Crystal Palace co-chairman Stephen Browett says manager Neil Warnock was the right choice.
Warnock was at the helm between 2007 and 2010, guiding the Eagles to the Championship play-off semi-finals in 2008 before departing for QPR when the club went into administration.
And Browett insists he is the correct choice, he told the South London Press: "He is a sensible fit. Neil is very, very experienced and is not a million miles away from Tony Pulis in management style and experience.
"We didn't want radical change from what we had under Tony (Pulis).
"With the group of lads we've got and the fantastic team spirit there, it was really important to have as little disruption as possible - albeit that when a manager walks out two days before the season starts it is impossible to have no disruption.
"Neil is a safe pair of hands - he is not going to try and reinvent the wheel."
