Glasner's Exit a Final Nail in the Coffin of Palace's Season
Crystal Palace's season has been nothing short of disastrous, and the announcement that Oliver Glasner will be leaving the club at the end of the season seems like the final straw. The Austrian manager, who led the team to their first major trophy by beating Manchester City in the FA Cup final nearly eight months ago, has worn his heart on his sleeve throughout the campaign, criticizing the club's lack of investment and urging them not to become "one-hit wonders".
Glasner's departure comes after a run of nine games without a win that has seen Palace plummet down the table. The team is lacking confidence and resources, making it difficult to see how they can mount a successful challenge under their next manager.
The most pressing question on everyone's mind is who will take over from Glasner. The club has been linked with several potential candidates, including Getafe's José Bordalás and Rayo Vallecano's Iñigo Pérez. However, it remains to be seen whether any of these individuals can inspire a turnaround in Palace's fortunes.
Glasner's own future is also shrouded in uncertainty, with rumors that he may be set to join Manchester United or another top club. While his departure from Palace has been a disaster for the team, it seems unlikely to be the end of Glasner's managerial career.
The situation at Crystal Palace is far from clear-cut, but one thing is certain - their season will never be forgotten.

palaces season has been SO sad!!! i feel so bad 4 oliver glasner he led the team to that FA cup final & now he's leaving @ the end of the season 
poor guy he was really passionate about the club & wanted them 2 succeed so much 
. but like, what's gonna happen next at the club? jose bordalás or inigo pérez sound like decent options? maybe palace should just focus on rebuilding rather than trying to become a top 4 team again 
. and omg glasner might be joining man utd?! that would be wild 
!
. It feels like it's all just a PR stunt at this point.
he's been vocal about the club not investing enough in the team and I think that's a valid point... like, who invests money in a football club without getting something back? 
it's not like Palace was going to win the league this season anyway. The pressure must be on the new gaffer to turn things around, but if anyone can do it, it's Iñigo Pérez 
he seems like a decent manager and all... don't count out José Bordalás either, Getafe are doing alright so yeah, let's give these guys a chance 
palace needs to stop making rash decisions and take a long hard look at their strategy 
glasner was the right man for this job, now who's gonna turn it around? 
Bordalás sounds like a decent option tho, fingers crossed he can work his magic 
. It feels like every manager who comes in leaves with their head hung low. Remember when Alan Pardew took over back in 2015? He was all fired up, same as Glasner. He wanted to turn the team around and make Palace relevant again. But, just like now, it didn't quite work out 
. Nowadays, it feels like they're just trying to fill gaps without making a real impact.
. And who knows, maybe Palace will learn from their mistakes and come back stronger next season...but history says otherwise 
.
The writing is on the wall for Palace now...
. whoever takes over next gotta bring some real change, not just slap a new coat of paint on the same old team 
.
️. gotta feel bad for glasner, though...
. I mean, they had such high hopes after winning the FA Cup and all, but it's just been a downward spiral since then. Glasner's comments about not getting enough investment were spot on, imo 
. The important thing is for Palace to get their house in order and start making some smart moves behind the scenes 
.
. Losing a manager can be tough, but it's also a chance to rebuild and start again from scratch. I mean, they've already shown that they can do something amazing by winning the FA Cup, so why not try something different now? 
. And let's be real, Palace fans are a dedicated bunch, they'll support whoever they choose as long as it's someone who cares about the team and wants to make them proud 
. I don't see any of those coaches they're linking with being able to turn it around. Bordalás and Pérez are basically journeymen managers trying to cling to relevancy. And what about Glasner leaving for Man U? Like, who wouldn't want to jump ship from a sinking ship like Palace? 
. And now, with Glasner leaving, it's like they're throwing in the towel already 
. The only silver lining is that Palace will never be able to say they didn't try hard under a new manager 
.
