HE'S the new man in the Selhurst Park hotseat and has been tasked to keep Crystal Palace up.
Tony Pulis arrived at Hull City's KC Stadium at 1.30pm with co-chairman Steve Parish - and he looked delighted.
After signing autographs and posing for photographs with a number of Palace fans, Pulis made his way in with Parish.
We spoke to fans on the appointment to get their reaction to the news this lunchtime.
"Buzzing! He's definitely the man to keep us up", said Dave Allen.
"He will sort out the men from the boys in the squad and bring some organisation."
"He's got a lot of experience and did a great job at Stoke City," added Pete Collier.
"I believe we'll get a result up here today and then there could be some changes comes January."
"I've been a Palace fan for 50 years - finally we have a new man in," said Kevin Burrows.
"We all just need to get behind him now. He's an experienced man and something needed to happen quite clearly.
"I do think Keith Millen has done a terrific job. A lot of Palace fans are questioning is Pulis what we want, but what you want isn't always what you need, if you like."
"I'm not too happy with the appointment," said Steve Green.
"I think it will be interesting and I believe he's going to play the Neil Warnock from what I've heard.
"I hope the club have guaranteed him a few quid in January but he's not my ideal candidate.
"The important thing is he keeps us up. I think there will a few changes in January, maybe even some leaving.
"I think he'll bring in three our four new players.
"I think it could be our first three points on the road this season today."
"He probably would not have been my first choice but I'm glad they've got someone in," said Palace fan Kieron.
"I think he will have to make some changes, possibly up front.
"It's taken far too long, but the club were never going to pick and up and coming youngster.
"I think he's a good best as he's never been relegated.
"It will be big boost for the players today - and they're playing for their futures too."Palace fans, are you happy with Tony Pulis' arrival? Have your say below!
