Palace, who are 14th in the Premier League, missed out on two potential signings in.

And they have only spent 5m on new recruits in three windows.

Hodgson said: The club have presented me with a contract, which I got just before we went away last week.

If Im going to stay its because I believe the funds will be made available.
