Glasner Out

[Painter]

The rumours on Wharton are on overdrive. He seems to have said he's leaving too.

For confirmation, when did he say he is leaving or where is it quoted. Rumours are media hype for click bait.

Guehi may not have agitated for a move in the sense of asking to be transferred but saying you are going to run down your contract is effectively the same thing. Put the club in a position of either selling him or letting him walk away. Either way Guehi made it clear he no longer wanted to play for Palace.

Completely within his rights of course and I hold no grudge towards him for it. He wanted more money and a higher level. Who wouldn’t?

I do get a bit fed up of all the lauding of him for being ‘professional’ that went on. He said he wanted away and then did the job he’s paid to do. That’s it

As opposed to downing tools, telling the club he wants to leave (but refusing to put in a written transfer request so he doesn't lose any money), deliberately not trying in games. testing the coach's patience by turning up late for training, refusing media duties, etc, etc, etc. These are the things players do all the time if they want a move and know another club is interested.
I think its perfectly reasonable to praise Marc for not doing any of those things. He remained professional and shirked not one single responsibility till the day he left. He also said (if the club hadn't sold him) he'd have given his all for Palace till the day his contract ran out. Again, not many players would do that knowing theres not much his existing employers can do when he is leaving anyway. But he was a total Pro till he left. I think people have every right to praise him for that in an otherwise 'badge kissing' era

How many people over they years have you seen give notice & then the work effort stops, they turn up when they have to (more or less) but other than that they are effectively just going through the motions, and that's when they are leaving within a few weeks / months, it was fairly common knowledge that Marc wouldn't sign another contract at Palace for something like 18 months & yet even with that news out there, every day he did what he had to do, performed at such a high level to remain club Captain, was surely one of the first names on the team sheet (if not the first name) & he solidified his England place -
In this world of players getting upset, sulking, downing tools , putting themselves first at the drop of a hat, for me, Marc was completely professional in what he did & the way he conducted himself, in my book that means something.

For sure you can say he was also in the team when we went on that poor run of performances, but as another poster has already said, very few emerged from that period with any credit.

Sorry Caterham, I've more or less repeated what you just said here. Felt compelled to comment before reading others! 🤣

I think whoever replaces Glasner (or even Glasner himself) will really struggle next season if Wharton and Lacroix follow Eze and Guehi and leave in the summer. Is it just Palace economics that end up repeating 1981 and 1991 whenever we manage to assemble a really good squad capable of winning things? We haven't gone full blown Southampton just yet but surely we need an excellent summer of recruitment if those two leave as well.

We only sell players when forced to or if we get a stupid offer. Thats the same as EVERY club incuding Liverpool, City, etc
