According to the Mail Online But the complaint from Palace concerned the circumstances in which they paid the bonus money to their manager, with Pulis asking for it to be paid early so he could purchase a property near his Dorset home for his son.
Pulis, it is understood, received the money on August 12 only to resign two days later ‘by mutual consent’. Sources say the money was due on August 31, but Palace were angry that having requested the payment early he then left the club without a manager before the start of the new campaign.
Parish and his colleagues were certainly aggrieved, highlighting the fact that Pulis did not eventually purchase the property he had requested the money for.
How much truth there is in that only the two parties know. Cheers. I still think it is weird that he didn't stick to the letter of the contract in the timing of his walk out. Still, he's paid a heavy price for not checking the small print with a very fine tooth comb. EDIT: Looking at the Daily Mail story, you'd imagine that if that is the case, then the fact that he didn't go through with the purchase of the property he claimed he wanted the money for, will have dealt a big blow to his chances of winning his case. It will have cast doubt on his integrity as regards his version of conversations which were not part of the written contract. How can his integrity be even remotely questioned? He does loads of charity work you know and he even turned up for work, albeit late, on the day of his mothers death. Tony pulis is a fine man, a family man and a football man who has never fallen out with anyone, never tried to fleece his previous clubs and has left every club he's ever been at with an abundance of goodwill and best wishes.

And on it goes...I'm already cringing about the reception he's gonna get when or if he turns up at the Brit with the Albion or whoever next season. I'll stick a quid on a rendition of Tony Pulis you're a wanker you're a wanker or similar, and we will look such a bunch of cunts. Like Arsenal fans basically. "Where's your bonus gone?"

I hope he isn't on some position staged bonus payments with the boing boing baggies this season.
He'll start trying and they'll shoot up the league.

He said he wanted his bonus early so he could buy his son a property in Dorset (prob. Sandbanks or perhaps not at a mere £2m) - no such property was bought.

I wonder if Harry Redknapp's dog could bail Tone out for a few bob if he is struggling to pay this off?
It is well known to have a very successful offshore investments. Tone and 'Arry are neighbours and best buddies so why not?
It would feel most proper if such upright people and pets stuck together in a distressing matter like this.

pure revenge from the Palarse chairman. He had a bonus clause for keeping them in the prem and he did it so surely he's earned the bonus. I get why the chairman is pissed off with TP for how he left them though. ...to which he was entitled so long as he didn't leave before the first game of the season. He left He's not entitled Do you think they would have been happier if he had just stayed until the first game and then left just to take the money, seems cuntish to me trying to get it back given he did what they asked.

I can remember another legendary Stoke manager who liked to keep the solicitors nice and busy and threatened to sue Stoke at one stage who didn't receive a shred of the opprobrium this ex manager has.

Cuntish or not - he did keep them up but then did not meet the entitlement clauses of the contract which makes you wonder just why on earth he didn't stay just a few more days. No point having such clauses in a contract if you're not going to enforce them. "I almost stayed til the right time..." "I almost kept us promoted..." "I almost got us in to Europe..." It'd set a very dangerous precedent if clauses related to entitlement were not enforceable or could be 'relaxed' just because somebody almost did something.

When a high court judge says you are one of the most unimpressive witnesses he's ever heard bearing in mind Paul Scally was another witness in the same case, it's maybe not so subjective

He'll certainly need his this season. He left them in the shit and they had to appoint Warnock. He deserves whatever is thrown at him. Ho ho ho.

So all managers are cunts? Probably so. So when they behave in a cuntish way they should expect the worst. Toxic has had his arse bitten big time over this, to the tune of 5 million quid. Perhaps he'll think twice next time before he shits on someone. A lesson learned for all Managers.

Why the hel would anyone in the right mind give up £2 million bonus for the sake of a few days!! Just don't get why he's done it .. maybe a autobiography would cover the losses.
