My interpretation of TP's statement (and, of course, I may be wrong) is that Wilf is so important to us at present that we are unable to make progress without him. Our results without him prove that.
When Wilf plays the plan (and I won't call it Plan A because there is no Plan B etc.) is to give him the ball as much as possible and hope he can weave his magic and get us a goal or create the opportunity for someone else to do so.
When Wilf doesn't play we don't seem to know what to do when it comes to attacking and waste so many promising opportunities through dithering and dallying wondering who to pass to because there's no Wilf.
We need to create a culture and system for when there is no Wilf, but unfortunately, whilst Wilf remains, we seem incapable of doing that. Ergo, Wilf needs to go before it's too late.
As for Roy, his time to go is near BUT I'm not sure we can afford to lose both him and Wilf at the same time.

As an aside, I saw a rumour on the Beeb that Arsenal may want to offload Pepe if they can get enough for him - going for Wilf instead?

Quite possible that we will go down if Wilf goes. However, if he goes (rather than not playing because he's injured or Covided) then the psychology and dynamic changes. The club would have to devise a new system of play. How successful that would be is anybody's guess, but there is a big difference between Wilf's temporary and permanent absence - both manager and first team squad will have to adapt or 'die' in the case of the latter.

Watching Palace currently gives we supporters a modicum of pleasure only Can SP make big decisions replacing Zaha who will surely leave the club getting rid of deadwood and aged players with fading talents,RH and RL who are surely now past their sale date ,bringing in youth and a totally different mindset A big ask! I fear the consequences if he does not

Cannot understand the lack of work, and quality knowing that 6 points were almost a gift against Burnley & Newcastle based on their own deficiencies, and yet we now find ourselves in a precarious position. Lose to WBA and is all over for 2020/1. It will be another struggle staring Championship Football in the face What happened to pride and doing the job they are handsomely paid for. How can you beat Leeds 4-1 and then become pathetic, in following matches. Even easy passes are embarrassing too short or too fast and long ( on your own pitch for goodness sake) Palace wake up to the fact you have enough good players but without purpose.
Change Roy NOW before its beyond repair, to someone with fire in their body, to take the club forward.
Ive said enough, Im just sick and tired of the same old same old............. Just do it Parish!

Last season Wilf was not great and Roy found a way to win ugly, with a series of insipid 1-0 wins and never scoring more than 2 goals a game. This season Wilf has returned and in a number of games he has inspired us to victory. With Ayew not starting the season well, Bentenke still having no confidence and Batshuayi seemingly unable to stay onside, if Wilf is out for any significant number of games this season we could really struggle based on the last two games. In fairness, you take the best player out of any team outside of the big 6 and they will generally struggle to perform as well. I seem to remember when Vardy was out Leicester couldn't buy a win (until they played us!)

I am sure Mr Pochettino has been pining for the job at CPFC and praying to the good Lord that an offer comes his way.

-.-'

I heard that growing up as a young boy he modelled his game on Billy Gilbert.

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

He stood proud on the old Holmesdale drinking Bovril. Good old Poch.

Red and Blue Army!

Oh I know it's highly unlikely. I'm sticking with Freedman to take over in the New Year :p

If he said '' yes '' I wouldn't say anything. I'd be speechless !
