I dont believe Frank is a good fit for us but I'd also say the current regime at Brentford has proved their current ongoing success has less to do with the manager and more to do with their recruitment and style of play policy. This is really what Parish is trying to implement so that when the manager leaves, the new guy that comes in (has to be experienced and competent) he will not find it too difficult to pick up the ball and run with it so to speak

This is the modern football fan. What's worse is that they mock other clubs' bed wetting fans but when it comes down to it they're no better
I agree to some extent but I think we owe him a level of respect in view of what he has given us. I dont really care if anyone else agrees with that. Its how I feel. He made me a grow man burst into tears at the final whistle when I laughed off the possibility before the game.
I will never forget that moment. Oliver Glasner gave us that. No one else. The players would not have achieved it without his tactics and direction.

It's hard to know whether the club genuinely want Glasner to stay, or whether this is a game of brinkmanship. If it's the latter, then we have to hope one side blinks quickly. The fact Glasner supposedly had a meeting with Matt Hobbs after Saturday's rant, rather than Parish, says a lot. However badly Palace manage this the club will continue, but if Glasner isn't professional then it could be career suicide. He's given us so much in such a short time that I'd be genuinely saddened if he left under a cloud, but can he really continue?
We all know sometimes its difficult for the owners. They may have agreed most of the deal with City and were expecting it to all go through on Monday (him being our player till then) but if City were to agree what we wanted then suddenly said 'oh, by the way. Deals off unless you pull him from your squad this weekend'. Sure Parish could have told them to do one but then we'd be stuck with a player who has TWICE seen his big move collapse at the 11th hour. Not going to get a 100% committed Marc Guehi after that!
I was all for keeping Ollie despite results.
I'm also a big fan of Parish but recognise he should have added numbers in the summer.
BUT I really liked humble Ollie, loved his honest, polite press conferences, loved his warmth towards the players.
Today I want him gone. I was at Wembley and will cherish that win forever and love him for that forever... but the way he criticised the benched players was too much. Call out the chairman if you must but not the ability of young players.
If he still had 2 years to go, I'd think 'fine, let's repair the damage' - but he's gone in May anyway.
It feels wrong having him here.
We're like a divorced couple who have to live with each other until the house gets sold.
It's all very sad, all very Palace.
Probably best to move on..

This isn't just a dodgy run of form or 'any issue' though, it's clearly much more than that.
If he wanted to stay at the club and sign a new deal, I think 99% of the fans would be completely supportive regardless of the bad run.
However, this is ten games without a win including a couple of shocking results. It's a refusal to adapt his system despite mounting evidence that it simply doesn't work without Munoz. It's repeatedly criticising the owners publicly. Announcing that he's leaving the club the day before a game despite criticising the board for the Guehi timing being a destabilising factor.
My ideal outcome here is that they patch it up and he stays. But it feels like at the moment he is almost trying to force an early exit and, if so, I don't think it is unreasonable for fans to feel pissed off.
We are within our rights to want people at the club who want to be here and, frankly, at the moment it seems pretty clear that him and Mateta want out which is very disappointing.

I totally understand from a club perspective. We were open to Guehi departing in January for financial reasons.
I believe that what irked Glasner was that fact that he was immersed in training drills at set-pieces with Guehi of course very much involved, but was then informed that he was unavailable to play the following day. This just added to his discontent about the strength of the squad.

How can you have someone managing the team who doesn’t want to be there, and at the first sign of adversity in the next game will just put his arms up and say told you so, not my fault, I’m f’g off anyway. Beyond me how anyone can think that’s not a problem.
You are entitled to your opinion but I completely disagree with you

Also that he's been quite blase about his contract situation, talking about it not being the right time to discuss anything when he'd already decided in October. If he'd just said then he was leaving It would have been disappointing but now it just feels as though he's been mugging us off for the last few months.

I have nothing against your opinion.
I just don't feel that as strongly.
He's paid millions and fans make a club, because without them no player takes the field nor manager supervise them.
So it's great he did well for us, but that's what he's paid to do.....Each season is anew.....and he's buggering off, just as predicted.

Agree OG gave us in 2024/5 the best period - certainly I recall - in Palaces history and if we still somehow win the Conference League we can add 2026 to that list .That and a mid table finish will then make this another good year. Thanks OG for all that. Now thanks and goodbye. August 2026 we start again!
First sign? This has been rumbling along for weeks as has the team's poor forn and Glasner's refusal to do anything about it.
You are speculating that he doesn't want to be at the club till the end of the season. He has three times since Saturdays game stated he will not quit and will stay and fight with his players he has so much respect for. Dont you think its a bit hypocritical to say 'at the first sign of adversity he throws his arms up...' when at the first sign of our most successful manager ever showing signs he is unhappy with the owners and you want him gone? Loyalty cuts both ways and he has not said he wants to leave.
In my opinion I think he IS happy to stay but now its common knowledge he will be leaving in the summer he (rightly or wrongly) feels he can now say what he likes. This attitude really hurts his own career more than it hurts anyone else.
Man United (who are reported to be keen on him) sacked Amorim for this exact type of open criticism of the owners. I doubt they'd have been too impressed.
He obviously has a desire to remain popular whilst doing unpopular things,he knows he has treated the fans support in a shabby fashion. The king is dead long live the king. The new manager should be appointed very soon for several very good reasons.
THIS I agree with.
He did say on record he didn’t care if he was fired (or words to that effect). Not exactly the words of somebody who is committed for the rest of the season.
Maybe Saturday was an outburst OG regrets but it did look a lot like following the Amorim and Maresca playbook of trying to get fired. He does also have history in this regard.
Now OG doesn’t owe us anything. It’s his life and his career. However, I think he’s got a bit to do to restore trust in his intentions.
