Pulis Palace ambitions lie beyond survival

New Crystal Palace boss Tony Pulis insists he's more than just a management firefighter.

Pulis believes his reputation for dragging teams away from the drop - he has never been relegated - is undeserved as he takes charge of a Palace side that have taken seven points from 12 games.

"What people don't talk about is that I've been promoted out of every division and been to an FA Cup Final," he said. "People talk about me being a firefighter but I have also been very successful. It annoys me that in this country you get pigeonholed for certain things."
