I don't see why Pulis and Parish couldn't have agreed a similar accommodation.

The problem with some people on this site is that they can't see there is a middle way between blowing millions of pounds and going into administration, and spending peanuts. I would have hoped Pulis and Parish could have agreed a way forward that gave us the best chance of staying in the league, while not risking the club's long-term future.

I agree CPFC2010 have done - and are doing - an amazing job. But one issue for me is that they are rifling through the managers - 4 in 4 years is not ideal. They need to find an eventual successor for Warnock that will establish the club over a longer period.
At Stoke Coates installed a chief exec to carry out the running of the club. That chief exec agreed a transfer budget with Pulis the last season he was there, a budget that came from Coates. It was Pulis circumventing the chief exec and going to Coates asking for more money that was the beginning of the end for him at Stoke. Pulis then refused to deal within the budget set for the next season so Coates decided to cut him loose.

Pulis is a chequebook manager, go through his managerial history and you'll see that he's always spent plenty of money at the clubs he's been at and often had a parting of the ways when he doesn't get his own way.

Genuine question but did the money Pulis spent on players at Stoke outweigh the money they earned year in, year out from securing strong finishes in the PL?

They were making losses, though iirc pretty much all clubs do anyway.

A relevant question is whether if they were to go down, whether they'd be financially stable. You can say 'well, under Pulis, they would never go down' but this is untrue. Anyone from outside the 'big 7' (Everton, Spurs + the obvious 5) has a chance, of varying degree, of going down. For us, that chance this season was fairly significant (around 25% give or take). I believe the betting markets were putting Stoke at around 15% in his last couple of seasons. Things can go unexpectedly badly for all sorts of reasons. Let's not forget we were in the battle till fairly late when we strung together five wins. Given we don't have billionaire owners willing to pump multimillions into the club, we would be in big financial trouble upon relegation.

Also worth asking is if, given their spending, they were achieving better or worse than they should have been. Given their net spend was around Top 4 levels during his last few years there, it's hard to say he was overachieving. If Stoke could achieve the same as they were under big-spending Pulis with a different manager then his spending/management was inefficient - they did.

Interesting stats on Stoke's spending. Obviously Coates was happy to sanction that. Pulis knew he was never going to get anything like that at Palace, but he must have hoped for a middle path. I guess we'll see if we are able to stay up having spent so little. I hope so as it would be a massive shame to go back now. I'm pretty confident Warnock has steady the ship for this season and just about keep us up.

The money spent on players and the wages that were being paid was more than they were making. That's why Coates had to continuously put his hand in his pocket, something he was no longer willing to do. You'll notice that since he took over Hughes has spent a fraction of what Pulis did in just his last season. Coates wanted to go in a different direction, Pulis was unwilling to go with him. Sounds familiar, does it not?

I think Tony Pulis knows deep down that he'll never find another Stoke situation in his career. Which is possibly why he was so perpetually nostalgic about his time there when he was with us.
I can't see any Premier League club ever giving him as much rope as Coates gave him. He'll certainly be in demand as a short-term, highly-paid firefighter in the immediate future, but if he's genuinely looking to develop a club over a 5-10 year period, I suspect that ship has sailed for him, in any division of English football.
But I don't think he is genuinely looking for that.

My point is that should those losses could pay off should you maintain premiership status. Things like continued larger gates and more lucrative sponsorship deals, along with the money provided from the league make it more than sustainable. Provided the losses don't continue.

If you go down, you inevitably lose a couple of your more expensive players, along with the parachute payments, You're not going out of business.

I'm not saying it's the right thing to do, I'm just saying it's probably sustainable (for a short time) in modern day football.

In theory yes, but you are relying on someone to fund this, whether by debt or equity. Even a big owner like Bet365 has a limit.

Let's wait and see how Hughes does once the players that Pulis brought in have moved on - I have my doubts that he will be able to sustain it.

Dude. We spent 11 million this window. We made the top ten on net spend. We have another 10 or so available for the January window. Where do you get off saying "we spent so little"?

You may well be right, but one could also argue that if Pulis had stayed, and was working within the sustainable model Coates has brought in, that he too could've struggled to sustain Stoke's Premier League status.

Sorry Tony but you ****ed up here, Palace have more potential than Stoke but you couldn't see it. I know SP can be hard to work with but he is a clever sod who knows his onions, you should've stayed and proved yourself.
IMHO it will be Coventry or Yewtree…….
