@jtlcubs23: Glasner’s outburst was in all probability an try to get sacked. However after speaking with Parish he in all probability understands that Palace received’t let him depart early with out monetary compensation, and if he doesn’t begin successful matches the job provides may dry up by summer season. New angle now.
@andylatts: That’s the Glasner I do know! Comfortable he defined every little thing & was his traditional self, hopefully the membership + fanbase can transfer on, hopefully get the gamers in we’d like & get behind group for remainder of season! #cpfc
@barrie8: I felt for Glasner. Suppose he was actually gutted about Eze. And actually believed with him right here we may smash this season, the assumption left with Ebs. Additionally seems like he’s lacking his household, which he can’t be criticised for. This in all probability has an enormous bearing on his resolution making.
@Alex6264: It’s all about him. While you begin to check with your self within the third particular person you’ve misplaced it. Needed to get sacked so he may transfer on and blame the membership. Didn’t work out, couldn’t stroll away with out damaging his model, so now totally invested. Cynical Bollocks. Disappointing.
@fant1345: I can’t get previous the truth that he really refused to convey on a single sub at Sunderland – simply so he may arrange his post-match tantrum. He didn’t need to save some extent, he wished to make one. That’s how a lot Palace means to him…
@gidleymike: It has actually soured his legacy with the supporters. This gesture of hope we had, that he would talk about his future with SP, when fixtures allowed, was dismissed in such a manner, that he may rightly be accused of fabrication. Unlikely to regain the entire belief we’ve got loved.
@22deans: If Crystal Palace signifies that a lot to him, why not signal a brand new contract!
@ljbrameld: Discover it laborious to consider that. I can see you’re keen on a number of the gamers – however past that there’s no proof we imply that a lot to you. 😩
@robertmark1976: After listening to that Glasner Press convention I’m optimistic once more, let’s hope it’s onwards and upwards COYP #cpfc
@DeePalace_: Simply completed Glasner’s press convention, feels just like the air’s been cleared between him and Parish.

@neiog: Wow, simply listening to Oliver Glasner breads perception@ All questions in Press Conf immediately answered with intelligence & nicely dealt with. What a Prime Man! No formal switch request submitted by Mateta. Dinner with Steve Parish this week & all pulling collectively for subsequent 4 months ❤️💙

@ballerjoe_cpfc: A lesson in not believing every little thing you learn: Mateta HASN’T handed in a switch request. Glasner DID MEET Parish for dinner, they each aired their grievances & will transfer ahead positively. Glasner apologised, citing how a lot he cares for #cpfc membership being behind the outburst
@SteveK1969: So Mateta hasn’t really handed in a switch request and Glasner has confirmed that he’s 100% dedicated to serving to Palace end the season robust. Can we now simply draw a line underneath it please and get behind the group. #cpfc 🔴🔵🦅
