Glasner Out

Being a pragmatist, things might seem obvious, but I tend not to assume too much. And this is the leeway i give to others. Some things are glaringly obvious, especially with hindsight.
Likewise It would seem poor form , for someone with a business degree, not to ask about financial policy of their potential employer.

This may have been done, but we aren't privy to any of the good stuff 🙂

I do like Simon Jordan's comments, which he is always good value in giving. I think the over-riding thing is , none of us know the private discussions between The Board and Glasner.

Was CPFC's financial Policy explained during his appointment process, and the general terms which this applied to his position ?
Was Glasner promised more (in terms of transfer money) after the FA cup win , and Europe calling ?
Was there a confidentiality agreement about his departure ?

I think Steve Parish is playing it right. Letting Glasner see out his contract is hopefully the least disruptive option.
Legal stuff is to no-one's benefit if it went to court.
I hope that by the time the final match of the season comes, the fans can applaud Glasner's work, give him a decent send-off, and hoping we have some more silverware for the cleaning lady to get busy on. 🙂 (if we haven't fooked her off too) 😀

I think the point a lot of us are forgetting is that Textor was heavily involved in OG appointment. He wanted him for Lyon at one stage but he doesn't speak French. This relationship was part of decision of Textor's influence before court of arbitration.
I am sure OG was made aware of how the other owners ran club but that money would be made available but this may involve selling important players to increase liquidity.
We were looking at the CD from sporting according to rumours at time we had an agreement around 45 million euro. This fell through 3 reasons Europe debacle, Loss of Textor including repayment of his loans and Liverpool mucking about over Geuhi.
This left us to be in a situation where we needed to sell to buy. OG must have known that Liverpool certainly did hence deadline day farce and us turning Uche into loan not purchase and withdrawing from loan from spurs.
We sold Eze and brought in 2 players plus one on loan . All were young but must have been with OG knowledge and he has then been reluctant to use.
If there was a confidentiality agreement OG would be gone and SP would be taking legal action with certainty of outcome.
I think SP and board have made wrong decision in keeping OG .Unless he can rectify rift with board and almost certainly with players his position is week. It is a pity Wardy has signed for Swansea last week as he could have been part of an interim team to manage till end of season. Not as manager chief coach but as deputy as he is and was an important part of CPFC.
 
What exactly are we going to do when we lose the next two with the same formation and no subs? A hissy fit in the press conference? We're playing Russian Roulette Resign trigger. Just feels not worth it. What exactly is going to be different with Glasner? He seems like a guy who will change? Yes, ok. OK. This is ridiculous and the axe needed to be wielded today.

I share what SJ thinks ,I often do agree with him on football matters .

A little concerned about OGs attitude going forward .
Can only hope that he realises he was out of order .
He must realise he’s damaged himself .
Next pre match press conference should be interesting.

He'll probably walk in dressed like Arnie in Commando.

I completely agree. The atmosphere is going to be toxic on Sunday. A new manager in and the crowd will be behind him especially against a free hit kind of game. Best to pull the tigger now and we all move on.
 
I agree his next press conference will be very interesting. Does he double down and criticize the owners even more? Doing that is practically daring the owners to sack him but that kind of conduct could be written into his contract as a sackable (with no compensation pay out) as a breach of contract.
I imagine its much more likely he will water down previous comments. Explain feelings were running high at the end of the game. Maybe even apologise and try to spin it that its because he cares too much.

I've already said and will say again, if (big IF) a few players return and we start picking up points again the background noise will die down and everyone (well, most people) will get behind the team and just accept the change will not be made until the summer.
If the barren run continues the negativity will only increase. Then his position becomes untenable. I dont think we can demand a win against Chelsea but I think the two games after that is what he should be judged on. He should have almost a full squad available to choose from too so there will be no excuses.

Realistically, How soon do you expect a new manager to start getting the best out of our squad bearing in mind in all likelihood when he walks in the door he wont even know most of their names let alone their capabilities?
It will take time. Time we dont have. Our best chance of a turnaround is to hold our nerve and hope Glasner can turn the ship around once Munoz, Sarr, Riad and maybe a signing or two are available

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.

I think he has a lot to do, if he genuinely wants to see his contract out.

He could start by being man enough to make a public apology to us fans and also confirm that he's apologized to the players who were on the bench for his outburst on Saturday.

He might also start using some of the bench players more so that they have a chance to grow before the season's end. If he can bring Uche, Canvot, Riad (and possibly even Rodney who is 21 after all) up to a level where they can be genuine 1st team options by the end of this season, he'll have shown that he really is sorry for his outburst and has tried to do his part in developing our 1st team squad.

If his outburst was a result of the serious head injury that ended his playing career, then I can accept that and move on.
