Whilst i am pleased that a fiery personality is in charge, it does seem to have been met badly on other football forums, suggesting he isn't a good fit with a no nonsense chairmen at the helm, that palace fitted him perfectly because he could work with players like Puncheon and Bolasie to taylor to his needs. I guess time will tell, no surprise stokies are bringing up the old 'rather be relegated than have pulis' line we used to dish it when we played against them. However, one thing rings true is that he nearly always knew how to beat us, so will know how to make us a well drilled team. Something akin to Roy and i'll be happy, as we were pretty unpredictable but played very well away, hopefully we can translate that to home performances ala Fortress Hawthorns.
