Glasner is a Glazier ?

[Painter]

Maybe rubbish was a little unwarranted, he did keep us in the prem for a few good seasons, but in his last short stint he took over a talented group of players and had a reasonable run to the end of the season playing in the style of Vieira, then reverted to "Hodgson Ball" and nearly got us relegated.

However, as I said SP had a long term plan in place, which was to bring in OG at the end of the season, but had to rush it through due to Roy's rigid way of playing and inability to turn around a side that had previously played well.

You only have to listen to a post match interview with Glasner, where he speaks coherently for 5 minutes about tactics and attitude in a way that Roy would never understand. Which just shows how far we have come in just 18 months.

I hope he has a similar plan for when Glasner leaves us.

You're a bit fast and loose with the truth.

We were never in any relegation spot from 6 weeks after he took over, so how did he nearly get us relegated.

Roy was replaced due to ill health and in hospital. Glasner was being lined up for the summer, after Roy's contract expired, but brought forward as Roy unable to continue.

I just saw an article on Newsnow saying that the bookies have Glasner favorite to take over as United Manager when haemorrhoid gets sacked .

Doubt it now, what with both Jose & OGS being sacked by their turkish clubs last night, knowing manure, either of them could end up back there.

I'm surprised by the vitriol I seem to be getting here.

Roy had a run of one win in 12 games. Patrick Vieira was sacked for a better string of results.

We were 5 points off the relegation zone and there were very public demonstrations in the stands about lack of ambition.

It was widely reported that Oliver Glasner had arrived in the UK and signed his contract in the hours before Roy Hodgson collapsed at Coopers Cope.

I have said that I appreciated what Roy did for us in his first stint as our manager. But during the 23/24 season he was increasingly out of his depth and it was not just me who thought it was time for him to go. For the first 26 weeks of the season Roy had a 19% win rate, OG's is 46%, PV's was just under 30% and he was sacked. Obviously our board also thought that the situation could not continue.

I was one of the thousands applauding Roy at our game against Villa at the close of the season in 2024.
Would we have won it 5-0 with Roy in charge? Doubtful.

Glasner,is a glazier, but for now long???

Amorim Replacement: Man Utd Discuss Hiring 'Phenomenal' Premier League Manager

Manchester United are eyeing a move to appoint Crystal Palace manager Oliver Glasner if they sack Ruben Amorim in the coming days or weeks.

Anyone who goes to Man U inherits a poisoned chalice at the moment.

They can't keep turning over players at the rate they have, It's make the best of what you've got or use academy kids. Given their pedigree and might, they target European football every year and if a new manager misses that it clearly would be a trapdoor. Amorim may be given some time, he did get them to a major European final.

So, ignoring a huge salary increase, would OG want the ginormous task and relocate his family up north? I was more worried when Spurs were looking for someone (before they got Frank).

 

[Palace Old Geezer]

Well done Ollie. Love to know what you said to your boss, but whatever it was I know for sure it took some pluck. You won, you kept your captain and most of us are very happy with that.

Just hope you told Mr P to give Marc a decent wedge to show our true respect for his fabulous contribution to your wonderful team.

So, having won that battle, please now sign up for a 5 year extension to your own contract.
