‘Abandoned’ or ‘business’ – was Glasner right to ‘attack’ Palace owners?

However, the confirmation that Marc Guehi, captain of Manchester City, would be leaving the club for £20million and Oliver Glasner, manager, would end the season, provided proof.

When Glasner claimed he felt his squad is being “abandoned completely” by the club’s hierarchy, those hopes were all but extinguished on Saturday when Palace fans hoped he would enjoy his final seasons at Selhurst Park.

Although Alan Shearer and Wayne Rooney both claimed on Saturday’s Match of the Day that they saw no way for him to stay in charge, according to BBC Sport, there are no immediate plans to sack Glasner.

The Austrian claimed the defender and he had planned the entire week’s trip to the Stadium of Light, but he never learned that Palace had reached a transfer agreement with City on Friday morning.

He claimed on BBC Match of the Day, “I think we are completely abandoned.”

“We don’t feel any support from the squad because we have 12 or 13 players available.”

Selling our captain one day before a Premier League game is the worst thing, they say.

Glasner compared the situation to that of Eberechi Eze’s sale to Arsenal at the start of the Premier League season, blaming both for giving the impression that the club’s heart had been “torn out.”

After winning the FA Cup last year and eventually being admitted to Europe’s Conference League, Glasner has made numerous public appeals for Palace to strengthen their squad so they can compete on a variety of fronts.

However, it is obvious that his pleas have fallen on deaf ears after spending less than £30 million on four players last summer.

For the 2-1 defeat at Sunderland, Glasner appointed two goalkeepers and a number of academy players on the bench. His side haven’t won a Premier League game since December 7th.

Is it appropriate for Glasner to come out like this and be so critical of his own boss, said Julien Laurens, a member of the European football expert? He has previously attacked co-owner Steve Parish and the board.

No manager at any level would be happy if someone from his club said to your captain and perhaps your best player can’t play in the league because they have just sold him to Manchester City on a Friday morning.

Palace are out of both the FA Cup and League Cup at the halfway point of the season, but they are still on pace to stay in the top flight for a 14th season despite having only won one of their last eight Premier League games.

Next month, Palace and Zrinjski Mostar will compete in a two-legged play-off tie in the Conference League.

The South London club could only play 18 games until the end of the season, that is.

The decision to cash in on Guehi now makes sense in Parish’s eyes.

Alan Shearer, a former England international, agrees.

On Match of the Day, he said, “I get his frustration but you look at Crystal Palace as a business.” To get £20 million now, I get that because they would lose a really good player for nothing in the summer.

Connor Coady, a former Wolves defender, told BBC Radio 5 Live: “I don’t like what he has done.

“Seeing them argue against one another doesn’t seem to be the best way to portray Crystal Palace,” said one witness.

“Palace must sell Guehi,” they say. Not Manchester City, but rather Place. With a very small squad, I played for Wolves in Europe. We never complained; instead, we cracked on. That is life, really.

In addition to Michael Olise, Wilfried Zaha, Yannick Bolasie, and, of course, Eze, who all left the club for high fees during Parish’s tenure, Palace have also sold highly sought-after players.

Former England captain Steph Houghton remarked, “The evolution of football clubs is that, unfortunately, your best players move on to better clubs that are playing in the Champions League and European football.

You have Jean-Phillipe Mateta and Adam Wharton, who could be the next two major household names to move, but Glasner is the only one to do that.

Nedum Onouha, an ex-Manchester City defender, stated on BBC Radio 5 Live: “In today’s world, maybe this is Palace’s identity; they will look to sell the younger players.”

“Glasner did a fantastic job, support him,” Gluckner said. Is Glasner mistaken to believe that when the club is actually who they are?

Look no further than Glasner’s post-match remarks on Saturday to find out if there was ever a football manager who appeared to be actively looking for the sack.

After being informed a little over 24 hours prior that captain Guehi was being sold to Manchester City for £20m, Glasner launched into an astonishing tirade in which he claimed the club had “abandoned” the team after they had just lost 2-1 at Sunderland, extending their winless streak to 10 games.

Glasner will argue that his divisive remarks reflect his sincere opinions.

Some within the club are skeptical of Glasner’s alleged motives because they believe Parish should have had no choice but to sack him.

With around £2 million left on his current contract and a pay-off, it might be appropriate for Glasner to depart from Selhurst Park with a pay-off, as he has already stated that he will do so when his contract expires, and it would be appropriate for the coach to do so with a pay-off as soon as possible.

If Glasner’s intention to force him to leave sooner than later, Palace has failed to do so.

After internal discussions, Palace anticipates that Glasner’s position will last until his contract expires at the end of the season.

What the club can do as a whole to improve their current poor form has been the subject of discussions since Sunderland’s defeat.

It appears that Glasner will have to resign and waive any termination package if the club and manager decide to leave before the summer.

In the same way, we shouldn’t discount the fact that Palace would be compensated if another club made a decision to appoint Glasner between now and the end of the season as a result.

For instance, Tottenham are considering changing their management after Thomas Frank’s underwhelming performance since taking over as manager in June.

Before the club’s eventual choice in 2023 to appoint Ange Postecoglou, Glasner spoke with Tottenham before the final meeting.

If Spurs were to appoint Glasner for a potential position, Palace would be due compensation for doing so.
