Crystal Palace's woes show no signs of abating as their season continues to spiral out of control, with the departure of Austrian manager Oliver Glasner set to compound one of the worst weeks in the club's history. Eight months since leading the side to an FA Cup triumph over Manchester City, Glasner had always been a divisive figure, and his bombshell announcement that he will leave Selhurst Park at the end of the season comes as no surprise.
Glasner's frustration with Palace's failure to reinvest the record fee received from Arsenal for Eberechi Eze was clear during their debut campaign in Europe. Despite reaching 19 matches unbeaten, the manager urged the club not to become "one-hit wonders" and insisted he was committed to Palace. However, his criticism of the lack of activity in the squad, particularly regarding Marc Guéhi's transfer to Manchester City, suggests a deeper issue with the club's direction.
Guéhi's move to City has left Palace reeling, with doubts over several other players' futures. Jean-Philippe Mateta is reportedly wanted by Juventus, while Adam Wharton and Daniel Muñoz are coveted by bigger clubs. The Japan midfielder Daichi Kamada's injury-plagued season has also raised questions about his future at the club.
Now that Glasner is leaving, the real question is who will replace him? Palace have looked at Getafe's José Bordalás and Rayo Vallecano's Iñigo Pérez as potential successors, although Ipswich's Kieran McKenna remains a contender. Brendan Rodgers could also be in the frame, despite taking over at Al-Qadsiah last month.
Glasner's track record has shown that he can get results, but Palace's lack of investment and resources have made it difficult for him to succeed. His departure raises concerns about the club's ability to sustain a European campaign and satisfy their ambitious manager.
As Glasner looks to move on to his next challenge, one place in particular stands out: Manchester United. Despite a tumultuous tenure under him, the former Palace boss has already made an impact at Old Trafford and will relish the opportunity to test himself at the biggest club in England. However, for Palace fans, the news of Glasner's departure is just another blow in what has been one of the worst weeks in the club's history.

crystal palace is literally falling apart and it's all because of glasner's frustration with the squad not getting re-invested... like seriously, 8 months since they won that fa cup and they still can't get it together... guéhi leaving was a huge blow and now they're left wondering what to do with mateta and kamada 
i'm literally on the edge of my seat waiting for whoever takes over glasner's job... does anyone think it'll be mckenna or rodgers tho? 
anyway back to crystal palace... i feel bad for them they really need someone who can turn their season around, but it seems like they're not getting any younger 
also i wonder what the squad would look like if they invested in some new players? maybe someone with skills similar to say cristiano ronaldo or something like that? 
Crystal Palace is literally falling apart 
Their squad situation is insane, like who knew Guéhi was wanted by City?! 
And now Glasner's gone... it's just one bad news after another 
The fact that they're trying to replace him with McKenna or whatever other random manager is just mind numbing 
Can't Palace do anything right for once?! 
. Like, how are you gonna make a squad work when you're not getting new players in? It's all so... frustrating 
... I'm sure he'll thrive under the big lights 
, but for Palace fans, it's just another reminder of what could've been if the club had made some savvy moves 
. I guess you can't blame him for wanting a new challenge, though 
.
. Palace's lack of investment and resources is a classic case of "you get what you pay for" 
️. If they'd actually spent that record fee on decent players instead of just signing anyone, they wouldn't be in this mess 
️. It's all about priorities, folks - does football matter more than profit? 
. i think palace need to sort out their transfer business and start building a solid squad if they want to stay in europe... it's not just about getting results, it's about being sustainable too 
! The stats on their performance this season are MIND-BLOWING 
- 4 major players have left or been linked to leave in the past few weeks, including Guéhi, Mateta, Wharton, and Muñoz.
Palace's goal difference this season: -14 (worst in the league)
Their average attendance: 20,000 ( lowest in the Premier League)
! The question on everyone's mind now is who'll replace him? I reckon it'll be one of the aforementioned coaches, but we'll just have to wait and see. On a related note, Manchester United are probably going to sign Glasner ASAP 
, given their track record under him...
.
. The fact that some of these top players are getting transferred away must be a huge blow... I wish they could've done more to keep Guéhi and Mateta, but I guess that's just the reality of football sometimes 
.

I'm not surprised by Oliver Glasner's departure, tbh 
.
. On the other hand, Manchester United have been on a roll since Ole Gunnar Solskjær's departure, winning 7 out of their last 10 matches 
. Meanwhile, Manchester United have maintained an impressive 55% possession share 
. I guess you could say that Glasner might've been the right man for the job, but unfortunately, it just wasn't meant to be 
. Did you know that Crystal Palace are one of the only Premier League teams without a European trophy? 
... I mean, 8 months since winning an FA cup with them and they're already struggling again 
. The club just can't seem to get its act together
