Pulis Banned From Gillingham Ground -

Scally really is a megalomaniac - http://www.express.co.uk/posts/view/294112/Tony-Pulis-won-t-be-hurt-by-Paul-Scally-ban -


TONY PULIS could turn up at his old club Gillingham today and find himself banned.

Gillingham owner Paul Scally’s row with Pulis might mean him being restricted to the dressing room and dug-out when Stoke visit in the FA Cup third round.

Scally has said Pulis is banned from the ground and that he will only be allowed to go through the main entrance and have access to the dressing room, tunnel and pitch side.

“Ask Paul Scally,” said Pulis. “I’ve been back there before and had no problems whatsoever. I’ve always had a fantastic response from the Gillingham supporters.

“My job is down the sidelines, my job is on the pitch. I don’t go up to boardrooms. I don’t even go in my own boardroom at Stoke. That has never been an issue with me.”

Pulis managed Gillingham from 1995-99 and won them promotion before losing to Manchester City at Wembley for a place in the Championship.

I’ve been back there before and had no problems whatsoever. I’ve always had a fantastic response from the Gillingham supporters.

But he and Scally then bitterly fell out. Scally sacked Pulis for gross misconduct and accused him of trying to line up a job elsewhere while still managing Gillingham. Pulis denied it and claimed he was owed money.

In an acrimonious court case Pulis also alleged financial irregularities at the club. Scally counter-accused Pulis of blackmailing him and using documents stolen from the club, which Pulis denied.

Pulis accepted an out-of-court settlement of £75,000, but the bitterness goes on.

Before Stoke played Manchester City in last season’s FA Cup final, Scally described Pulis as “the most evil and despicable person I have ever worked with”.

 

I heard this on Sky Sports yesterday, but I know he has been back to our club to watch games three times this season, as he said on BBC Radio Kent I have been back to see the Gills with Ady Pennock and Big Mama "Sidibe" so I don't think they have been telling Scally that they have been letting him in as I saw him and Pennock at a game in October.
