Pulis leaves Palace over transfer row - reports

Tony Pulis is reported to have left Crystal Palace by mutual consent in a shock move prompted by disagreements over the Premier League club's transfer policy, according to reports on Thursday.

Eagles boss Pulis had grown frustrated by Palace's failure to push through deals for various players he targeted to strengthen the squad and several media outlets reported he had parted ways with the south London club following showdown talks with co-chairman Steve Parish.

The 56-year-old's reported exit comes less than 48 hours before Palace kicks off its Premier League campaign with a daunting fixture against Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium.
