Crystal Palace are close to confirming Tony Pulis as their new manager.The 55-year-old, who has been out of work since leaving Stoke at the end of last season,
is finalising the deal, which is expected to be completed on Saturday.He will succeed Ian Holloway, who left Selhurst Park on 23 October by mutual consent.
Palace are bottom of the Premier League, with four points from 11 games, going into Saturday's match at Hull.
The club's hierarchy returned to Pulis, who has been among the front-runners for the job since Holloway's exit,
after being disappointed by the calibre of the other candidates who had applied.
