Wilf has neither said or done anything detrimental.
All conjecture and hype is by the media and us.
He is behaving impeccably in my opinion.

He has one of the worst attitudes / temperaments in English football, both on and off the pitch. I have numerous dealings with the club, players and staff and speak from personal experience.

Interesting you should say this. I have wondered if he is on the personality disorder spectrum as some of his repeated behaviours do point in that direction.

I kinda felt that Wilf,s petulant attitude had been formed mostly out of frustration that his career path had stalled, when he had the opportunity for the big time (UTD) it didnt pan out as he had hoped & then again several years later when he felt he was on the verge of a second upward move chance with Arsenal their bid fell short of our aspirations both in what was on offer & what it would cost for Palace to replace him -

He now has an opportunity to make his own decision ( well at the end of the season anyway) so he can see who offers what & then make a decision - it will be interesting for him to see ( & of course us) what kind of offers come in for him -

I hope for our sake that if he is going he goes early in the window so we know where we stand & can make a proper plan for life without him - worst outcome for palace is that he decides on the even of the window closing that he is off -

Agree with a lot of this.

As for Wilf being disappointed with his career path I would imagine that is spot on. Whether we like it or not he has been the biggest fish in our relatively small pond for some time now and I think he has always somewhat resented that.

The problem is however that he has to take the responsibility for this. I honestly don’t think any huge clubs were interested in him for a couple reasons: firstly being that his style of play is very individual and therefore his ability to contribute to a team effort was near non existent and secondly his temperament which I would believe has meant a lot of top clubs and managers would not even entertain the touching of a barge pole.

If he was ever going to play at the highest level he needed to address this in both adding to his game and adopting a maturer, ‘consummate professional’ attitude and he has only ever addressed the former which has somewhat coincided, and therefore I’m inclined to believe been adapted, due to the drop in his energy levels and pace.

United came very early and was bad timing in being signed by Ferguson but then him leaving however once again he has only the mirror for investigation if he ends his career having not achieved that he might think he was capable of. I also believe the aforementioned cost him his real shot with England.

The hope is and always had been that his departure would spark a new identity for palace and one that does not hinge almost exclusively on a single player. If he does go however recent history does not inspire me to believe this will happen. If he stays, it may well see Anelka’s ‘incredible sulk’ status threatened and that could be highly damaging.

 


Now Zaha's got a bit of green grass ahead of him here... and finds Ambrose... not a bad effort!!!!

Wilf won't receive offers nearly as generous as he'd wish, but he'll receive offers higher than what we're willing to pay him.

At that point, he'll need to decide between taking the risk of seeing less playing time elsewhere and remaining a star at Palace.

Also it could be argued that this time of joining us -
he has only recently had 4 years with us so he knows the place virtually inside out with a few of the new player exceptions, so he wont need to have that steep learning curve that new managers often have to go through -
He has been appointed for the remaining 11 games -probably one single KPI (Dont get relegated) so every game for him & the club should be treated like a cup final, he will have a clear & concise brief, no other long term thoughts to get in the way, he only has to get hold of the team & drag them over the line -
At the end of the season his role is done -
At 76? ish no matter how grateful we are for what he does or doesn't do in those remaining matches its highly unlikely that he is going to be offered or accept another full season at CPFC -

Just to say we have played 28 games so far so we have 10 games left not 11. I'd take an extra game if it was Bournemouth though.

Macca spoke highly of him recently in an article posted the other day. Saying he's a winner and a role model for younger players!

He may well be, and should be, a role model for younger players but he's only a winner in as much as he wants to win, how many players don't? But surely winning things is part of it too.

I work with kids with behavioural issues - heck, you only need to compare wilf to other top pro's - Wilf's highly emotional and is lacking a good leadership role in his life that can connect with him and steer him the right way.
Wilf may not even be able to help such emotional issues, as if often the case.

 


This was once a quality forum....

Interviews with current footballers aren't worth the paper they are printed on. I learned that from reading Shoot! in the late-1960s and then from countless 'A word from the captain' columns in match programmes, home and away. They always tow the club line and never say anything controversial and rarely anything interesting for that matter.

Apparently he has been offered £9m a year in the Middle East, I expect he would play every game in an obscure league.

They are probably all ghost written anyway
