He has a good enough reputation now, after Palace, to get the job at most struggling prem teams.

If I was a fan of a club struggling (hence Brighton) I would love a manager like Pulis at my club. It's just when your a mid table club he's shite!

Great shout. Especially now Arsene seems to have bought himself a bit of time.  Something to keep TP busy until the Bournemouth rescue job comes up in 12 months or so. |

I heard somewhere - I can't remember where - that he was offered the Brighton job when he left us. That was after they got in the play offs with Poyet. I don't see that they're a more attractive proposition now than they were then.

I don't see that they're a more attractive proposition now than they were then. Expectations are now lower than they were. Following Poyet it's promotion or bust. Following a disastrous Hyypia, it's now "please save us from relegation and take us into midtable". Perfect. |

Much as they still love him, I can see TP replacing Bruce at Hull - especially if they are still bottom three in January.

Hyppia apparently dead man walking, many Brighton fans seem to want the T..P stabilisers on and then are "prepared to accept" a more direct approach to get to the Prem. It's a somewhat simplistic view, further complicated by the fact that the chairman allegedly is very hands on and parsimonious, doubt TP would be allowed the freedom he got at Stoke, the freedom he wanted at Palace, so why tarnish your reputation.? Brighton spent all their money on a new stadium and training facilities and now the team building is suffering. Sound familiar?. Furthermore, they are totally powder puff . Mind you, many on here said the he was in for Bent ( if ever there was a player destined for Brighton, surely it was him)?

Suppose he'll wait to see the Liverpool situation before committing to anything. |

I don't think he'd be able to get the Spurs job but I think you're right in that he will be looking for a step up from just being a manager for prem survival. Unfortunately, I think he might end up being a victim of his own success as he has now built his own reputation of rescuing teams in a relegation battle rather than taking teams further. He obviously already had a reputation as never being relegated in his career but, as we all know, football only counts in the premier league and the lower leagues are just to keep the lesser folk entertained (not my opinion, obviously). |

Him having a reputation of being a manager suited to relegation battles and him leaving Palace are two totally different things. I haven't said he'll ever manage a bigger club than Stoke. I'm in fact saying the same as you in that clubs will always see him as a manager for a relegation battle, so clubs like Spurs will go nowhere near him. |

We were just proud to be on the same pitch as Bournemouth today" |

When Tone came to Stoke Pugs they were in the Championship and their big club status was based mainly on their history, for many younger football fans all over the country Stoke were not a big club.
The fact that Stoke are now a PL club is down to Coates and Pulis, he could easily do the same for clubs in the Championship who are in fact bigger than Stoke.
