Glasner Out

Now I think Textor has some responsibility. He had a different philosophy to other Board members, and he played a significant part in securing Glasner. I think after Textor went, some of the promises to Glasner went with him.
I'd like to think that communication was always there with the Board. Glasner has indicated they talk all the time.
Now I'm struggling to see how Palace got to this point.
 
Gotta love Simon Jordan and his correct opinions. I had my frustrations with some of the things he did as chairman but it’s water under the bridge now and he had the balls to do it.
I actually think Jordan is the perfect person to comment on this. He clearly has no bias towards Parish - as he says, he is pained to side with him, but he largely does.
 
Among my many worries of Glasner staying, there is a huge dilemma in replacing Guehi knowing that a new manager may favour a back 4. 3-5-2 we have a desperate need for a centre back, 4-4-2 we probably want an attacking midfielder more.
 
I find it amusing that despite all this, Eddie Nketiah might well become our main striker ha ha ha! There's a challenge for the new manager right away.
Note to Steve Parish: have another look down the back of the sofa, you might have missed a few coppers.

Come on now, he's got huge bias against Parish and if this was any other club he would be hammering the point Stu Pearce finally makes at the end that Glasner appears to be following the modern playbook of agitating and angling for a move by getting the sack.

Surprisingly Jordan makes some mistakes here about the club when he says that OG took over from Vieira which was not the case as OG was brought in early when Roy was sadly taken ill during a training session. I admire SJ's perspective fairly often as he unusually represents a Chairman's view but he slips in some digs via Textor and clearly revels in scenario, that the crown has slipped worryingly from Parish's bonce since the start of this season. He defends the sales and recruitment dealings though (Eze, Guehi) which is quite telling really.

Sorry, I don’t think my point came across. Generally, this is absolutely true and, yes he slips in some digs… but nowhere near as many as usual.

The fact that even Simon Jordan spends more time questioning Glasner in that piece than Parish speaks volumes to me. It feels like he’s supporting parish through gritted teeth at points.

Apologies are mine, I realised after a read through you meant that in YT video piece-to-camera posted that he showed little bias to SP, he was just a bit more sly in this instance! I'm sure there will be a fair bit more of sanctimony from Jordan if the current clusterf*ck doesnt resolve in the looming months.
 
The Programme v Chelsea should be more interesting than usual, containing pieces by Parish, Glasner and the new captain.

I expect Parish not to address the issue directly, but I'll be surprised if Glasner doesn't make mention of his leaving at the end of the season as it will be his first direct opportunity to address the fans.

Perhaps the captain's piece be an 'Ask Deano' agony section!

Before then there will be the pre match press conference on Friday where I expect media minder Joanne will be under strict instructions not to let Glasner get into any more hot water.
 
We can debate whether Parish is at fault for lack of signings and selling players or Glasner is at fault for not giving certain players a chance but we can all agree that Glasner’s behaviour the other day was not normal. There’s definitely a pattern to his behaviour when he is upset after losing a match. His rant’s demonstrate a loss of control over his emotions.
As someone who worked in brain rehabilitation and regularly dealt with patients who had suffered significant brain injuries it’s a behaviour I’ve seen many times before. Perhaps I’m wide of the mark and he’s just an arrogant pr*ck like Lanzo says, but I do find myself wondering if his extreme behaviour is a consequence of the serious brain injury he sustained which ended his playing career. It’s been a recurring theme throughout his managerial career. It’s fairly typical of patients who have sustained head injuries. We all are capable of extreme or inappropriate behaviour when upset but our frontal lobes kick in and prevent us from saying and doing things we might later regret. Brain injuries of the sort he sustained impact the frontal lobes more than anything and impair our ability to apply the brakes. The impact can be lifelong and significantly harm relationships at home and at work.
If my suspicion is correct then Glasner will be aware that he has this tendency and may even have discussed it with Parish who is a decent guy and will cut him some slack as he seems to have done. He’s lucky to have an understanding boss. Sadly that won’t always happen.
Thanks for a most humane, considered and interesting post.
 
Still in a little shock how we have got to this place but it’s been coming since the Kups game.

I admire Glasner’s myopic vision and focus on results above anything else. It allowed us to achieve the highs of 2025. How he has managed adversity is disappointing and childish (not dissimilar to previous jobs).

I thought he was fully aligned in the Palace culture and committed to the club, but I now feel a little deceived.

Keeping Olise, Eze and Guehi at the club for as long as Parish did is a feat in itself, but everyone understood THEY wanted other challenges in their careers. Champions League or Premier League medals or quite possibly Ballon D’or winner are within their collective capabilities.

The irony of it all is that if and when Glasner manages a top European side, he will become the predator and poach the talent nurtured at clubs like Palace!!!

Parish will justifiably wait to see the reaction on Sunday from supporters at team selection, substitutions and most importantly towards Glasner himself before making a final decision.

Thanks for sharing. A very interesting perspective.
