Palace must be the only club in the country whose fans are actually looking forward to having someone like Pulis in charge....is this what Parrish meant by getting someone who fitted with the Palace style?

Yes. He managed to achieve the worst win/loss record of any previous manager.

They weren't, many were distraught at the thought. Then their tin pot board reminded them how unprofessional an outfit they were and now they are disparate for anyone other than Dowie. If pulis drops out they'll be creaming themselves about Dowie.
I can't decide; big wages and yet more transfers in January with.inevitable relegation or Dowie and just tin pot reinforced. Difficult decision.

Maybe, but will need to ship out all players shorter than 6'1" and bring in some giants in January - does he know any other way?

And here endeth the career of Jonathan Williams.
On a positive though, Jedinak will flourish.

I can see us putting in a cheeky little low bid for him in Jan - payback time.

They will need someone to take the free kicks / corners... can Williams do that?

Although people will mock his style of play, he will probably do a good job there. He will be their best chance of staying up. At least he wont come knocking for our players, none of them will suit his style.

I love the fact that Palace have announced they are disappointed in the calibre of the applicants for their managers job . So if Pulis does take the job he now knows that initially Palace felt he was not good enough for the job but after looking everywhere else they feel they can't find anyone better so he'll do.
I predict trouble ahead

Bet Parish and co are smashing the boardroom up as we speak at the thought of paying him £2m a year on a 4 year deal plus the signing on fee.

If they appoint Pulis then the board will need to splash the cash in a big way. This from a Guardian blog in March this year:
http://www.theguardian.com/football/blog/2013/mar/20/tony-pulis-stoke-city
Stoke's net spend over the past five seasons is not far off £80m. To put that figure into context, only Manchester City and Chelsea have spent more. "On transfer fees and money spent on the first team, nobody can question the Coates family on the amount of money they have invested in this football club," Pulis said on Tuesday, after it was reported that one of the reasons he was considering his position in the summer was that he was frustrated with the amount of money being pumped into the academy instead of going into his transfer budget.
Yes. I rather like the sound of Tony Pulis in charge of Palace.

I agree with this wholeheartedly - 'style of play' snobbery annoys me.
If Pulis was manager of the Albion and we were scrapping away in the Premier League and holding our own, the Amex would be full and there'd be very, very few complaints about the style of play.

We didn't say that though. Holloway was a manager still in work, who had a decent play off record at this level, and most of you lot seemed relatively pleased at the time.
Pulis is a different kettle of fish, as not only is he a dinosaur of the game, and a man that none of you want, but he's also seemingly about fifteenth choice for the position, ahead of only Dowie in the least popular stakes.
This is bloody marvellous
