This is the biggest summer for the club in many a year. We need to set a price for Wilf and a deadline by when it needs to be hit. We need an early confirmation from Roy that he wants to stay. We need to work through all the out-of-contract players fast and work out which want the shilling we're willing to offer, and which don't. We have a world cup to contend with and a window that shuts on Aug 9. With so many variables and so little time, we could be in serious trouble if we don't make fast, good decisions. All this, and I personally am assuming our net transfer budget won't be vast given recent expenditure.
Very true. The worry is we are again in an Allardyce situation. Speaking on the radio about Everton, maybe he will be returning if Roy hangs up the reigns ?

Great post. I have to confess that I am a pessimist ("no, really") and all season (every season) I have been expecting the worst. Just a whiff now that we might be all right. 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.

Set a price fir Wilf, why? That's just saying to him, he isn't wanted and we want to sell him.

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. Even an old fashioned man with morals might think that enough is enough if he isn't backed properly in the transfer market

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.

Definitely more moral fibre than those two but he might genuinely want to retire and I have no doubt we would let him. Edited by Ginger Pubic Wig (24 Apr 2018 6.35am)
