Glasner Out

The way this Glasner affair has been handled, it's not exactly a great advertisement for any future manager to come to Palace!
Agreed... any sensible manager out there would think:

"oh yes that is going to be a good career move... even if you win the club's only ever trophy they don't give you the players you need to build on that success and in fact will sell your best players for peanuts"

I guess we'll just have to get a not sensible manager. We've had plenty over the years.
 
That attachment and things like it is why I am not taking his word in a press conference for anything entirely.

A quick search re Wolfsburg and Frankfurt instantly show poor relationships, anger in press conferences, ‘wanting a new challenge’, form dipped considerably, early contract termination, mutual consent. All very familiar.

Parish's silence is becoming concerning. He needs to open communication with the fanbase.
Im wondering if he is struggling himself.....
There is so much detail we are not privy too.
It's a long journey back from the NE and Parish won't say anything publicly until he's dealt with Glasner face-to-face. We should hear something later today or tomorrow (Monday) morning

Actually , they will be well aware of the situation in managing a team like palace in the EPL and there will be lots putting their hands up for the job .

They know the limitations of FFP and will see the gradual improvement in palace since SP took over . We may even get someone who sees us as a long term project , the same way that Steve Parish does .

That’s what I want .
 
Gets worse we lost to them. Yep it hasn't gone to plan this season and has unraveled fairly spectacularly this week. Guehi leaving is obviously not a surprise. Palace, like another 15 or so clubs in the PL are just feeders for the big fish. Likes of Bournemouth are testament to that. Thiago won't be at Brentford next season. Any whiff of success and they come a calling. However the Glasner announcement is a little bizarre and I'm not sure his position is tenable. It has the ManUre stench all over it.
There is a big difference to Bournemouth and Brentford as they keep refreshing the squad.

I’d like to think Parish has more class than we witnessed in OGs post match diatribe. He’ll consider a response and get it cleared by our majority owners before he mouths off.
 
2 days ago we were 125/1 to go down. Today we are 33/1. After our next 2 games we could be 10/1. Be under no illusion, we are in a spot of bother.
 
What's Glasner supposed to do?
He's told the day before he can't play Guehi.

He plays an injured JPM as Uche isn't good enough.

Lerma has to shift into the back 3 so there's no cover for Hughes and Wharton in midfield.

Clyne has been unfit and Devenny is again pushed into an out of position RWB role.
Imray (loan) and Riad(injury) have had little or no first team involvement and have to be thrust into the squad at the last minute.
We again have 2 keepers on the bench.

This after 14 years in the Premier League?

Glasner is not without fault, but to blame him exclusively for our current predicament is absurd.
Kinda where I am on this
 
He’s got to go now, that was classless yesterday and let’s not forget he’s got form for this kind of outburst at other clubs he’s managed. Oliver is a good coach but not a good manager, nah not for me!

We knew he going in the Summer he should have just got on with the job in hand and kept a lid on it. Yesterday will come back to haunt him I’m sure….

Bye bye Oli and thank you for your services……
 
I’m sure like many an Eagle, I am depressed. My overall feeling is that of both surprise and disappointment with OG. Not so much for what he said, but when and where. To hang out his dirty washing on national TV was poor judgement in my view and one that surely will be his downfall.

In his pre-match press conference he said, “I have a very good relationship with Steve Parish, and we agreed to keep things under wraps”.. etc. then he goes and rants as he has! His gripe was of EZE and Guehi leaving and being withdrawn 24 hrs before a game, but he knew a week back that it was on the cards so I don’t buy that, although Guehi and Citeh could perhaps have waited until tomorrow.

The impact of all this is far reaching as players will be reluctant to join a club in a mess now and surely any prospective manager will likewise be overly cautious about joining the fray, with owners with short arms it seems.

One wonders (and perhaps hopes) that SP will have been lining up a replacement for OG since October. Otherwise the best outcome in the short term is that he and OG kiss and make up, OG stays, wins the Conference league, whilst finishing mid-table in the Prem, at worst, and we sign Jurgen Klopp or Thomas Frank on a ten year contract, and many a star in the summer window, whilst others are focused on the World Cup.!!!

“Gerry, Gerry, wake up, you’re delirious .. are you having a dream?”
“Oh, thanks honey, yes I was, Palace just won the World Cup - I'd best go get a cuppa to recover”
