While I think our expectations for next season have to be realistic I do believe that now is the time for Parish and his co-directors to have long and detailed discussions with Pulis. The most important items on the agenda are the immediate additions to the current team which I reckon are at least four good signings. Then the ground which depends on the longer term plans because if we would be able to go for a 50k seater stadium would we be able to fill it?. There is a need to keep a strong eye on the finances as we plan. The training ground facilities have to be improved as Pulis has already indicated. Overall I would say lets try and aim for a mid-table berth for next year and then review our plans again. Our future is, in all probability, a moving target so its all a question of planning and reviewing as we go along but having said that,we must also have a semblance of an idea as to what we want.

Like Stoke?

Bit boring though. For Palace.

50k may be a bit much, but 40+k is a worthwhile size. Palace have a solid base of 17-19k regrdless of the division and so there's not much they can do to increase gate receipts currently. I think they'll get closer to 30k as an average in the Prem, plus you get to fill it up for the big games, both in the league and the cup.

In lieu of an interested oligarch (who are more often than not a disaster), revenue is king for Palace. That means a bigger stadium is a priority.

We don't do possession; we do defense and attack. Everything else is just wa**ing with a football.

All of this with bells on!

And I see signs of half remembered days, I hear bells that chime in strange familiar ways

I'd expect a scrap all season long, flirting with relegation. But, so long as we don't go down, I'd be happy. I'd like to see Murray back on form to give us some real threat on goal, but I wouldn't want to see too many come in over the summer. We need to work on the unit, thats what we've done so well so far.
