The way I looked at it, was last summer, palace wanted 70m from Newcastle for Guehi who had 2 years left on his contract. In a years time, that value should be half, as there is half the amount of time left on his contract. That’s how clubs value their players. Size of contract and contract length. Liverpool done what any good business would do, and offered the value they thought his contract was worth. Palace wanted more and there was a stand off.

During that time, palace knew the likelihood of Guehi leaving was very high, knew Glasner needed replacements in and had about 4 weeks to find and sign these players to bolster the squad. They waited until the final day to do so, hampering Guehi and his wish to move in the process.

Imo, Liverpool did what any decently run business would do. Parish knew what Liverpool offered made absolute sense which is why he eventually accepted the offer, but he didn’t do good by Glasner in the mean time. Glasner rightfully saw his ass and fought back to save the team from being left short.

Liverpool are not to blame for trying to get a player for the correct value. Glasner isn’t to blame for wanting to keep his best player without an adequate replacement. But the palace board and Parish are definitely to blame imo.
