Not sure Pulis is the sort of man to work with the attacking players theyve got like Bolasie, Kebe, Gayle, Thomas, Chamakh

 

Pulis would have them solid, but his style of football would reduce the effectiveness of all his attacking players

I'd Imagine it will be pullis. No one can save their season but he'll be able to get a big ugly team together for next season...

Pulis seem a solid choice. Can see Pearce or Curbishley being a long shot, they both know how to play attacking football.

Not sure attacking football is what Palace need. For all I'm a fan of teams who try to seize the initiative, Palace are painfully out of their depth and if they went attacking this weekend they'd probably concede double figures.

Crystal Palace will approach former Stoke City boss Tony Pulis as they seek Ian Holloway's successor as manager, according to chairman Steve Parish.


Holloway, 50, left the Eagles by mutual consent on Wednesday, with the club 19th in the Premier League table.


Pulis, 55, established Stoke in the top flight before leaving in May - and Parish wants to appoint a manager with experience at that level.


"He's never been relegated and he's out of work. We'll look," he said.

"We played a direct style under Steve Coppell in the late 80s and early 90s.


"We had two wingers, two strikers, and a strong midfield which pushed up, played it long, turned them round and scored goals.


"Palace fans are not going to be complaining about style if they can stay in the Premier League, trust me."




Pulis was appointed Stoke boss for a second time in 2006 and two years later guided them into the top flight after a 23-year absence.


Despite not finishing lower than 14th in five seasons in the Premier League, the Welshman left by mutual consent in the summer after being told the club felt the time was right for him to leave.


Stoke's direct and physical style of football often drew criticism from other supporters and managers, but Parish said the Eagles, who play Premier League leaders Arsenal on Saturday, would approach Pulis about the vacancy at Selhurst Park.


"I'm sure we'll try and contact him and if he's interested we'll have a chat with him and see where we go," he told talkSPORT. 


"But I don't want to put pressure on anybody. We've started making a list, we'll throw everybody into that and see who we want to see."


If Pulis does take charge at Palace, he will replace a man the south London club did not want to lose.

Summer changes cost Palace - Holloway



"I was more than happy to get relegated and come back up with Ian," Parish said. "The word 'sacked' has never been mentioned among the directors.


"I've spent three days trying to get Ian in the frame of mind that he can do it against Arsenal.


"You'd love to have someone in place next week but I haven't got a list. I wanted Ian to wake up and say 'sorry about the blip' and stay."


Holloway guided Palace to the Premier League via the play-offs last season after joining in November, and signed 16 players in the summer.


But the only points his squad were able to gain in eight league matches this term came in the 3-1 victory against fellow strugglers Sunderland on 31 August.


"All I can do is be as honest as I can and wish everyone at the club well," the former Blackpool manager said. "I need a little bit of time to chill out with the family, but I will look out for Palace's scores."
