Pulis's problem will be scoring enough goals. I don't see how he is going to rectify that this season.

The Guardian are saying he'll be unveiled on Monday - 2 1/2 year deal.

The similarity between Blackpool and Palace - in terms of clubs with no infrastructure and no right to be in the Prem - is striking. Holloway proved that he could be competitive in the Prem with Blackpool, but they were a better team, whereas Palace went up purely because of Zaha and Murray...

So if Dougie Freeman took most of Palace's scouting network with him to Bolton don't you think the chairman should have been all too aware of how short they were and made provision? I'm struggling to recall a manager more exhausted by a job than Holloway at his resignation press conference a...

The worry for Pulis is that once they go back down to the Championship we won't be given the funds to mount a challenge to come straight back up again. Assuming they go down you'd expect two of Sunderland, Hull, Norwich, Fulham or Cardiff to go with them. I don't see too many more instances of...

Possibly, since Petrescu poo-poo'd the post.

They could have had Pulis 4 weeks ago. Complete omnishambles.

Jermaine Pennant will feel right at home in Croydon.

Meanwhile in Relegationland Gus and Meulensteen continue to work with their new players...

These "washed up" managers might not keep Palace up but they might get them promoted back to the Prem. Steve Bruce was one such manager on that list and he's managed to get Hull up and into midtable safety. Karanka risks taking Palace down into a division he's not familiar with. It could really...
