If the only way to get rid of OG is for us to lose, then I hope he stays until the end of the season.

It isn't though. He could resign or be sacked. And already should have been. Look at our results for the last fourteen games and see what you think.

Glasner won't be got rid until an appropriate replacement is ready to take over. My own thoughts are that a short-term replacement to steady the ship is not the best option.
Perhaps the Board have someone in mind for the long-term, but they aren't available , yet.
Now we are getting more of the squad available, I would like to think Glasner can turn results.

Who cares? I stopped listening a while ago.

I don't think a manager who's leaving can turn results. Best thing that can be done is a team meeting and a reminder of all the relegation pay cuts. From Parish - not from Glasner. Glasner has undermined any authority he had.

Good points. But I would think the players are aware of the financial impact on their wages that relegation would have. Not only that, but if they want a transfer, better put on a good performance to put yourself in prime place in the shop window.
Players that get relegated, aren't usually in demand. Andy Johnson being not the only exception.

I agree with you - I said earlier in the thread, the impact sacking Glasner now has on our next appointment is enormous. I'm not fully convinced the upside of sacking him is worth the risk of f***ing up our next hire.
The bookies still see our relegation as about as likely as Brentford finishing in the top four.

The managerial situation at Palace exists because Steve Parish has determined that it's the best way forward for now.
It's a bold and unusual call in an industry where sackings are a part of everyday life.
My guess is that he thinks that Glasners European experience is now his most useful asset as that's the only way that we can win a trophy this season. And that we have just about enough about us to avoid relegation.
If we look at the other clubs around us, Forest are a basket case. Would you feel comfortable if Palace had burned through three Head Coaches if Glasner had been sacked in October ? Or Spurs bringing in someone with no Premier League experience ??
Sometimes doing nothing is the best option. And we have to hope Parish has called it right in this instance.

The media spinning yet again :
T Frank - he’s failed so many times he must come good at some point
S Dyche - the croaky voice gets ppl attention, well sometimes
F Lampard - if the midlands can understand he why can’t south Londoners
A Mountbatten - with a room full of teddy bears, likes pizza, only 1 interview was a car , bus,ship , plane crash & deny everything
Plus he needs an outlet 🤣

Re: It's a bold and unusual call in an industry where sackings are a part of everyday life.
I don't think so, likely it's a money-saving ploy so he doesn't have to pay up the remaining months on Glasner's contract. Very short-sighted in my opinion. A temporary replacement now would be better than the uncertainty of struggling on with someone who has lost interest in Palace.

I disagree - obviously none of us know for sure, but we can't be talking more than a few million to pay Glasner off at this point, with only around 4 months left on his contract - I can't imagine we would allow such a relatively small figure dictate our decision making at all.
It's chump change to a Premier League club.

I don't agree.
If Parish had sacked Glasner in October then Palace would have potentially had to pay up his contract which runs until June this year. If paid in full, and I think there would be grounds to negotiate that, it would cost £3m. Now that may be ' dead money ' but in this business it's not big money.
