Crystal Palace Manager Slams Board, Cites Player Exodus as Reason for Frustration
Oliver Glasner was left visibly frustrated following his side's 2-1 defeat to Sunderland on Saturday. The Austrian manager expressed his dissatisfaction with the club's board, stating that they have "abandoned" their players.
Glasner's remarks come in the wake of another heavy blow to Palace's morale, as star player Eberechi Eze made a summer move to Arsenal and captain Marc Guehi is rumored to be close to joining Manchester City. This double loss has left Glasner feeling like he can no longer keep quiet about his concerns.
"I'm not going to stay silent anymore," the manager said. "The board's actions have hurt my players, and I won't stand for it."
Palace's struggles on the pitch are evident in their recent performances, with many believing that the team is losing its identity due to key player departures. Glasner's comments suggest that he is at his wit's end, and the situation may be more dire than initially thought.
While Palace fans hold out hope for a turnaround in form, it remains to be seen if the club can regroup and find solace in their current talent pool. The question on everyone's lips now is: will Glasner's patience wear thin, or will he find a way to steer his side back onto track?

I think Oliver Glasner's outburst is kinda justified tbh... the board needs to step up and offer better support for their players 
like, investing in youth talent or something. It's not all about just throwing money at big-name signings 
it's not that hard to see why Glasner's frustrated when his star players are leaving left and right 
... i feel so bad for oliver glasner, like he's stuck between a rock and a hard place. the board needs to step up their game, seriously, how can they expect him to keep quiet when the players are leaving left and right? it's not just about Eberechi Eze and Marc Guehi, there must be other factors at play too... have they even considered giving some younger players a chance? 
... i'm not sure if glasner can turn things around, but he needs to get some support from the top, stat! 
- those guys are his mates, he knows 'em personally, and now they're gone to bigger clubs. i hope he finds a way to motivate the team tho 
maybe there are some hidden gems in the squad waiting to be discovered? we just gotta keep an eye on them 
he's just trying to do his job but the board's being super unfair 
i mean what's expected of him, right? keep the team in check while they're losing key players left & right... meanwhile, palace fans r still holdin on 2 hope 
it's def a tough spot, but glasner can't just sit back & watch as his squad gets dismantled 
at some point u gotta speak up, even if it means takin the heat 
might be time 4 change in SE25 tho...
... I mean, a football team without its core players 
! When the foundation cracks, the entire structure starts to crumble. Crystal Palace's struggles are a great reminder that our personal and professional lives aren't just about individual successes, but also about the support system we have around us 
.
. It's not about finding new superstars overnight, but about cultivating a winning mindset that transcends individual talent 
.
... but at the end of the day, it's how we respond to adversity that truly matters 
.
I mean, one player leaves and the whole team falls apart? That's just not fair to the rest of the squad. And what's with the board being so clueless about it all? Glasner's right to speak up though - we need more transparency around player departures and how they're managed. It's like they're just pawns in a bigger game 
like what are they even doing there? not good enough for the big boys yet 
then you add Eze and Guehi gone and it's like a whole different team 
palace needs to sort their business ASAP or else Glasner's gonna lose his mind 
. Newsflash: it's not just about the players, it's about the whole team structure and squad depth. And what's with Glasner's comments, btw? "Abandoned" his players? That's a pretty strong accusation 
. I mean, have you seen their recent results? It's not just about individual player departures, it's about the bigger picture 
. Palace needs to regroup and find a new strategy, not just keep whining about the board 
.
glassner is right he needs to get outta there if the board dont care about the team's success
. I mean, I get it, players want new challenges and all that, but when the manager is frustrated to the point of speaking out, something's gotta give 
. I'm curious to see how Glasner handles this situation – will he fight for his team or just pack it in 
?
... eze leaving was a big blow for palace, but guehi too? it's like they're not even trying to keep their core players anymore 
... glasner's right to speak out tho, he's got a point 
... but can he really turn this team around with the talent they've got left? 
.
Palace fans need to come together and support their team, not just the players they want to see stay
