A bit of a difference resigning on the 2nd June, and having a months notice in the contract, rather than 2 days before the start of the season and some mega bonus deal though isn't there?

No I understand, I just think a compromise could have been reached. Could, but I don't think it should - tough shit on him for not having the sense to stay for a couple of days longer I'm sure a compromise could have been reached but the word from Palace fans is that TP refused to settle out of court. No one should ever accuse TP of not being stubborn - and it appears to have cost him £millions in this case.

I think you'll find it's all purely subjective. Pretty sure that's what sheikhy said anyway... 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 :D I personally don't think it's remotely subjective, I've always known he was a cunt since he was in charge at Portsmouth. You'll have to take it up with sheikhy when he has the time, seems he's a bit busy right now.. ;)

Doesn't read very well though does it if you're as interested in manager behaviour as many on here seem to be? why? he handed his resignation in and served a month's notice i.e. exactly what most people working for an employer do. what most employed people (football managers or otherwise) don't do is completely renege on one of the clauses in their contract and still think they can walk away with the bonus that is intrinsically linked to that clause. comparing this situation to that article is straw clutching at it's finest. i loved TP when he was here and for everything he did for us, always did but it's hard to have any sympathy whatsoever for him here i'm afraid.

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. Momo has pre ordered 50

Dunno. Probably. Is there any other with a major fine hanging over thier heads though? 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. To be fair the internet was something very limited and only the US Army had access to back in 1992. I suppose they must have had more pressing matters to worry about than Lou getting shirty about his resignation as Stoke manager and his tiff with Celtic. I'm just speculating like.

Doesn't read very well though does it if you're as interested in manager behaviour as many on here seem to be? it's no where near others behaviour though, one resigned just after the season ended with a 30 day notice period, giving ample time for the club to appoint somebody, or another walked out 2 days before the start of a season and ignore any notice periods? I mean, it's not as if Sparky topped up his son's bank account via football clubs he was managing was it? img.spokeo.com/public/900-600/mark_hughes_2004_11_03.jpg

I've said on the face of it its an incredibly harsh penalty and that the actual written judgement must be particularly damning to justify it. The party poppers and Tattinger on ice for the "nasty cunt" are a bit unedifying, no? Particularly when its pretty easy to find manager's behaving appallingly all over the place.

Well I did say Sparky, however comparing Lou's offsprings bank top ups to TP's offspring bank top ups still makes the comparisons look one sided. Not as if they were a Lampard or a Redknapp on the field, maybe it's a Gaelic type thing the jocks and Taffs do? mike - 1 pro season, 30 Appearances 3 goals, Paul - 1 pro season, 3 Appearances, last seen Managing Dominoes Pizza in Hanley Little Ant - 4 pro seasons, 2 sub appearances, went to Southampton as a trade for us spending £1m on Andrew Davies then to Orlando where former Stoke contacts, Phil R and Inchy were involved

Only one was as a starter :D So he went from 'being' a 'Premiership Footballer' to not being good enough for Aldershot. Wow. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anthony_Pulis

It's possible that having saved the lost cause that was Crystal Palace thereby handing them shedloads of £millions for the following season and topping it up with the cream of publicity by earning the Premier league manager of the year title he might feel entitled to be a little stubborn in this particular matter.

Hypocrisy you mean like Pulis MK I complaining the Stoke board must have spoken to Boskamp while he was still manager to appoint him so quickly. That would be the same Pulis who it emerged in high court had attended interviews with 3 different clubs whilst under contract and without permission from Gillingham.

I can be stubborn - but if I had broken a contract and refused an offer to settle out of court, knowing that a loss could cost me an extra £1.5 million, I think I would be allowing my stubbornness to be matched by the other weakness I have - stupidity.

If he did break his contract for "a few days" then he needs stringing up. This article, if true, covers the situation with him and his fully supportive chairman around the time of departure. We need to thank God on a daily basis that we've got Peter Coates.
