Crystal Palace Keeps Glasner in Charge After Outburst Over Guehi Sale

His criticism centers on being told of his captain’s Manchester City move only a day before a match.

Overview

  • Club officials held crisis talks and now expect Oliver Glasner to see out his contract through the end of the season.
  • Marc Guehi was left out as he closes in on a reported £20m transfer to Manchester City, with no formal replacement secured.
  • Glasner said he first learned of the Guehi deal at 10:30 the day before facing Sunderland and accused the hierarchy of abandoning a thin squad.
  • He has confirmed he will leave at season’s end; the stance follows a 2-1 defeat at Sunderland that extended Palace’s winless run to 10 and came after an FA Cup exit to Macclesfield.
  • Pundits including Alan Shearer and Wayne Rooney questioned his future, and reporting indicates his remarks have unsettled some potential suitors.
