Glasner Out

[Tlsestu]

What was it that Glasner said about egos and Crystal Palace coming first?

 

[Tlsestu]

He should be put on gardening leave so as to stop the other relegation candidates coming in for him. He's still a top manager

 

[MonsterMunch]

Our greatest ever manager. I agree with 99% of what he’s said. You cannot however disrespect the club publicly like that. Very poor and unprofessional, I’m sure the powers at be at United heard it also. I’m in the camp of getting someone in new now to focus on next season. Best for both parties. Up the Palace

 

[Frickin Saweet]

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

 

[Paul Salvage]

The reason we are successful in bringing in some of the best young talent (Olise, Eze, Marc, Wharton) is the fact that we are prepared to let them go once they have proved themselves.
They get game time at Palace and showcase their skills. If we played hardball to prevent such players from leaving, then we would be unlikely able to get them in the first place.
Palace are well respected for this and we get to see stars of the future.

 

[Gary St.Andrews]

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……

 

[The Yorkshire Eagle]

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”

 

[Frickin Saweet]

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 .

No ambitious manager who wants to ply his trade at the top level will want to join us in that case. Only someone who wants a steady wage, doing enough not to get the sack. That means boring survival football and no ambition when we get to a certain points tally each season. No thanks.

 

[Wisbech Eagle]

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 don’t think so. Sensible managers know clubs can only spend what they have and what they are allowed to. We haven’t sold for peanuts. We have sold at release clause levels and to stop getting nothing a few months later. That’s sound financial management. Not pie in the sky dreamland where boundless resources are available to buy world class players to sit on the bench for a club like ours.

 

[DenTyler]

The morning after...

I have now watched both the sky and bbc press conference.

I think he needs to go of that we are all in agreement now, simply because we are in serious danger of a relegation battle if he doesn't.

However, he was not wrong in what he said. Let's look at all the facts. He comes in and he is right, the club sold the 4 best players. To be fair I think the one that meant he was leaving was Eze. Anderson was a too good deal to turn down and we got incredibly lucky with Max being a perfect fit when he came in to fill the void. Olise, nothing we could do about it, that boy (like our Captain) deserves bigger and better than unfortunately we can offer.
The Captain, was never EVER going to stay but what a player and leaves the club as a Legend.

Eze. This is the one. How it happened and what has happened to him at Arsenal. He was our Zaha like talisman. Could get us or make a goal out of nothing. Think where we would be if he had stayed.

As Glasner said, we got very very lucky with the players last year, no real injuries and everything that could go right went right, unlike this last couple of months where if it could go wrong it did.

I still think if Glasner told SP in October, he is a liar and should just have gone then. It's like knowing you are leaving your wife but have to live in the house for the sake of the kids... f*** that. Move on.

But if you agree or not Glasner was right. He has had the carpet well and truly pulled out from under him. A bit of investment in June and this could all look so different.

I know we need the stadium and I totally get that SP has Palace in his heart but it is a shame how this has played out. Not wasted mind you, nothing will take away May 17th!

Weeks ago I wrote that the wheels were coming off the cart. On the surface it didn't look too bad, our league position was reasonable, and we were in Europe, but the signs were there, the lack of goals, the growing injury list, the lack of cover / weak bench, the same tactics over and over never working, then the poor Conference results and key players looking shattered and a manager not having any idea of how to mix it up and change it. Step by step small increments that led to Macclesfield, Glasner's announcement and later diatribe.
When we were around 6th and our form was poor I mentioned that there were 3 games between us and 15th - well we are more or less there now, the spiral is downward. Our form took a turn for the worse soon after Glasner told Parish he was leaving, a remarkable coincidence.
Our form is relegation material unless the rot is stopped and after yesterday Parish needs to act immediately.
It's amazing how something can implode so quickly, and although the signs were there never in a million years did I think we would witness what happened yesterday.

I don't agree because Glasner must have known how the club operates. Even if you're right I think this situation would have arisen at some point when Glasner got frustrated or bored. Seems now to be the way he operates. As soon as the going gets tough, usually after a couple of years, he manufactures an exit with scant regard for the club he's leaving.

 

[eritheagle]

He is playing one big game at the moment.

the fact that he repeated his outburst (straight after the game) near word for word when he was sat down in front of the press showed how much he'd thought about it and how much it's all about him.

I wouldn't be surprised if players have had enough of him too!!

Ireola at b'mouth has lost his goalkeeper, entire defence and star attacker, not been in great form and is out of contract himself in the summer but no one hears him complaining or causing problems.

 

[Spiderman]

I’d love to know PE, as there is part of me thinking this must be considered a possibility.

I’d imagine a scenario whereby Glasner was promised the world if he got us into Europe and perhaps doing that via winning a trophy (He won 2) was not anyone’s expectation.

Therefore, having so dramatically overachieved, Glasner was expecting a hell of a lot more support than he got.

This would explain a lot.

Totally agree. Just watched his interview he was clearly very angry about Guehi being sold on Friday, with justification imo, why let him train all week as he was obviously off? IMO he is spot on about the boards apparent lack of ambition, if las season was not the springboard to move on, nothing will be. Some accusing him of being rude, he was not but frustrated and angry. Yes, he has made mistakes but was he sold a lie? A distinct possibility. A fact that won’t help us recruit another manager. I wonder how many who are calling him out have, in the past, moaned about our lack of/ late activity in the transfer window? I suspect many, so perhaps he does have a point

 

[kevlee]

SP needs to accelerate the planning.
Paddy should take over with a single goal of staying up.
The season is over apart from that single aim.
For next season, it won’t be a top level manager. It will be an English or now English based continental, journeyman who will toe the Parrish line and aim for survival.
Mateta and Kamada should be sold for scrap and we start again, but that starting point is really going back to where we were under Roy 5/6 years ago. He had Zaha, Olise and Eze and managed 12th place finishes. The new guy will have no one so talented, no rainmaker. It will be a tough gig.

Ok he might have accepted that the club model was to buy younger talent,develop it and move on but if we take the first two big departures Anderssen and Olise we replaced them with two good players. We sold Eze and bought Pino who may one day be as good but selling the Captain while it makes financial sense makes no footballing sense right now.

Clearly it is not Ollie pulling the strings off field and he is now tha scapegoat for basically telling it how it is.

But then at the same time his rigid tactical style has been found out and his (alleged) desire to not extend the squad has left us woefully short after injuries.

With everything that has happened this week I see no way he can carry on so maybe it's time to say thanks for the best memories of my long time supporting this club and please don't go to Man U as you will just get sacked. (But I now fear he might end up at Spurs at this rate.)

 

[park the bus]

Glasner's actions at Palace and elsewhere reveal him to be a narcissistic snake in the grass. If he has another role lined up that particular chairman might want to take note.

 

[Frenchaigle]

Has he left yet ?

 

[JHB]

Has he left yet ?

No. He’s still making his way back from the North East. According to OG he was promised a business class flight but hasn’t been backed by our admin team and is shocked to be on a coach. Not his fault for driving the coach the wrong way up the A1

It is very true that the squad is now without a game winning talisman. All of the marquee players have gone (Wharton apart).

For my money, I'd forget the Conference League - it's not worth much anyway, and just concentrate on staying in the Prem, which is the only thing that actually matters now. It is fortunate that there is still a gap between the bottom three and the rest.
