Glasner Out

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
I cant see how. The players are playing for him. They love him.
 
That's as maybe, but not many boards like hiring an outspoken manager. I think the interview did just as much damage to his reputation.
His team on a bad run of form.
Pent-up frustration regarding the 'Windows'.
Angered that he was told the day before that his captain was unavailable.
His team had just been defeated to make it no wins in 10 games
Interviewed when emotions running high.
Perhaps in the 'Cold light of day' he regrets making such statements.

Arsenal, Liverpool, and Man City all have directors who work with the manager on all transfers. They have a number of bodies involved and the manager is always part of the process.
Where is the evidence that OG isn’t involved in transfers? Do you think Lacroix and Kamada would have joined without OG recommending them? Apparently him talking to Johnson was part of the process in Johnson joining us for a club record fee.

Do you think any Premier League club would involve their manager in negotiating terms with a buying club when they are selling a player?
 
So he was helpless and couldn’t do anything? Taking out Sarr and Munoz means we can’t compete with Macclesfield? In that case we should definitely get rid of him as clearly the manager has no impact. Might as well save ourselves £4m a year.

As I say I didn’t expect this period to be easy but let’s not pretend OG is blameless here either from what we are seeing on the pitch or off it.
It’s not all about Macclesfield. We would be in this situation regardless of that one game.

Would another manager be able to keep the form up from the first 1/3 of the season with a barebones squad? Or even have achieved it in the first place? Doubtful. That’s where he earns his £4m.

I would be just as worried if he has no concerns about the situation he has been put in. It’s a natural response. He could word himself better and more calmly, that’s obviously the demeanor he has and he is an emotional guy, that has it’s advantages too in this game.
 
Because if he picks up an injury Crystal Palace lose £20m. Pretty simple explanation. And given the minutes Marc has played he was probably due one. And perhaps Marc didn't want to miss his chance if he got an injury and said as much?

This situation happens all the time. Players dropped because they have a move lined up. For Glasner to say it has never happened before in his knowledge is totally ridiculous and disingenuous. Just like he forgot FFP and PSR existed. Or that we'd just broken our transfer record on a player he sanctioned.
Didn't stop Semenyo playing until the last minute for Bournemouth and indeed scoring the winner and giving a MOM performance in his last game.
Why is it ok for Semenyo but not for Guehi?
Furthermore, if clubs routinely left out players due to move during transfer windows it would be a very strange set of affairs.

Yes I imagine if he could do that interview again now he would not have said what he did. I often think its a bit unfair to shove a mic in a manager,s face 5 minutes after a defeat. How do we all expect them to react? they're human

If we finish the season four places lower without Marc than we would with him, we still lose that money, and the fee only replaces prize money lost. Any more places and it amounts to a loss. Plus the effect on the European competition which again, is money lost.

No. I expected our form to dip as I’ve said several times. There is a difference between a dip and a complete collapse though. We’ve got two points from 7 games. Put that form over a season and we would pick up 11 points. Do I think another manager could do better than that with the currently available players? Yes

I don’t know. I think it was calculated. He said the same thing in different interviews yesterday. It wasn’t just a spur of the moment emotional reaction.
 
I genuinely didn't hear him say that, but I'm not saying you're making it up
For what it's worth, if he did say that and was referring to players on the bench, I agree with him
He shouldn't say it in public though.
Ok fair. He didn’t use those exact words. You are right on that. It was heavily implied in his remarks though as I heard them but I accept it is open to interpretation.

If we take him at his word, he had no idea it was happening until 10am the same day.

If you are involved in the negotiations, how can that be possible?

Yes, most premier league clubs usually they do involve the manager in the negotiation, even to this day. It’s not so long ago the manager used to facilitate the entire negotiation on his own.

Pretty obvious again. Semenyo signed a new long term contract with Bournemouth in July 2025 extending his deal to 2030. So they could have sold him in the summer for the same money. Last chance to get anything for Marc

that says to me no self control , I loved management like that spit there dummy out but wouldn't look at there part in failure ,then when told that was the issue and not make adjustments ,
was Glasner told
A. we will strength the squad or B. we only have 60m to play with to strength the squad , at his interview ,
im sure parish didnt say we had 120m to spend on the squad each window or season , Ive really lost faith in glasner , he is acting like a spoilt child , if he really loved the club for what we are he would have got on with the job and also committed , Roy done best for the club , Coppell to , since them two its whats best for them , sad indictment of todays football

I can well believe he wasn’t told about an outgoing player until a transfer offer had been made and accepted. Even then though he himself had said he knew Guhei would go this window if the fee was right so he knew Guehi could go hence he must have discussed it with the board. So involved.

He was also very heavily involved in whether Guehi left in the summer because Parish didn’t sell him on Glasner’s insistence.

I find it hard to believe Premier League managers are regularly involved in the exact timing (to the hour and day) of players being sold and find it equally hard to believe they negotiate the fee and terms with buying clubs. However, if you have facts and evidence to the contrary I will happily stand corrected

And if you saw what he said on 7th January in his press conference he absolutely knew it was a possibility and absolutely knew it would happen if Palace were offered the money they wanted and Marc wanted the move.
