A friend of mine once backed a horse at 50-1, and won a fair wedge. Relegation can still happen, but no doubt plans for either scenario are already being constructed, or are in place. I disengage, I turn the page.

I backed Connacht to beat Toulouse in the European rugby cup once on the basis that I saw they were 100/1, while in there to bet on a football accumulator. They won. Optimistic as ever

If we stay up we will need one heck of a Summer if we have any chance of having a better season next year. A huge amount depends on Roy staying another season.

Roy is under contract, so its up to Palace if they want him to continue. He doesn't strike me to be as shallow as Dowie, Pulis and Allardyce, more of an old fashion man with morals.

Keeping Roy and Wilf is essential for our survival. Why on earth would we set a price for Wilf? So that other clubs can see how much budget we have for his replacement?! Thing is we’ll need an entire new game plan if Wilf goes and there’s a good chance of us failing to do it. Continuity of management would be highly welcomed on many levels - and I don’t think Roy is going anywhere.

It needn’t be that complicated or hard to recruit in the off season. The Watford’s and Burnley’s seem to do well each year with minimal fuss. We’ve shown that we can be quite succinct in the past with signings like Tomkins. Pretty sure that we’ll have our ducks in line this summer and get things done nice and early. We had the f*ckeries of FDB to contend with last summer and I think it’s left a lot of fans with the jitters. "We love you Palace, we f@cking hate Man U, We love you Palace, we hate the brighton too, We love you Palace we play in red 'n' blue, so f@ck you, and you ...

Originally posted by Painter Set a price fir Wilf, why? That's just saying to him, he isn't wanted and we want to sell him. I'm not saying the price necessarily has to be public knowledge. We just need to be clear about our valuation early and if it's not met by x date, he stays. The critical thing is that we have certainty in Wilf EARLY in the window. Roy is under contract, so its up to Palace if they want him to continue. He doesn't strike me to be as shallow as Dowie, Pulis and Allardyce, more of an old fashion man with morals. Definitely more moral fibre than those two but he might genuinely want to retire and I have no doubt we would let him.
