Glasner first to be sacked this season.

It was a bad giveaway by Munoz though. Definitely outpaced. And also out of position. Much as I loved him when he was with us.
 
In my opinion, it’s fair to say that a lot of us felt rejuvenated when Glasner first joined Palace. His candid media conferences, his ideas about how he wanted us to play, and his ability to motivate the players were a breath of fresh air. He was ‘quirky’ !

But winning the FA Cup changed a lot of things. Both management and players seemed to start believing they were now too good for the club and began looking for better opportunities.

Glasner was guilty of this too. His increasingly frustrated media comments created unrest, and he made various claims about his ambitions without, perhaps, fully acknowledging that it was Palace who had given him the platform to achieve so much.

So, with his reputation at a high point, he seemingly believed — or was advised — that leaving Palace was the right move because he could do better elsewhere.

Fast forward, and he may well now be one of the highest-paid managers around. But at what cost?

The ‘Big’ club jobs never materialised, and he was fortunate that Forest came calling. What looked like a step up became a reminder that career progress is not always measured by salary or status: sometimes, chasing something bigger means giving up the place where you were already building something special.

I recognise his outstanding contribution whilst at our club, however his level of performance declined perhaps on account of his injuries and the passage of time.
We witnessed the best version of Munoz, I happen to believe that at this stage of his career this will not be replicated.

His generally measured demeanour helped as well. Imagine if Ian Holloway had said the same things; he'd have sounded demented. Or more demented anyway.

I think he gives so much in every game it’s bound to catch up with him, he was brilliant in the World Cup. When he got to the final of the copa America with Colombia he looked jaded and average the start of that season with us, in fact we didn’t look the same team without his dynamic runs and went 8 or 9 games before we won

He gave so much in international games and was then f***ed for ages after every international break. I found that incredibly annoying. Laudable by him perhaps, but not good for us.

That’s true, obviously he had far flung flights to South America as well which didn’t help, it’s not like he was just popping across Europe
