Pulis to be announced tomorrow. I hope this doesn't come back to haunt us. You can fucking see it now.

Not sure that would be a bad thing for us! I can see Crouch, Whelan, Walters, Ethers and Shotton (if Wigan send him back) be potential players to bring in. Aren't these the players we want to offload? Be careful what you wish for! Heard that before? Knowing our decisions lately we will prob let all of them go to Pulis, then they will get out of the bottom 3 and one team close to the bottom will replace them them - god forbid You might be right, but I can't see a future for these players under Hughes. Because of this we really should try to get as much money as possible for them and free up wages too! Hopefully we can then bring in 3-4 players to take us even further, at least we must hope so!

Looks like you are unable to read my post where I have made no criticism of people following what Tony does next "You can read this thread and detect that a very small number of individuals interest in Pulis getting the Palace or any job goes beyond a passing interest in the fate of a ex-manager.
The thinly disguised sub-plot reads suspiciously like they want things beyond that; namely Pulis gets Premier League job, Pulis gets better results with Premier League club than Stoke achieve." Sure thing Mark, your comments don't criticise those who take an interest in the ex managers next move at all except saying they go 'beyond things', and talks of 'thinly disguised sub-plots' and accusing them of supporting Pulis other than Stoke. Other than that you've said fuck all about them! Thanks for illuminating my point for me. Very kind despite the transparent attempts to misinterpret with misplaced suggestion. Have you any Palarse fans among the circle of London Boys. The dynamics that shape the very core of your opinions on Stoke may change if they have the Messiah all to themselves.

I wish him well but he is no longer anything to do with us. If he manages Crystal Palace he becomes an opposition manager. My only concern is how Stoke do and I believe we will come good.

How can you say you'll even be a tiny bit pleased for him? If it was at our expense i'd be pissed off. Devastated.
If Pulis goes to Palace he'll get the same treatment off me as 18 others. Abuse. Couldn't give a toss what he did for us now, it's in the past. The past that he was paid very well for.
Seriously, we all need to move on.

TBH (to be honest) I thik Pulis and Holloway together would be a better management team than either of them alone. However IMHO (in my honest opinion) Palace are doomed who ever they appoint but they will have had a taste of the prem again and what is needed to compete in it.

And that's what I appreciate mate, we should be lauding tone for the good times he bought to this football club but all this dragging up "told you so" bollocks by the few is clouding that. I seem to have missed the bit where you were lauding tone for the good times Well seeing as though you thought Geoff was a stoke fan means that you're not very perceptive and/or a bit presumptuous.

I don't see this one going very well.
Palace are dead and buried. They're just crap. The last time he inherited a crappy team at this time of year tasked with saving them from relegation, he achieved it in no small part by bringing in a whole host of late season loan signings to push the club over the line. A load of players brought in through the revolving door of loans each played their part, from Crossley and Akinbiyi even to Wilson (was that the guy's name, the centre back? Maybe Williams?), Warhurst and Lee Mills. He won't have that luxury in this league. Then again, if he finds his James Beattie and Matthew Etherington in January I suppose there's a chance, but I don't see it.
When they get relegated, then what? The argument goes that Palace should tolerate his methods because he gives them their best chance of survival. If they go down, then their gambit failed. Unless they make a real, rousing fight of it then he'll very quickly lose the supporters' backing in the new season.
Still, so long as Palace don't stay up at our expense, I'm happy.

Do you mean Paul Williams? My memory is shit, but I'm pretty sure he wasn't involved in that season. The great Gerry Taggart is the name (I think) you're looking for. Anyway, I sort of agree that it's not a great job for Pulis. But, if he wants another crack at the PL within commuting distance from Sandbanks this is likely the best he'll ever be offered (unless he gets a Championship side promoted).

Perhaps you lot can get some closure now – Rimmers and naysayers.
He’s gone, ain’t coming back – (anytime soon).
Palace have got 30 games left – (90 points possible) He keeps them up? Hero.
Relegated - Hmmm --OK the parachute will do….

We were very vulnerable in that game as our defence was still getting to grips with the new system. They had a very good chance against us, but collapsed and couldn't cope with us. I'm sure there won't be too many teams that we score 2 goals against in this half of the season, either.

The interesting part will be who he tries to sign from us in January....
He needs to implement the system quickly so will want players he knows and trusts.
So, you can imagine any of the following being his targets:
Walters (less likely Hughes would let him go) Whelan Wilkinson Shotton (if he returns to us) Sorensen Wilson (if he falls out of favour) Adam (possibly) Crouch Etherington
Might he be about to pay back some of Uncle Peter's fortune?!!!

I'll be glad if he goes to Palace as it'll prove the morons making out not a single decent club will want him wrong.
Some people were even suggesting a couple of the bigger clubs in league one wouldn't touch him with a 10 foot clown pole. It's amazing how people's opinions lead them to completely lose touch with reality.
Can't see him achieving much with them though and that probably will see him have to look lower. I'd say keeping them up would be a far greater achievement than keeping us up was given what little time there is to prepare.
And fingers crossed he doesn't if we are anywhere down there.

There is no need for a loan player to return to his parent club at the end of a loan for him to be sold. If TP (or any manager) wants Shotton in January, when the window is open and if he wants to go, then he can be sold whether he is on loan to Wigan or not.
