Crystal Palace chairman Simon Jordan has given his backing to manager Neil Warnock after the pair met to discuss their plans for the club.
The Eagles boss met up with the chairman before he returns to his home in Spain this week and told him what he wanted to do over the summer as he aims to improve on this season's fifth-place in the league and play-off semi-final defeat to Bristol City.
Warnock said: "It went fairly good. We had a good chat about everything and I told him what I thought we needed and he said he was going to try and help me get what I wanted."

Warnock is thought to be tracking a number of players in order to bolster his squad, which looks set to be depleted by the summer departure of teenager John Bostock who is understood to have agreed a deal to join Tottenham Hotspur.
The midfielder has stalled on signing his first professional deal since turning 16 in January and seems to have decided to join the North London club for a rumoured £5m.
Other players likely to leave the Eagles nest include keeper Scott Flinders who will go in search of first team football after spending the season as second-fiddle to Julian Speroni and being loaned out to Yeovil and Blackpool.
Bristol Rovers manager Paul Trollope meanwhile has revealed a move for defender Jeff Hughes is close to completion.
Hughes was loaned out to Bristol in March but failed to make an appearance after suffering an ankle injury in his first reserve game for the club, but now it seems a permanent deal has been agreed.
Trollope said: "With Palace exiting the play-offs against City it might well work to our advantage in terms of his wages and what would have happened had they won promotion.
"But he's now agreed to come here and it's more or less all agreed between ourselves and him.
"There are one or two issues outstanding, but now that Palace's future has been resolved hopefully it will accelerate things."
