Glasner Out

So the saga continues, for now at least.

What I like the least about Ollie's out burst, is that it would seem he has created an 'us (him and the players) and them (the board)' environment.

I just can't see how this can possibly continue for the remainder of the season without it being detrimental to the club.
Ye that's the part that I too really dislike.

I have sympathy with him asking for business to be done early, more transfers etc but not in the way he's gone about it. I'd be even more sympathetic if he'd actually tried to integrate more squad players but I feel he's done this very poorly. Yesterday refusing to make subs was just childish, and despite him saying he's protecting players, he's actually putting them at further injury risk through lack of rotation.

I personally am doubtful such a toxic situation can be rectified and fans have been very patient with the bad run of form but after this outburst he won't be getting an easy ride from the fans. I'd rather he went now to avoid this, I'd prefer to remember him for the overwhelming positivity of his tenure instead of a toxic ending. If he stays i struggle to see how a positive outcome can be navigated... Especially as by his next press conference we'll most likely have sold Mateta! LOL
 
Sky just announced Board want OG to see our his contract!
WTF
Ollie has already said he won't walk out on his contract. Parish has to make himself look good through all this. He knows if they sack him they have to pay compensation. The crowd will likely turn on Ollie if the next game goes tits up against Chelsea and he may rethink about resigning. Parish offers to terminate without compensation. Ollie goes to Spurs Frank comes to Palace. Job done and Parish comes up smelling of roses again. Just my theory😄

This is all a bit Michael Corleone vs Moe Green.

Instead of

‘’I talk to Barzini’’ it’s Man Utd or Spurs

’’Think about a price’’ it’s think about the your reputation of your ability in the EPL beyond under 18 months.

I just hope for OG’s sake he’s not doing a Senator Geeri.

Yeah but OG is making his position untenable. Even Shearer has sided a bit with Parish while OG ruins it all. Either unusual, Shearer has had a lobotomy, or he’s realised the audience is getting smarter or smarter than him or than he thought.
 
Seems the best outcome to me , No one mentioned as a new potential Palace manager fills me with confidence , As the injured players return to fitness , Sarr is back from the Afcon cup and dare I say it Parish brings in new players things should improve .
Man Utd or Spurs are just going to have to wait ..
 
Parish seems to be be calling Glasner's bluff by making him honour his contract.

Glasner's rant seems to have been triggered by a lack of communication and the timing for the Guehi sale. He has had a long standing issue with the quality and amount of transfers in the summer, with obvious pressure applied to the board to sign more players now if we are to finish the season well.

His mentality is like a fan after a loss with his frustrations pouring out. We all get that, and there is no doubt that without the benefit of an intimate knowledge of the club's finances, it's easy to believe, as Glasner does, that we have wasted an opportunity to gain momentum after our triumphant 2025.

What to do now? After a night to think about it, I believe that keeping Glasner on would be the best way forward, as long as things can be smoothed over between him and the chairman.
If they both want what is best for the team, then some compromises have to be made. We certainly need another signing or two, and Glasner needs to recognise that his power over decisions was effectively erased when he said he was leaving in the summer.

If he walks, then so be it, but I don't think that Frank would be a good choice to replace him right now because he needs a break to recover from the Spurs effect. An interim is an option, but we can't have a complete meltdown of team morale. We need a positive outcome from all this to move forward again.

We require three wins to be safe and we still have Europe. Lots to play for.

I have heard far worse theories than yours.
 
The problem with sacking Glasner now is that all the clubs plans regarding our next coach are likely to go out the window.

Most of the names we were linked with are in work, and are far more likely to be available in the summer. We could go for an interim appointment I suppose, but who is there that would do a good enough job but yet accept that's it's only for a few months? In all seriousness, it's probably only age that is discounting Roy.

If Glasner apologises publicly then I suppose we could carry on, but I doubt he will, and I'm not sure I want him or trust him in charge now.
 
Personally I think the only way he can see out the season is if form starts to turn in our favour quickly. A continued run of defeats is just going to make Selhurst a toxic environment.
Can he turn things around? With the players we have coming back, yes. Will he? Hard to say at this stage
Well, the next 10 games can’t be as bad as the last 10.
 
So basically we have got to put up with this s*** until the end of the season..fun

I just hope we don't get dragged into a relegation fight let alone win the conference

Cheers
 
Supporting the club and getting behind the team is never in doubt.

The manager...nah.
Yeah this. The best I can give to him at this point is cold indifference. The only way that can improve at all is if he starts showing how good a manager he is again and we start winning, he shows that he cares for the club despite his words or god forbid… apologises to the fans.

If not and we continue to lose games in the second half when he refuses to make subs to prove a point I will not remain indifferent.
