Glasner Out

Penge Eagle said:
For me it comes down to two things:

If Glasner was promised that there would be new signings in order to take Palace "to the next level" and this did not materialise - then he has every right to be pissed.

If Glasner was told that Palace have financial constraints and can spend very little if anything for the good of the club - then he should have shut up.

I don't know what conversations were between him and Steve Parish.

However his level of anger - something I don't think I've ever seen by a Palace manager - leads me to believe it's the former. I could be wrong but the guy is really angry.

Yes, he may have been like this at other clubs but so what? Maybe he doesn't like being lied to. We need to get to the facts of the matter as all we can do now is speculate while Palace have remained silent.

Not sure that was ever officially said by anyone. Just assumptions from us fans
 
Is there any chance Man U will employ him after their Amorim experience. I know we don’t care but from OG’s perspective why do that if Man U are on your radar.Perhaps the answer is they are not.
Said he’s going at the end of season. Fine. Leave it at that. Guess he’ll be gone by 5pm tomorrow.

think they have give him a slap and said if you want to go go , he isnt bigger than the club and if we knew who was coming and when then would make more sense , but im confused like most of us he cant be to much to pay up his contract , its thank you and goodbye and I wanted him to stay , but now I want him gone this has played out badly

He's made the error of thinking that he can do whatever he wants and get paid off. He should have done his research, Parish takes contracts seriously
 
The timing of this outburst just doesn’t make sense to me. In the sky sports interview he said that he feels unsupported but yet we broke our transfer record to buy Johnson on the first day of the January window. The injuries are unfortunate and we were always going to stretched at this point of the season, but they are also a result of his failure to give meaningful playing time and development to Uche, Esse and others. As others have said, we can’t buy a ready-made replacement for our star players as that quality of player won’t come to a team like Crystal Palace. And if we truly need squad depth, we should be buying two or three players for that transfer fee not one. Feels to me like Glasner is embarrassed that his reputation took a knock after the FA cup loss and now he’s just trying to deflect from what is undoubtedly a problem that is in part of his own making. If Frank becomes available I would terminate him asap and make a move.

Glasner and Parish need to do a joint press conference where they announce they're staying together for the sake of the kids.

The players thoughts and attitude to all this hasn't really been mentioned. The performance at Macclesfield asked more questions than provided answers - I suspect Guehi was so poor was because he knew he was off, but the others?

Do you remember the parish and Ian Holloway press conference where they both sat together and announced Holloway standing down?

Perhaps if the relationship isn't to far gone we might get a similar situation? I can't see it tho I feel bridges are well and firmly burnt ☹️

It's being reported that Glasner will not be sacked.
If we go on another unbeaten run will Glasner be a good manager again?

I’ve always rated him as a manager ,was not into that interview .

As an ex restauranter I recall a chef of mine who was due to leave slagging me off ,other staff and the establishment in the next door pub .
Told him the next day to sling his hook .

It was unprofessional,you must see that ?
 
I am not sure the fans will be particularly sympathetic towards Glasner after this.

Parish in my opinion is playing the game, perhaps saying to Glasner, if you want to leave then quit because you are not getting any compensation.

With regard to transfers, as Lanzo wrote earlier why the hell would we be looking at transfers for a manager who has only 5 months left. It makes no sense. In fact, telling a club, as a manager, that you are leaving makes no sense at all.

People are comparing this to Klopp doing the same thing however there is a massive difference. Klopp wanted to step back from football. Glasner wants to step back from Palace, a point he has made abundantly clear, blaming the Board for his decision. Ok some would say this is reasonable, however he has now done the same thing 3 times in 6 years. Leopards, spots etc?

I still expect him to go quickly, I just think in the background Parish is getting his ducks in a row to make it happen.

Personally I agree with those who say put him on gardening leave, put Paddy in charge, get a couple of loans in and keep any money for the new manager. Move on quickly.
 
Keeping Glasner till June is the right decision if Glasner himself is 100% committed to staying, turning the form around and having a real crack at winning the CL.
I presume Parish has spoken to OG this morning and established this.
Look, I'm as disappointed as anyone that he went public with his frustrations but our players clearly love him and want to play for him. Thats reason enough to keep him if you are putting the club before your own ego/anger.
Another reason is no one knows our players strengths and weaknesses better than OG. A new guy would need time to start getting the most out of them.
Also, this gives the club time to get Mr right instead of Mr right now. The appointment of Glasner looked to be a perfect one right up until injuries kicked in, results started to suffer and his frustrations started coming through. We all thought he was on board with the way the club was run until the last day of the summer transfer window when cracks in the relationship started to show. This proves that regardless of the amount of due diligence a club does it can still end in tears if your manager isn't honest about accepting the way the club does things. He was angry it took so long to bring in players but we are not top of the food chain. To get the players we want sometimes we have to wait for another deal(s) to be done before the dominoes fall and we get our man. Glasner was always imo a bit naive in not understanding that. Keeping OG in his post (conditionally on his true commitment to seeing it through) gives us time to get it right this time. Who's to say the next guy that comes in is also highly capable AND understands the way Parish runs things if we take our time to identify the best guy?

Really!! That is interesting and strangely refreshing. I don't know if that will work but he was adamant that he wouldn't walk out on the players.. If he was trying to get sacked, that didn't work and we can expect more fireworks.

On the other hand, if it could work out maybe this could put some fire in the performances. All I know is, this will rumble on until the next manager comes in.

Waking up this morning I feel weirdly calm about all this, I'm more likely to grab the popcorn than tear my hair out. Which is strange. Maybe we have passed some sort of Crystal rubicon.

Whether he stays or goes, we will be ok. I think most of the time, the incoming manager has been better than the outgoing manager... Until they weren't...

COYP.

Pulis said there had been a meeting attended by himself, the chairman and a couple of players when a deal regarding his severance was agreed. Steve was able to prove to the Judges satisfaction that it was impossible as he was having his hair done, a lengthy process and he was not at the club at the time Pulis claimed.

And Steve’s magnificent hair, especially so for his age, takes a long time.
