Crystal Palace boss Hodgson reveals January plans set to be settled

Crystal Palace boss Roy Hodgson has revealed he's set to discuss their January plans - and a new contract - with chairman Steve Parish.

Palace did not invest the £50million for Aaron Wan-Bissaka in the playing squad and talks with Parish will involve future transfer budgets.

“We have put down a date next week where he wants to sit down and talk, not just about my contract but about the future of the club," said Hodgson.

“I'll canvas some of my opinions on that subject as well. I will wait and see what he has got to say and I shall make up my mind on any proposal if there are any after that.

“If they are keen on me staying, I don't think it will be a major problem but I am also fairly sanguine about that as well. It has been a long career and one day the curtain will come down on it, but I don't fear that curtain coming down. On the other hand I have got no desire to pull the cord either. If I wasn't working as I am working, I would miss it – there is no question of that. You don't rush in to put an end to something you are going to miss."
