I don’t think OG is actually talking to RB but his agents are. However it has been reported that his friends say he likes the freedom to make decisions at Palace which he will not get at RB unless they back down on their strict rules. There is no job security there either with RB on their eleventh Coach (manager) in the past ten years. The speculation is probably more “old bull” rather than Red Bull.Well for once this is clickbait I would like to believe.
From Austria: Sources close to Oliver Glasner give stance on leaving Crystal Palace for RB Leipzig - Sport Witness
Crystal Palace manager Oliver Glasner is said to be in contention to become RB Leipzig’s next permanent manager. At the weekend, the Bundesliga club parted ways with Marco Rose. Two days ago, claims from Germany stated they have contacted the Austrian’s camp. Thursday’s edition of Salzburger...sportwitness.co.uk
Oddly enough I was thinking this morning before I saw this article how would OG feel with Klopp breathing down his neck. Klopp is too young to be the elder statesman I suspect most managers would see him as a threat.
So let's hope that Palace give OG what he wants.
No smoke without fire.
Why,as a successful, progressive Manager would he not be tempted by this very attractive package??

In a recent interview, he clearly stated how happy he was at the club!
However, this is Palace, so nothing is ever that simple 🙈🙈

I really appreciate Glasners honesty after the match on Saturday and now this. The guy is class and we’re lucky to have him.

In the Newcastle pre-match presser he was quite clear that he got the tactics wrong in the second half and should never have taken JPM off for the reasons stated in the article you shared.
As you say he's class and I very much hope we can persuade him to extend his contract.

Thomas Frank has stayed at Brentford for ages. So, not all proven managers need go up to a football Giant. Sometimes the Spurs/ManUre's etc are little more than a poisoned chalice. A manager could do another 5 years at a medium sized club or 6 months at a toxic behemoth.

agreed. But the real test will be when we get a run of bad results. Personally, i think he is the best Palace-manager i have seen in ages. Lets see if all the faithful will keep faith when the going gets tough. Football fans are notoriously fickle.

Agreed, but as the “Is Glasner the problem?” thread showed when we had a run of bad results at the start of the season, even our more fickle comrades saw sense and got on board.
What OG has achieved in the 14 months or so months since his arrival has been spectacular, I don’t think anyone would have foretold the run we put together at the end of last season, and then again through the middle 1/2 of this season. With a squad as thin as ours, it’s inevitable that we would struggle when a couple of suspensions coincided with a few injuries. It’s a shame that didn’t happen prior to the international break as they would have had time to process the situation and plan correctly.
Hopefully this is just a blip and isn’t the start of another 6-10 game run of poor results, either way, OG has my full and unwavering throughout and I’m pretty sure the players feel the same way.
