Eagles Board Give Backing To Manager
In what was one of the shocks of last season being Palace suffering relegation from the Premiership, the club have today given their backing to the Manager to stay in his role at Selhurst Park and get the club back into the top tier of TDE. In the space of three seasons, the club have won the Premiership to then lose out back to back titles on goal difference to being relegated, the lottery that TDE is but despite many around the club wondering whether the Manager should or would be replaced, those rumours have been put to bed with the news that the Manager will be in the dug out to see out the final season of his contract.
Speaking to the media earlier this afternoon from Copers Cope, the Palace gaffer had this to say ;
" Please to be taking this team into what will be one of the toughest seasons for some time. I've got them promoted before and we will be looking to do that once again. We wont be looking past this season, I have one season left on my deal and I'm sure this season will determine if that is extended or not but the battle is one we are up for and one we will go into looking to deliver some success to the club.
Right now, we have a few offers to look at, if any of them are of interest we could see some transfer business happening ".

Eagles Boss Puts Off Field Drama Aside To Issue Warning To Fellow Clubs
Its been a disaster season and a half for Crystal Palace following their relegation to the Championship with the club deciding against making a change at the top and backing the Manager to restore Premiership status but its been the opposite as injuries to key players has seen them take just three wins from thirteen games which has resulted in the club sitting ninth place in the table.
With a public outburst by the Place boss some weeks ago, the club still kept faith in the Manager despite the poor results and with a media black out from the Eagles, nobody really knew what was happening behind the scenes....until now with the Manager speaking after the Blackburn game to issue a warning that his side are firmly challenging to sides above them and will do everything they can to put pressure on the sides and close the gap on the sides occupying the money places in the league.
Speaking to Talksport earlier this morning, the Eagles boss had this to say,
" I'm fully aware of the pressures that surround this job and the fact that we have struggled this season but when you take a top keeper out for nine games, it will hurt any side. We tried to bring in a replacement but were not able to so we went with what we had and Owen Goodman did us proud although the results were not what anybody wanted.
We got a massive win against Blackburn yesterday and we now need to push on and get our season started which is crazy saying that after round thirteen but this is a top squad of players and I have every confidence that we can still have a say in the promotion race.
Right now, some players are playing for their futures as I am for my future as Manager. There is no talk about an extension to my deal at Selhurst so as it stands, this could well be my last in this role. It snow up to us to get our season back on track and get the points on the board and push into the playoff places which I have every confidence of doing ".

Re: Crystal Palace News
Eagles Confirm No Management Change After Promotion Failure
News from Crystal Palace this afternoon is that they have agreed a two season contract extension with their current Manager to end speculation of a change in the dugout following the clubs failure to bounce back to the Premiership.
Even though Palace managed to hold onto their better players this season with the view of an instant return to the top tier, all speculation surrounding Selhurst Park right now is that they will face a battle to hold onto in demand players like Ethan Ampadu, Noni Madueke, Michael Olise, Xavi Simons and Evan Ferguson who have all seen bids received by Palace in recent weeks.
With the Manager situation now sorted out for the next two seasons, its all focus now on trying to get through to the new season start with the squad intact which may prove difficult as the Manager said today.
" Its been a tough couple of seasons really at Palace but we go again with fresh optimism of improving and trying to better ourselves. My position isn't really important right now. If I wasn't Manager, someone else would be and the club would continue with pre season but we do have to be realistic in our hopes going into the new season in terms of who stays and who goes.
Last season we had the commitment from the squad but right now, we have plenty of transfer interest in our players which may force our hand as the message from the board is that I have to sell before I can buy which is understandable after the season the club has been on.
Honest answer, I don't know who will leave. We have a few good offers on the table ".

Re: Crystal Palace News
Eagles Dip Toes In Transfer Madness
One of the high lights of the season is the transfer window which so far has seen some big deals in the game happen but up until yesterday, saw Palace not looking likely of doing anything other than trying to keep players at Selhurst Park following their failure to win promotion back to the Premiership at the first hurdle which in turn, look set to activate clauses in some of the first team squad allowing them moves away should the club receive suitable deals.
The club confirmed last week that Swansea City had opted to to extend a second season loan deal for Ismael Gaharbi who enjoyed a successful loan last season and that Adam Wharton was in talks with Wolves regarding a loan deal away from South London which has now been agreed but nothing in terms of permanent in and out goings.
At the time of going to press, as the Manager left the Beckenham training ground, rumours were gathering pace that there will be a few players leaving the club after Marc Guehi, Noni Madueke, Xavi Simons and Matheus Franca had all been given permission to discuss personal terms with other clubs, a massive blow to the club.
The Manager had this to say as he left ;
" Its been a very busy day and we will release news over the coming days but its now certain that we will be seeing some changes in the squad whch we tried so hard to avoid.
We had the luxury of keeping the squad intact following relegation but with clauses allowing some to leave if we fail to go back up, these have been activated by some clubs and we are now powerless to stop them leaving ".
