Glasner Out

[Part Time James]

Would it not be wise to give OG a week’s holiday?
Absurd workload the last four months with no let up.
Worrying turn in mood from Friday’s dignified press conference to yesterday’s outburst.
He had a brain haemorrhage 15 years ago, after all.
I’m sure I remember Pep having a week off last season.
Not as if we don’t have a big coaching team.

Apols if any of the above already stated.

I can recommend Haven in Weymouth. The Seaside Squad provide second to none on site entertainment, the lodges are at least a 3 out of 5 for cleanliness and it's a stone's throw from Monkey World which lived up to its name.

Monkey World is just over the road from the National Tank Museum. Have they never seen Planet of the Apes. If the monkeys ever break out then the whole south coast is lost

 

[SnapperKain]

Is this also in the reported

"It's the worst thing you can have. The first training week since September, preparing and again, with players from the academy, we were 16 players yesterday in training, and then yesterday at 10.30 I get told everything. The set plays were ready for Marc Guehi. We trained set pieces during the week with Marc Guehi, so I think the negotiations didn't start at 10!"

From today's Sunday Times

That's farcical really isn't it? What if Guehi had injured himself in the warm up? Or suddenly come down with the flu? Would he be saying the same thing there? Nah, you'd have some sort of plan B and get on with it. So disapointing.

 

[Uphill]

Two reasons why not to sack Glasner.
1. Cost us money to pay off his contract - better spent towards Guehi replacement
2. Have we got a new manager already lined up?

However, keeping him on might be bad for an already shattered morale after Macclesfield

 

[Linford]

He did an incredible job and none of what has followed would have happened if it weren't for him

No, as a person I do not like him. No, I do not like his football philosophy. For what he did for Palace I bloody love him.

Then what happened was that he left in a way that caused the maximum damage to Crystal Palace. He was sued and lost and had to pay us millions.

I can't think of another time when a Crystal Palace manager left while attempting to wreak havoc - oh hold on - and I'm not thinking of Venables

Dowie, Bruce

 

[SnapperKain]

He only ran his mouth off yesterday because he already has a new role lined up. You don't put yourself in the shop window by rants against your benefactors such as that.

I would suggest that getting fired would benefit his new Guvnors as they could have his services immediately at no cost. I hope he was warned today that he would incur conduct finest if he were to carry on with disparaging public comments.

The conspiracy side of my brain says that Spurs had tapped him up already and losing Guehi is a good excuse to lose his s*** and get himself fired so he can leave immediatly and try and claim some kind of high ground. Spurs overjoyed as there's no compensation to pay us.

I've lost a massive amount of respect for Glasner over this, as we all knew that there was a possibility that Guehi could go in this window. This club is the size that it is and we are a club that will sell our better players if a bigger club comes in. Glasner would have known this when he joined, so not sure why he's so surprised by it all. In fact the Guehi deal shows that, Man City have an injury crisis and think "ah you know what, let's just buy Guehi, 20 mill should do it" and nothing we can do about it if Guehi wants to go (which he obviously does).

Doesn't look like we've lined anyone up yet as a replacement and Parish is to blame there, but Glasner's tantrum is just pathetic and toxic. What must the players on the bench think when he says there's no-one to come on? To say that in an interview? Tosser move that.

I think his outburst is calculated. If this was the first time he could have been cut some slack, but it seems like it's not the first time. Given that he had already given advance notice to Parish that he was leaving (and presumably an honest explanation of why), then yesterday's performance was pure theatrics. I think he is more concerned with how he appears to the outside world and cultivate the myth that he has been hard done by rather than having any altruistic motivation.

There will be a number of Chairmen today who will be plenty miffed that Parish hasn't fired him - put it like that.

Being cynical, I'm looking at a 5 minute rant to the BBC which has been reported as being edited from over 10 mins, then he mouths the same into the Sky mic. It all looks miserably contrived. I'm hugely disappointed but we are now into a game of chess with other clubs over Herr Glasner's fortunes. I would expect Tottenham to break cover before the month is out.

But the A35 and A31 are a pain in the arse.
He’d need another holiday after that.

I once saw somebody get so frustrated waiting in traffic on the A31 that they drove straight across the middle of a grass and plant filled large roundabout to get off it.

Might be easier for all concerned if the two managers swapped jobs on 4 month contracts.
We’d be a better fit than spurs for Frank.
Brennan might not be so keen though

Maybe we could put a few managers on a rotation scheme like they do graduate schemes at big companies. Do 4 months with a club and then rotate to the next one.

If the board don’t fire him then it puts OG in a challenging position. Right now if he was fired he can point to the cup success and blame our current disastrous form on not being backed. If he stays, we get Munoz and Sarr back and results continue to be poor then even the most ardent fan of his has to conclude he’s the issue. In that scenario his chances of getting a big job are low.

Nice and easy to be in demand when you won the cup and go on an unbeaten 19 game run. Bit of a different case when you can’t compete with Macclesfield and haven’t won in ten and counting. If that becomes can’t win in 14 or 15 and we don’t get into the next stages in Europe then he looks like a busted flush.

Many a manager have lost to Parish.

Works for Forest….oh wait.

Forest are less a grad scheme and more a zero hours contract

Quite surprising to see how Angry Ollie was in that interview, months of frustration boiled over.

It doesn’t usually pay to upset angry little Austrians😅

 

[The Schnitzel]

I dont think thats true

In fact it is not true, you are right. At least when it came to Schmadtke at Wolfsburg, the problems were the same: missing and/or bad transfers. Which was discussed in public. Schmadtke is not that kind of person you would want to meet "in the ring". But, as much as I really appreciate OG, especially as a fellow Austrian, it just seems like the very, very same pattern in comparison to that, what OG delivered in the recent interview. So i can NOT take away any responsibility from OG in my mind. Sad.

Just my impression.

That never was a good idea. But I am glad, that it was the other Austrian, who did not make it to England...

And at least palace have already been to Poland incase Ollie had any ideas in his current state of mind 🤣

 

[SnapperKain]

This might have been said already, but I can't bring myself to read all the pages of rants in this thread so apologies if it has, but haven't we spent more on players since Glasner arrived than what we got from selling them?

Perhaps I'm looking at this from too simplistic a cash flow basis, but we brought in £63.8 million from sales in the summer:

• Eze - £59.6 million
• Eduoard - £3.2 million
• Ebiowei - £1 million

and we brought in:

• Benetiz - £0
• Sosa - £3 million
• Canvot - £17.5 million
• Pino - £26 million
• Johnson - £35 million

which is £81.5 million, so we spent £21.9 million more that what we brought in from selling players.

So what exactly is Glasner expecting here? For a club of our size and taking into account FFP, I would say that we have invested? Granted the quality of those players aren't an exact match, but that's one first team player out and five players in that could start or be on the bench. We can't replace outgoing players like for like, we simply don't have the funds to do that. Also, this is our model, we bring in young players, build them up and sell them on, there's no way he couldn't have known that! Also, in terms of supporting the squad, we also brough in Munoz, Wharton, Nketiah, Kamada and Sarr (and Esse, but he doesn't seem to like him) after Olise went. Not supported? Really?

We're also investing in a new stand and having to borrow to do that, so not like player sales are financing that?
