Glasner Out

[PatrickA]

His ‘crime’ is failing to win in ten games, losing 5 out of 7 in the League, failing to qualify from the Europa League automatically despite playing the might of Finland and Cyprus’ not best teams and taking us to our worst ever defeat in the FA Cup. That would put any manager under pressure.

He then compounds this by publicly announcing he is off the day before a match and the having hypocrisy to blame the board for destabilising the team by selling a player everyone already knew was leaving in a manner that means the board cannot respond. Oh and he also makes some form of protest by refusing to make any subs or tactical changes when we are losing a game by one goal. As a coupe de gras he tells all the squad players they are rubbish and he won’t play them.

You make some valid points about his recent record and his petulance.

My point related to the fact he's gone from being viewed as the greatest thing since sliced bread to the worst person in the world in two short months which seems a tad excessive.

And standing back from the situation, do you genuinely believe the squad he has been given is fit for purpose over a 60 plus game season?

maybe not but he is quoted as saying he was/is happy with it!!

 

[Paul Salvage]

What a fickle lot we are.

It's but two months ago Glasner was being acclaimed on here as the greatest manager in our history, the only major trophy winner, suggestions that he could take us into the top 5,and prople on here were pleading with Parish to secure Glasner on a long term deal.

He's now like a combination of Andrew Windsor and Meghan , loathed and despised in equal measure with people wanting him sacked by tomorrow at the latest.

His crime?
Pointing out that the club isn't being run properly.

Do you honestly think the club is not being run properly?
The problem with success is you open yourself up for the vultures. Look what happened to the Leicester team that won the league. Clubs of our size get ripped apart in a world where it is impossible to compete on a financial basis.
Don’t hate the player, hate the game.

Two months ago he hadn’t overseen the most shambolic and embarrassing defeat I can remember, announced he was going to leave and then slagged off the Board and belittled most of the squad players - all within one week

I think Parish has done a great job overall and the progress of the club under him is there for all to see and surely beyond dispute.
I'm also content with him being a diehard fan and a safe pair of hands.

Notwithstanding this, I believe the club has demonstrated significant weakness in recent transfer windows, perhaps componded by the absence of Freedman so I can see where Glasner is coming from as he hasn't been given the adequate resources an ambitious manager seeks.
Let's face it , even mild mannered gentleman Hodgson on occasions raised an eyebrow about our transfer policy.

Let's take out the FA cup win.

We still had a record breaking season with our highest points total, off the back of selling Olise.

So - let's push on from that. You keep hold of the team and add one or two.

Adding Pinot and Canvot makes sense, in that respect.

I would have also signed a striker.

So, let's just look at the squad, with Eze staying and adding Pinot, Canvot and a striker.

That alone is a steady addition - Pinot gives options, striker gives options. Canvot can relieve a tired defence.

Now, add in AFCON - Sarr going, can pinot cover - that's the idea.

Munoz stays fit, Kamada stays fit.

That's where it lies with me... Parish takes a punt that these injuries don't happen.. and as it has shown, what we think on paper is good enough, these variables do indeed happen.

Olise is the best bit of business Bayern have done in years, unplayable yesterday from the bench too.

It is a shame his reputation has been tarnished. He delivered us the FA Cup and some brilliant football. It’s doubly a shame that his reputation is being damaged by the way he’s conducting himself. I always liked his style up to now but attacking the club in public is a bad way to go.

I also agree the squad should have been strengthened more in the summer. For me the two gaps are another striker and RWB. Admittedly not easy to find but we should have tried to address those areas. I don’t think it would have made the blindest bit of difference to whether OG stayed or not. Leaving after two seasons was always his plan.

However, it can be simultaneously true that the squad is light but results aren’t good enough and OG’s conduct isn’t acceptable.

Fickle no, loyal to our club yes. Players, managers, owners move through the club, supporters don’t so we are totally within our rights to call out shitty behaviour. We already know our transfer business isn’t great, it’s not news to us, in fact we’ve probably only had a couple of decent windowsin the last 5 years.

What Glasner has done is totally unprofessional and despite his undoubted coaching abilities, if I was an owner looking to perhaps bring him in, his behaviour would be a massive red flag.

Glasner needs to read the room before he takes a job, do his own due diligence and if the clubs ambition doesn’t match his own then don’t take the job to start with.

Thanks for the memories Olly but you have soured your legacy with our club massively.

I remember that he once said, that he didn't watch the end of the window on deadline day, because he was already in bed. So maybe he didn't. 😉

Pulis. Do we like him?

 

[PatrickA]

From the journalist Martin Samuel and worth a read as it sets out Parish's view on the problems that clubs like Palace face. The big clubs don't want to invite others in to join the party.

 

[rikz]

He seems pretty disappointed with the club just being happy staying up. I'd be pretty ecstatic with a European cup and survival, Glasner, lower your ambitions for this season, take a page out of big ange's book, forget the league, win the conference league, then go off and live out your ambitions somewhere else. Thanks in advance.

Caught out by the chairman's hairdresser.

Premier League football truly is an ugly reflection of society.

Remind us of that story again please?

 

[mileend]

Pulis. Do we like him?

He did an incredible job and none of what has followed would have happened if it weren't for him

No, as a person I do not like him. No, I do not like his football philosophy. For what he did for Palace I bloody love him.

Then what happened was that he left in a way that caused the maximum damage to Crystal Palace. He was sued and lost and had to pay us millions.

I can't think of another time when a Crystal Palace manager left while attempting to wreak havoc - oh hold on - and I'm not thinking of Venables

 

[Eaglecoops]

Pulis. Do we like him?

What that thieving f@@@ face, a@@&ole. Yes, good manager.

 

[Penge Eagle]

No ambitious manager who wants to ply his trade at the top level will want to join us in that case. Only someone who wants a steady wage, doing enough not to get the sack. That means boring survival football and no ambition when we get to a certain points tally each season. No thanks.

Yes, it's why the chairman loved Roy Hodgson so much!

 

[ASCPFC]

All money on Joey Barton then?

We could do with someone tough but perhaps not him.

 

[chris123]

Remind us of that story again please?

Pulis said there had been a meeting attended by himself, the chairman and a couple of players when a deal regarding his severance was agreed. Steve was able to prove to the Judges satisfaction that it was impossible as he was having his hair done, a lengthy process and he was not at the club at the time Pulis claimed.
