Pulis Contract Hold-up News

Last updated : 30 November 2004 By Rob Stanway
Prior to the game against Crewe on Saturday 13th November, it was announced to the fans at the Britannia Stadium that Tony Pulis had agreed terms with the football club and will be the manager for a further period.

However, it has been noticed that Pulis still hasn't put pen to paper on the agreements and still hasn't spent any of the £2M transfer budget that was promised to him on his signature.

The reason for this say the club is that City are still awaiting a draft copy of an exit clause by Tony's lawyer.

What the clause in the contract will mean is unsure at this time.

Ex manager Steve Cotterill had an exit clause in his contract to be allowed to leave for any bigger club who may have come in for him and excersised this in a move to Sunderland in the 2002/03 season which can be read here: 2002/03 Season Review
