Glasner Out

[Nutmegyeti]

I mean he’s gone plenty far in management already, having won multiple trophies across different clubs and countries.

He’s been successful everywhere he has been.

If you look at his managerial history, he’s generally been successful early on wherever he’s gone.

He comes in, lifts the place, gets everyone pulling together, creates momentum and belief, and usually delivers results quite quickly.

But equally, by seasons two to three, things do tend to unravel a bit once results dip and tensions with the board start creeping in. So in that respect, this does feel fairly typical his time here.

That said, I don’t think anyone can seriously criticise what he’s done for us overall. He’s given us the best period most Palace fans have experienced in their lifetime, and ultimately he’s delivered silverware. You can’t just dismiss a manager who’s done that.

Personally I’m ambivalent about him going - I don’t necessarily think he’s the sort of manager who builds a stable ten-year dynasty at a football club. He feels much more like an intense-cycle manager. Brilliant at changing the atmosphere and driving success, but maybe not someone who settles into a long-term institutional project without friction eventually appearing somewhere along the line.

Kind of; certainly he's demanding and has a track record of strained relationships with the board he works for - but his last season at Wolfsburg they finished 4th and his final season with Frankfurt they finished 7th and reached the German cup final (although league form did tail off towards the end). His last season here looks likely to include a European final, at the least!

Neither of the German clubs have managed to hit the same heights since Glasner left, which I always think is very telling when it comes to managers.

Agree with you that he's never going to be a long-term project manager, but I think it's really hard to argue he hasn't been a major success everywhere he has been - in all 3 cases, the clubs have achieved peaks not seen for decades, if ever.

we can be fairly certain that Glasner has already lined up his new career. They are all keeping it hush hush.

I’m not so sure. Nothing in football is kept hush hush. Nothing.
