Crystal Palace Keep Glasner Until Season’s End After Public Board Criticism

Club sources signal a priority on stability despite a depleted squad, with the reported sale of captain Marc Guehi increasing strain on results.

Overview

  • Multiple outlets report Palace held talks on Sunday and decided not to dismiss Oliver Glasner, expecting him to see out his contract through the summer.
  • Glasner had announced on Friday that he informed the club in October he would leave when his deal expires at season’s end.
  • His remarks followed a 2-1 defeat at Sunderland that extended Palace’s winless run to 10 games, with the manager saying only 12 or 13 senior players were available and no substitutions were made.
  • Reports say Palace accepted a bid of about £20m from Manchester City for captain Marc Guehi, a decision Glasner condemned for its timing, while chairman Steve Parish was described as angered by the comments.
  • Context includes the summer sale of Eberechi Eze to Arsenal and fresh speculation over Jean-Philippe Mateta, with separate reports linking Glasner to bigger jobs such as Manchester United in the summer.
