TP (Tony Pulis) and the board will this summer decide who leaves Palace. 12 have already been released. Without doubt others will be made available. Who though?

The beauty of having TP as manager is that he will not show loyalty. Both promoted & survived clubs are often guilty of this. Especially when they find themselves at such a juncture - bank the money? Push on?

How many times have you heard a promoted manager say, "I want to give a chance to the players who got us here." I wonder if Nigel Pearson will say it about David Nugent. He seems more intelligent than that.

The same goes for survived clubs, like us. It's why "2nd Season Syndrome" exists.

TP is too good a manager afford a player loyalty. I point to his intent to replace Speroni with Hennessey. He didn't care one jot about his number of appearances or cult status.
Jules of course didn't allow himself to be dropped.

Pulis knows he must upgrade our squad. Leicester, QPR and those that placed 12th-17th will spend. We can't fall behind.

So who's for the chop?

I, an ardent fan, would show no loyalty to Paddy McCarthy. Unlike Jules, he wont cut it.
Price, Hunt, Ramage, Garvan, Campana, Dobbie, Thomas and Kebe? Regular bench warmers Guedioura and Bannan? Joniesta? All were loaned out or largely uninvolved last year.

To put in another pennies worth - I would let KG go, but that's an issue for another day...
