Both have had an incredible impact in their first season with us but who achievement is the best? I personally think TP purely because of the quality of the opposition but Dowie's was pretty spectacular too.

Pulis or Coppell, Dowie had one good season. Choked it in the Premiership, then choked it in the playoffs, before going off to choke on pikey co*k.

There's a reason why Pulis is still a manager, and Dowie is an occassional freak show pundit and roving reporter for Sky Sports.

Is this a serious question?

Pulis has achieved that which no other Palace manager has achieved in the Premiership era.

End of!

Pulis every day of the week, that's not taking anything away from Dowie's achievement in his first season which was incredible but Pulis has done it against the best in the business and come up trumps. A great no nonsense football man ...

As Cucking said, TP has demonstrated he's not a one trick pony, whereas Dowie....

Let's face it, apart from our first season with Dowie what the hell has he achieved?

Indeed, Dowie achieved a spectacular result on the basis of his capacity to motivate. He already had a very good squad, that was lacking belief, direction and confidence.

Its worth noting that without his brother, Dowie was judged a failure everywhere else he went. One trick pony is being generous. I suspect anyone with a basic knowledge of football, but good understanding of motivational psychology could have achieved similar results.
