Palace will soon be a tough nut to crack and although won't immediately start challenging for Europe, Allardyce will steady the ship and get them in a safe position. If CP do the 'old sack him later so they can kick on' routine they'll either be in a far better position to actually do it or make a complete fuck up of it and slide back into no man's land.
A bit like Bruce at the Villa IMO. Just what both clubs need right now - not some optimistic time in the future.
