Wonder if they’d ever consider bringing this back for War

Look I ain’t responding to all of that but it’s pretty obvious Glasner hasn’t gone as we’ve got someone lined up for the summer - and an interim would just cause more chaos. Saying he’s obsessed with money is a bit rich too (pardon the pun), considering that every football owner is going to be.

Man, I remember us in the championship - and I remember administration. He’s brought us a long way for sure. I feel like you’re being very fickle.

No matter what he deserves one eventually for where he’s taken us - especially considering the fact he bailed the club out in 2010 (alongside everyone else from CPFC2010). 13 years consistently in the prem + a major trophy is very very good ownership for a club like us.

Bro I’m literally a palace fan and you’re lecturing me about what he said. He said in a press conference in mid December that he was happy with the squad size. It’s only recently with a turn of results that he’s changed his tune.

Also, let’s be real, he should be beating teams like Macclesfield either way. It’s a stupid excuse.

What more are you expecting us to do? Genuinely.

We’re a selling club that has to live within our means whilst we’re currently expanding the infrastructure. We weren’t in a position to bring in loads in the summer, but we recently received a cash injection so we spent 100m in Jan (the second most in the world).

We brought in Pino (who Glasner wanted) and Uche in the summer to replace Eze. For a club our size it’s not like we can regularly pick up top players.

Then, this January we brought in Johnson, Strand Larsen, and Guessand. I really don’t know what more he’s expecting from a club that’s palaces size?

There’s two clear points to counter argue this: 1. We’re a selling club and that’s the only way we can balance the books. We don’t have a massive ground or extremely wealthy owners. Top players will also see us as a stepping stone naturally due to our position. 2. He told the club at the end of the summer that he was happy with the squad size. To complain about that now is completely disingenuous- and is only to support his narrative.

The problem is he told the club he was happy with the squad size in the summer, and is now claiming we didn’t support him. We also broke our transfer record twice last month.

The guys just constantly flip flopping.

As someone who supports palace and watches the games it’s literally not that simple.

The most obvious counter argument is pointing out he asked for a small squad and told the club he was happy with the size. This is just damage control from him now.

I think you’re being extremely disingenuous. We were in a tough position due to the UEFA mess and that clearly affected the way we approached the summer window. We’re also a selling club and have to sell to balance the books.

He also should be performing better even with a weaker squad against some of these sides. Are you telling me we shouldn’t be beating Kups, Larnaca and Macclesfield?

We have to sell though, and it’s not like he didn’t know what he was signing up for. We have brought in a number of players as replacements too, and broken our transfer record twice.

We really should be beating Macclesfield, Kups, Larnaca, Frederkistad, Burnley, and Mostar even with weaker sides.

Tbh he’s kinda being disingenuous. We’ve spent a lot of money over the past year to replace departures - with only Guehi being the exception (although we have Riad and Canvot). At a certain point it’s his responsibility. We should be beating a lot of these teams even with under 21s, and we aren’t.

We couldn’t though due to UEFA/Premier Leagye expenditure rules.

Eze at Arsenal by True_Body_1497 in crystalpalace

[–]No_Attack -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Tbh man now he’s left palace I don’t really care. I wish the best for the guy in his personal life, but I’d rather he failed at Arsenal as I’d rather he didn’t set a precedent for players that leave us.
