[Beefy 1965]

The more I read about the Camacho deal I now believe they may have hung him (Pulis) out to dry,

Malaga have released a statement saying we met the release clause but we wanted to defer £3 million until the end of the season,

So someone is telling porkies Ay they

Read this of .com I suppose it entirely down to you who you believe,

Our chairman or theirs

In short - club doesn't want to be seen as cheap and messing up a potentially big deal, so they have to think of an excuse.

With this they claim tenuously that Pulis wasn't happy with Camacho and pulled the plug...even though he'd supposedly passed a medical and signed - it's a bit odd isn't it? At worst, Pulis could have 'done a Chester' with Camacho if he failed and used him mostly as a sub...it would be awful for Pulis and his PR but not as bad as pulling the plug in the final hour of a possible deal.

At the same time, the chairman of Malaga said the clause was not met. Logically, is there a reason why he would say this? Is he good friends with Tony Pulis? I don't think so, and think he was telling the truth.

With this, the club looks slightly better than saying "we were cheap and messing about" and they're not fully blaming Pulis either meaning he takes some of the blame but he hasn't been fully put out to dry either.

Even if you hugely dislike Pulis, I can't see him pulling out of a deal - historically he doesn't care about spending a clubs money and really needed a player in that position. It doesn't make any logical sense for him to dropout, especially as the deal got so far down the line, I don't think he has that amount of power either, especially as his contract is running down.
