With that squad at Palace? Seriously? It's when Tone is at his best i'd say. A bunch of championship cloggers is his ideal team.
Not too dissimilar to the squad we came up with.
I just wouldn't put any challenge past him. If they stand any chance at all, I can't see anyone better than TP. This is what I don't understand.... he was at his best here, managing HIS squad that HE got promoted, having played HIS way with them for a number of years. With Palace, he is inheriting a demotivated squad that he hasn't built, doesn't know, and has around ten games before he can even start to bring players in. He's never been in this situation before and there's absolutely no evidence to suggest that he'll do any better than Holloway. He averaged with Stoke 1.18pts per game (1.1 in his last season).... if he started today, and averaged 1.18 per game with Palace, they would end up on 38pts. So transferring his Stoke record to Palace, he might just keep them up. But his Stoke record was with his squad and his methods. We didn't just survive because of the work he did in 2008/2009, it was a culmination of the work he had also done in previous seasons. If he goes to Palace, they will still get relegated. I will guarantee it.

Every fucking thread on here is about the EX Manager of Stoke
I don't give a flying who is their manager just as I don't care who manages any other club in England
He's gone so let's move on

I remember mumf and Plymouth I genuinely do not remember anyone celebrating Bosklump defeats and he was pretty much universally popular prior to notegate. The fact is that there is no evidence of anyone being so hung up on an ex manager that they went to a foreign country to break bread with him! Do you remember that? Of course you do! Did you criticise it? Of course you didn't! Why the hell would I even begin to think about criticising people for choosing to visit an ex-manager as part of a trip abroad? They weren't wishing ill on our club while they were doing it. They never agitated to get him back. They just liked the bloke. This board had a handful of diehard Pulis men pissing themselves with joy when Stoke lost games after the Pulis sacking part 1. Perhaps you were in a coma. Reactions of people to other managers leaving are totally irrelevant however much as you like try to throw them up in the air as a smokescreen to the real point I was making. The rights and wrongs of other situations don't excuse the fact that we have a small number of people using this message board who have allowed themselves to become more aligned with the fortunes of Tony Pulis than Stoke City. So needing a passport to pay homage to an ex manager is just acceptable 'passing interest' in your eyes, yet speculating how an ex manager may perform in his next role is some sort of disloyal 'sub-plot'. Sounds like double standards to me.........or the X-Files again

i hope he gets the job in time for Saturday so he can send out a team to give Arsenal a good kicking

I heard their co-owner/chairman or whatever his position is state that for the game against Arsenal they'll have their caretaker manager in charge. Something like that, so that suggests the appointment will be made after that match.

If TP does end up at Palace - Saturday 18th January - if not already Televised would be one to watch.

Palace just aren't going to stay up or come straight back up next season even if you did sign Rory and Shotts up... please stick with punditry, grab the Wales job and wait for a decent way back in??

Seems like a decent way back in to me. Yes they're in trouble but they are a Premier League side at the moment and although I don't think he'd keep them up it is doable. He certainly isn't going to get offered a job for a Premier League team who aren't in trouble!

Tend to agree with this post I'm not sure that he would be popular with the Palace fans or get the support from their board London not his scene imo Good luck to him whatever he decides to do

www.holmesdale.net/page.php?id=106&tid=138562Palace fans have quickly formed an ABP mentality. Although some of the alternatives on their wishlist are hilarious: Houllier? Gullit? RDM might be a reasonable shout, especially as they're a London club, but it's a bit of a fall from Chelsea to CPFC. They don't want to be 'The next Stoke'! By which they either mean that they don't fancy staying up for the next five seasons, an FA Cup final, and European football OR they don't want hoofball........ .

i agree i think Pulis would be brilliant for a side in the Championship who wants to come up and survive but that's because he can build a side to get up into the Prem and therefore know he has the type of players to survive in the Prem if he brings in a couple more when promoted('aard workers, grafters with passion,loyalty etc.) it's a massively different thing to take a current Premiership side that are floundering, not the new manager's players (in terms of the kind he would like to play the way they now need to to stay up)and manage to keep them up. i don't see how he (or anyone) could do that with only a January transfer window to help out. i think whoever takes over will basically have to be resigned to going down (they can be positive etc. but also have to be realistic)and, if they have any sense, make the Palace board aware that is the realistic outcome and make them ensure that they accept that and won't just bin off the new guy when they go down. i firmly believe this spells the end for them this season and whoever the new guy is will basically be tasked with getting together a side that can get them back up and keep them up next time. now is definitely not the time for the Palace board to start sacking manager's if they relegated at the end of the season...the only way any new guy could have kept them up would have been to install him BEFORE the season started so he'd had the summer to get the required personnel in fair play to Holloway if he's done what he needs to do personally and is struggling to cope (as it sounded in his presser..sounded like a broken man) but he's buggered up any slight chance for survival now i reckon. if he couldn't cope he should have gone in the summer and given a new guy time to get his own side together.
