Is Glasner the problem?

Glasner is a top manager.

I blame our crazy selling of all the talent and buying in unproven, untested, uninitiated strangers.

April/May we were mustard. Now ? a ramshackle squad of newcomers married to our lesser journeymen.

Change manager and all the problems will continue or even worsen.

How much worse can it be than 8 games, no wins, 5 goals and only 3 points? I think we all agree the summer transfer business was pretty awful but at least two of those were OG signings with the worst of them being his first choice pick. I can’t see we lose anything by changing manager now and if we leave it longer we may find we have a gap that is too big to close to avoid relegation. Hope I am proved wrong.

Both Steve Parish and Mark Bright looked as sour as a mulberry with faces shouting out "Misery ! Misery!".
On their faces fell expressions of disgust.

Where do mulberries rate on the sourness scale? Silkworms like them and people must go round bushes of them for a reason other than bitterness.

Who signed those unproven, untested, uninitiated strangers?

Spurs and wolves next, can’t see any joy there, plus going out of the cup to Villa.

I reckon Moyes is t a bad shout at this stage, might be worth a bet.

Spurs and Villa are more or less a write off but Wolves is a tough one to swallow.
Ah, well, it's only football.
 
The club is a dysfunctional mess from top to bottom.

This is down to Parish and his stubborn desire to cling to power.

He is the minority shareholder but continues to run the club employing his old pals in random roles. (What does Mark Brought, however nice a guy and however much a Palace hero actually do?)

We have a major shareholder who not only wants out, but also seems to be himself having financial difficulties (with Eagle holdings late in submission of its accounts) and our own ship structure with Parish in control means no one in their right mind wants to pump their name Ney in and see someone else control it.

We seem to have a director of football who however good some signings are controls transfers and clearly some of these do not fit the managers style of play. This with a manager known to favour a rigid style.

In the summer we sold some great players and replaced them with inferior versions and odd signings like Kamada who being played out of position looks poor. We have other players wanting away.

So I reckon our problems run deeper than the manager and could see our relegation and further sales of some very talented players

We are far worse right now than the sum of our parts
 
Jamie Carragher expressed some surprise that a little club like Palace could get a top top manager like Glasner. I expect Glasner is now wondering the same thing. Capable of getting a job in the Champions League and managing some footballing-royalty. Glasner probably now regrets besmirching his illustrious CV with a failed stint at an English club with no financial ambition.

I am reminded of seeing Carlo Ancelotti managing Everton.

If Glasner walks, of his own accord, we will be doomed. Effectively, Back in the Championship by Christmas.

No idea if OG is the problem. He seems just as frustrated and upset as us.

However, I watch teams in the Championship with envy. They play better football than us, have some exceptional players and are well managed. Why did we not focus more on buying players from the Championship?

Dare I say it, would it really be that bad if we dropped down a league, re-built the team and started fresh.
 
If Glasner stays as manager we will be relegated, he will put the same formation and play the same tactics (is there any) week in week out until he is sacked, the loss of Olise and Andersen were crucial to the formation, and were replaced by inappropriate players for the formation, he is completely inflexible, its like Vieira all over again, his sacking saved us, and the sacking of Glasner for a more flexible manager is the only answer to avoid the drop, so do it now, or endure the pain of loss after loss.

It’s a results business and the results are just about as bad as they could be. 8 games, no wins, 5 goals. Haven’t looked like winning a single one of them. Past reputations don’t keep you up, points do. OG hasn’t shown any sign he can turn this around and keeps doing the same things that aren’t working. Leave it longer and we will be cut adrift.
 
I think Glasner is a good manager and built up a lot of credit

However, his own stubborness could cost him his job - and we've seen that before with vieira.

I really want Kamada to be good and last night it genuinely looked like he had no idea where was supposed to be playing? and that comes from the manager

Subbing Eddie when he was our most dangerous player? As soon as that sub happened we didnt get in their half for the next 20 mins

Id honestly rather of him started Sarr or Agibionne (sorry if spelling is wrong) as atleast it would of given Munoz an outlet down the right.

All being said, we didnt sign a natural replacement for Olise (and there was players out there - Smith Rowe, Carvalho, Nusa etc)

Instead we signed Nketiah (who I rate, but did we really need him over another wing back/10?)

Lacroix is the only new signing who I think has been fairly good.

I think Glasner will get the next 2 games, and then another firefighter will be in during the november internationals - a sad indictment of that our club has become

Would also like just some bloody luck to go our way however - ever since the eze free kick against brentford its just been downhill and depressing
