Speaking exclusively to Football FanCast, former Sheffield Wednesday midfielder Carlton Palmer believes Tony Pulis has been silent following his sacking from the Yorkshire club likely because of some sort of financial agreement.

Pulis was appointed as Wednesday manager last November, brought in as a replacement for Garry Monk, but was dismissed just 10 games later as the Owls continued to struggle in the Championship.

Following his Hillsborough exit, the 63-year-old has not said too much despite all of the drama that went on during his time at the club, which included the threat of a transfer embargo.

And Palmer has suggested that the above is probably due to an agreement he made with owner Dejphon Chansiri. On Pulis' silence, the ex-Wednesday player told FFC in an exclusive interview:

"It's interesting that Tony's never come out and said anything. And I'm assuming that's due to the money that they paid him, that he's not allowed to say anything.

"But it'd be interesting to know what he agreed with the chairman, why he went in there and why he left so quickly."

In contrast, Monk has been very outspoken since his axing from the Hillsborough dugout, telling The Athletic (via The Star) that it was a "mistake" to join Wednesday and that he knew it was a club that had a lot of problems.
