Pulis shares credit with Palace board over dramatic change in fortunes

Crystal Palace boss Tony Pulis is ready to share the credit with his board of directors if the Eagles secure Premier League survival. Pulis has overseen nine wins in 21 league games since he was appointed and last week was tipped as a potential manager of the season by Aston Villa counterpart Paul Lambert.

But the former Stoke boss is keen to talk up the part played by co-owners Steve Parrish and Stephen Browett, and board members Martin Long and Phil Alexander.

"I'll be absolutely delighted if we can stay up," said Pulis. "Especially to do it for the supporters who have been excellent at the club, and the four directors have got to take a lot of credit.

"They've bought the club when it was in a lot of trouble and they've seen it through to promotion to the Premier League. And if we do it, they deserve a lot of credit too.
