Glasner is a Glazier

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'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.

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).
 
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.

Maybe not 5 years but another year at least to show commitment would be nice. There certainly won’t be any activity in the next transfer window without that and rightly so.
 
IMO, Parish did all that Glasner asked for, getting players in early was a ridiculous comment, how do you know which players would leave after that, he got 5 players in, he asked for 3, he should now show some support for Parish by extending his contract by at least another year.
 
I stumbled on this piece earlier. An interesting take on Ollie from an impartial perspective.

 
Listening to the press conference, he is so refreshingly honest but also positive.

I think if things were anywhere near as bad as the click bait suggested he’d be saying so.

No idea about next year but he is our manager for this season - arguably our best ever manager with arguably our best ever squad. COYP
 
"I never threatened to leave the club, never.

"At the end of many discussions it was the chairman who asked me 'Oliver, do you think we can manage the season when we sell Marc?' I said 'honestly we can't manage it in the short-term'

"If we buy a 19 year old, fantastic player with about 1000 minutes in the league and sell our captain with about 15,000 minutes in the Premier League. I think we can't manage it short term. And if then we have three centre-backs and with our schedule, and if we have an injury in the back three. I think it's very, very risky.

"If you want this scenario for Crystal Palace and you are fine with it. Sell Marc, if you don't want to have this, then we have to keep him. And then he decided we keep him."

"I didn't have to threaten anybody. There were no bad tensions between the chairman and myself. It was really just a discussion about sports, and he decided against the money and for the sporting perspective of Crystal Palace. So again, big credit to the chairman, and the same big credit to Marc, who handled it very well.

"We [Guwhi] talked on deadline day. We talked the day after deadline day, when he was already in the England camp and was always very honest. Everybody could see how he played for England, that he's 100% focused, the same here.

"And it was written [in media] that he steps back as our captain. Nothing true. He will be our captain as long as he's here, because he's just such a great player and such a great personality and so much noise.

"That is the truth."

So there we have it. No big bust up just 2 men doing their job and reaching the right decision.

I didn't think so at the time, but in hindsight they've managed it very well.

Don’t think ‘arguably’ is even needed anymore, whatever happens. He and the boys won the FA Cup and Community Shield. If we had kept Olisse, we probably would’ve got Champions League. Remarkable Manager and Team.

Hopefully some of the Parish haters who always assume the worst can maybe reflect on things
