‘Disgraceful’ Tony Pulis ordered to pay €4.3m to Crystal Palace

West Brom manager Tony Pulis will have to pay back €4.3 million to his former club Crystal Palace, a High Court challenge in London decided yesterday.

Pulis had earlier this year been ordered to pay £3.7m (€4.3m) damages to former club Crystal Palace by a Premier League Managers’ Arbitration Tribunal. He had claimed the decision was unfair and mounted a challenge in the High Court.

But judge Michael Burton has ruled against him after a hearing in London. Detail has emerged in a written ruling published by the judge on Monday.
