Steve Parish has said that there was no disagreements regarding transfers with Tony Pulis.

Pulis walked from the managerial job at Crystal Palace on Thursday evening after a meeting with Parish in London.

It was reported in the press that they had both fallen out over transfers, and the lack of targets they were able to sign.

However Parish told Gary Lineker on BBC's Match of the Day: "I can't explain it, I'd love to be able to tell you everything that went wrong."

"There was a good transfer budget agreed, there was a lack of targets that I think the manager felt was good enough in the window and it came to a point where he felt he didn't want to carry on.

"I can't have people at the football club who aren't 100 per cent committed to what we're trying to do, so reluctantly I agreed to let him out of his contract.

"I can't be let down for what he achieved for us. He doesn't owe us but we don't owe him.

"He did a fantastic job for us but we are what we are. I got this club from administration to where we are now by taking decisions to create a positive environment.

"If people don't feel they can work in that environment then it's fine for them to move on."

Caretaker boss Keith Millen is keen to be considered as a possible replacement for Pulis and Parish added that he is looking for someone with experience and who can start ahead of the end of the transfer window.

He also thinks that his old boss will be back working again soon.

"You'll have to ask him but I think he intends to work," Parish said.

"You have to assume that if he doesn't want to be at this club there's one that can give him the things that he wants and can make him happy."
