Voldemort …

[see_change]

I’ve been a palace fan since I first saw them in 68 . Since 69 , I’ve been living in Sydney , watching from afar .

Question .

Has any manager ever been so disrespectful of our club ?

Saying what he said , in the middle of a transfer window , while we’re negotiating with players ? WTF !!!

He’s been saying he wants the best for club , but that shows that he’s only interested in one thing . Himself.

For me , from now on, Crystal Palace won the 25 FA cup .

If anyone outside the players who deserve credit , it’s Steve Parish.

Steve Parish saved the club from extinction and has built the club into an established EPL team and spearheaded the club , recruiting players and other people.

Crystal palace won the FA cup in 25 .

No respect for that guy who helped out .

Now he is playing the role of Voldemort . The destroyer .

He who must not be named .

Petty , maybe , and maybe in time I’ll changed my mind , but yesterday was disgusting by him , and I don’t intend to mention his name again .

Cheer Cliff

Crystal Palace football club cannot afford to let players in the calibre of Marc Guehi leave the club for nothing, fact like it or not. That basically means we are a selling club in situations like this. The board the fans knew and Guehi made it plainly obvious that he was not going to sign a new contract ages ago and I believe that he would have gone to Liverpool earlier in the close season if the club had a replacement lined up but Liverpool were playing hardball over his valuation.

When Oliver Glasner agreed to became Palace manager he knew from the very start that Crystal Palace are a selling club if offers for players came in, this club would take a very hard look at what was on offer and if it was right for the club then that player would be sold. OG knew what he was getting into, it’s hard specially for the fans to see the clubs best players been sold, but Steve Parish has made it plainly clear in the past interviews that if a player wants to leave then they won’t stand in his way and again basically have to do best for the club.

On the other hand the timing of Guehi sale has to be questioned considering how close it was to the Sunderland game and the importance of getting something out of the game to stop this bad run of games loss. 20million for Guehi is a steal and City are getting a gem of a player, but like it or not £20million to a club like CPFC is a lot.
Oliver Glasner has done wonders for the club, the best manager this club has had there is no denying that and winning the FA Cup and Community Shield has increased his stock and on that note everybody knows when a manager is successful big clubs come sniffing. Once again OG knew how this club was run as diehard fans we know how bloody frustrating it is but this club never do things the easy way always make life difficult and as always it’s the fans that get hit the most.

Surely coaches like Ollie are perfect for a club like ours because he improves players and there is inherent value added when it comes to say farewell when they move on.

Jesus Christ the Parish love-in on here is absurd.

Yes, the best Manager we have ever had is Voldemort and deserves zero credit for the only 2 trophies we’ve ever won.

Give that same team to Roy Hodgson and see how close to the FA Cup he gets - and I respect Roy massively for saving us.

Best football we’ve ever played, not just winning a cup but doing it in style and bringing belief of good times and progression given to the fans, only for your boy Parish and Co to tighten the purse strings and show ZERO ambition.

Not love in . Respect , and now …. has shown the club none . The complete opposite

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

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.

I totally agree with your comments, and the way Glasner has gone on and slated the board is appalling and not very professional considering this club took a big chance on him. Winning the FA Cup and C.S, the press linking him to bigger clubs home and abroad seems to have gone to his head, specially Manchester United job.

It seems these out bursts and disagreements with his employed clubs is nothing knew at Wolfsburg Glasner had the same issues and disagreements on player recruitments and investment despite a successful second season where he guided the club to a fourth-place finish and Champions League qualification.
Glasner also had a bad relationship with the Wolfenberg director of football, could that have been the same with Freedman, strange how he left at such short notice.

As for yesterdays game at Sunderland OG stated he couldn’t fault the players desire and they played with their hearts on their sleeves, but made no substitutions because we just had kids on the bench, that for Christ sake is how you breed and give confidence to these kids and find new talent, who knows one of these so called kids could have got or won us the match. No this no subs thing was another Glasner strop in my eyes.

As for Steve Parish I think he is a very hard and difficult person to work with. He has this stubborn way he wants this club run, rules on player recruitment and selling. Wants this new stand built at all costs has the final say on everything, this I believe is why this club can’t keep hold of a good manager as we have seen in the past stubborn guidelines that basically after a while wear the manager down.
Once again it does nothing for the reputation of CPFC just makes this club a laughing stock.

If he were perfect he would have done that for Nketiah, Esse, Uche, Rak-Sakyi, Franca etc.

Glasner is clearly a very successful coach, and those players, and the people who decided to sign them are not perfect, but neither is Ollie Glasner.

Agree with all of this. For a man who comes across as so measured and analytical, OG really looked frayed at the edges yesterday - rising hackles at a pretty sensible question from Vicky Sparks, trembling voice, suicide-note references to the board, etc. Not good. But I think we saw a case of the train driver wanting to run the railway, and I don't think our Thin Controller can allow that to happen. When Pulis got smart about a similar issue a dozen years ago, he was shunted off with little ceremony and not many regrets from the fans.
Obviously OG is forever a Palace legend (as for best manager, I think that remains Stevie), and those days last spring are immortal. But I don't think he's shown much wisdom for months now. Coming on the media and constantly fretting about a small squad, injuries, AFCON, etc., might reflect some of the truth, but it surely just spread the jitters in the squad, conditioning them to think they were onto a hiding every time they hit the pitch. And when a team could do with a confidence lift with a win against a small team, how about putting on the first-team players so they can administer a feel-good trouncing, and not give the opposition a lift with the feeling they could maybe do something against a line-up that had never played together before? Would the team have been so dismal against Leeds if they'd had a good night against KuPS?
I can't see him staying. What a shame it's all fallen to bits so soon. I can't help thinking our woes began when that Brighton stripe appeared on the first-team shirt....
