No matter what happens every player owner and member of coaching staff will be heroes. And if we stay up everyone involved including us for out great support will deserve knighthoods!!!

Anyone with a half a football brain could see he was the man to give us the best chance of staying up.
I wanted him from the off and felt frustrated that a lot of our support fell in love with the idea of a foreign coach and the idea to build a club.
It doesn't happen anymore (loyalty in football)
If you had to bet on all the managers in the bottom 10 keeping you up TP would come up trumps every time.
We are lucky to have him.

The world was a mess but his hair was perfect!

He wasn't the man for me - mainly through reputation I might add.
I thought however that he would be good for us and so it has proved.
I need to eat some humble pie here and so will choke shortly.
He has been brilliant and everything he does he does for a real reason - not just to try something out.
He believes in what he is doing and the players will have bought in to that philosophy.
He can do no wrong now in my eyes and the football is better than expected - no neck brace needed.
Whether we can stay up remains to be seen but had we had him from the start of the season we would likely be safe already!
I am going tomorrow and will be watching - albeit from a comfy seat - and supporting CPFC in what will be a tight game.
Thank you Mr Pulis and thank you CPFC 2010!

TP was the man I wanted from the get go but he has already achieved more than I expected - particularly with the style of football we are now capable of.

What is good is that the vast majority of fans simply trust the guy. They trust his team selection and they trusted he would choose the right players for us in the transfer market. It is a long, long time since I have witnessed such accord and long may that continue.

I was gonna comment on this earlier but decided I couldn't be bothered. All the things that the 'anti Pulis brigade' did, doesn't exist outside of his own head.

People are always doing this, drives me batty!

I think I know what he was trying to say, albeit not very articulately. Before TP came the main concerns seemed to be the style of football he was supposedly going to play (predominantly long ball, low on possession and based on strength/height rather than technical ability) and the kind of players he would supposedly bring in (ageing, big, strong, on high fees and massive wages with little sell-on value).

People also thought he wasn't interested in bringing young players through and had spent vast sums at Stoke to establish them as prem regulars. (The latter point is valid, but has not so far been replicated at Palace.)

These concerns were widespread on here and the BBS and many people didn't want TP and preferred a young, possibly foreign coach who used a more technical, possession-based style of play.

Of course since he's been here Pulis has confounded these expectations and his style of play has not been what many expected, he has bought sensibly and hasn't been afraid to use smaller and younger players.

So the "anti-Pulis brigade", as Eagles-Mad puts it, were vocal before he came but have now changed their view and are very happy with how things have gone, which has probably exceeded all our expectations.

That's my take on it anyway, for what it's worth.
