Glasner is worried - and so am I !

How have we come to this?

1. The Manager is palpably and vocally unhappy.
2. Why - because Steve Parish has let him down two years running
3. We knew that Eze and Guehi would be leaving a long time ago
4. But no steps were taken to find replacements
5. Glasner wanted new players in the early window - twice he has been ignored
6. We are blatantly ill-equipped to tackle the Conference League (let alone the PL)
6. Now we have 10 days left and replacements will be hard to find - and more expensive because all
clubs know we are desperate.
7. Many pundits said we had a great chance of winning the Conference
8. After last night that began to seem fanciful
9. Eze and his shoot-on-sight penchant (reminiscent of Zaha) was sorely missed.
10. Poor old Devenny looked lost and skilfully lacking
11. The whole team had really no idea on how to break down a defensive block
12. I fear for our next match against Forest, who have spent considerably.
13. Parish citing distractions of the UEFA saga and PSR worries cannot be excused
14. He has lost the 'bigger picture' by endangering the future of the best manager we have had in many years.
15. If because of this we fail to qualify for the CL proper or have a bad PL run there is only one person to blame.

All so stupid and completely unnecessary.

A brilliant summation!
 
Happens every year, how many times have we seen it happen. Seeing Glasner on that sky interview earlier wouldn't be at all surprised to see him walk, and I wouldn't blame him. He looked really pi$$ed off, you can only gauge how things are by what he is saying, can't you.

This sums it up very well. Just about the whole fan base is asking your question. In fact listening to the manager so is he.
 
Both Tony Pulis & big Sam Allardyce left us due to a lack of financial ambition. I believe this was the case.
Now i know we do not have the deep pockets of many Prem clubs, but surely somebody somewhere can square the circle. a) ambition and b) financial probity.

any suggestions ?

surely Glasner's mobile is already hopping with job-offers ? both in the Prem and in Europe.

follow the link below and see what a village-hamlet gave us a tough game. Its got three coffee shops. That's even less than the Upper Norwood/ crystal palace triangle.

Elon Musk.
 
It was so telling that Ch5 kept cutting away the visuals on OG's interview to the Parish entourage trying to hear what Glasner was saying - seems like the "trust" has gone in that relationship .... can it be repaired. The body language of Steve was not great to see unfortunately. After the elation of Wembley it's all unravelling at warp speed it seems. Turmoil behind the scenes, probably new dynamics in the boardroom and a CEO/Chairman very much on the back foot.
 
Watching whu v Chelsea and recalling how we were rumoured to be looking at Paqueta, His movement is eze like and he just scored an amazing goal. Guess we can forget that very unlikely dream

West Ham will be looking for a new coach soon. Diouf and wan bissaka as wing backs, Paqueta as an Eze. Glasner would work wonders there with his tactics and their budget.
Until we see September 1st and a big effort in new players it is going to be a nervy August.
 
How about looking at the glass as half full instead?

1. We have our best ever manager and he is not afraid to tell the chairman what he needs
2. We have our best ever chairman who has worked miracles bringing us from administration and near relegation to League 1 to our first ever FA Cup win and European football.
3. We have been worrying about Eze and Geuhi leaving for a long time and yet they are both officially still Palace players.
4. Some good replacement options have been identified but the transfer window is a game of chess and we haven’t been able to pull the trigger on any yet. There is still over a we’re to go!
5. Glasner wanted new players in the early window and got 2 (one of which looked very promising on Thursday night!)
6. We are new to Conference League football but managed to win our first match even without Eze and despite the opposition ‘parking the bus’ - something we are not at all used to!
7. We are still the pundits favourites to win the Conference League.
8. We’ve had our first reminder that this might not be so easy as we expected but we came through it a goal up.
9. If he had not been ‘ill’ Eze night have been able to work his magic and deliver us a second goal in a crowded opposition penalty box or he may not have been on form that night. Perhaps in an alternate universe he was awarded a penalty which he took with his usual stutter and missed?
10. Devenny got some valuable game time as a result of Eze being ‘ill’
11. Trying to deal with a defensive lock was a completely new experience for Palace but they dealt with it better than Arsenal, Liverpool, Man City and Chelsea have dealt with our own defensive lock over the last few months and came away 1-0 up.
12. Forest are in a right mess with their manager openly saying that his relationship with the owner has broken down and that this is affecting the players. The suggestion is that his views on recruitment have been completely ignored.
13. Parish understands what Glasner is asking of him and despite the distractions of the summer dealings with UEFA, has been working to recruit the players that Glasner needs. He has hired a new Director of Football to help in this department.
14. Parish has always seen the ‘bigger picture’ at Palace. He knows that success on the pitch is very much dependant on successful management of the finances and has managed that delicate balance with astute recruitment without going for broke and risking bankrupting the club (again!)
15. If he manages to keep Palace solvent, avoid any PSR points deductions and retain the core of the FA Cup winning team it will secure Palace’s long term sustainability and consolidate Parish’s many achievements since taking over the club 18 years ago. If we have taken on too much and exit early on from the Europa Conference very few people outside of Palace will even notice and no one will care.

Poor wretch is nearly down to his last 400 billion. Maybe we should start a GoFundMe page for him.
