But we haven't got rid so the analogy has no relevance.

So rubbish that he secured our first two major trophies.
It’s not about keeping you happy.

He didn't, Coppell won the 1st division which come with a trophy, that was major & also won our 1st trophy at Wembley, that also was major. Or, didn't you support/follow Palace before 1992? Not a piss takeQ? Genuine.

The ZDS was not and never could be considered a ‘Major’ trophy and neither is winning the equivalent of the second tier.

Alan Smith was manager the year we won Division One.

Winning the league you are in is always an accomplishment.

The zds certainly did not have the status of the fa cup or the league cup, but it was worthy of a final at Wembley and I remember being in the ground and watching Palace win. So as far as I am concerned it was still a trophy won at the home of football.

Absolutely. Agree with everything you say and I was there to enjoy it all. It was a fantastic feeling beating Everton and particularly with all of Martin Keown’s gamesmanship.
The FA Cup and The Charity Shield were our first two major trophies, both won with OG at the helm.

What about winning the FA Youth Cup twice in 1977 and 1978?

I also agree that OG won our first two major trophies, however if Clattenburg didn’t rob us in 2016 it could have been Pardew. Similarly if Deano gets sent off (we all know he should have) then there is no way we beat City and then not qualify for the Charity shield.
The fa cup is so hard to win especially for a team of our standing, so for that I will be forever grateful to OG, but I also recognise that we had some luck (finally) in the final.

We won it since then as well didn't we? We also won Division 3 South.
Even Guehi was not an experienced signing for us. If clubs like ours sign an experienced player it’s more likely they are past their best and no one else wants them. We try to develop inexperienced players instead.

If winning major trophies is the measure then Glasner has to be our most successful manager. That doesn’t mean he’s the best. What Steve Coppell achieved with very little money and a team cobbled together was outstanding. I was in Liverpool the day we lost 9-0. To then beat them a couple of weeks later in the FA cup semifinal was a huge achievement. We should have won that final and there would be no doubt over who was best.
We then achieved 3rd place in the league and in the absence of European football won the ZDS trophy. In Wright and Bright we had the best striker force we’ve ever had. Nigel Martyn was the best keeper we’ve had and John Salako probably the most talented player we’ve had. That team was far superior to our current side and Steve was a far better coach than Ollie will ever be. He was also loyal and prepared to step in to help us on a number of occasions when managers left. No contest. He was the best by a distance .

Oh dear...
FA Cup > ZDS Trophy
Winning the 1st Division (equivalent of the Championship) is not a major trophy and that accolade wasn't even Coppell's.
He likely is our greatest ever manager, however. But not our most successful.
Its original name 'The Full Members' cup had in my opinion more credence than when Zenith Data Systems sponsored and renamed it.
At the time we won it this did mean something. When you look at how the importance of domestic cups has faded since Sky and the Premiership I think its fair to say the ZDS cup when we won it had around the same importance as winning the Carabao cup today.

Indeed, I wasn’t ranking them in any order, merely addressing Lanzo’s preposterous accusation that ‘Glasner had shown himself to be rubbish’. He clearly isn’t / hasn’t.
