Crystal Palace are considering sacking manager Oliver Glasner.
Sky Sports News It is understood Palace chairman Steve Parish was left bewildered and angered by the Austrian’s comments following Saturday’s 2-1 defeat to Sunderland. Glasner directly criticized the club’s board, saying “I feel like we have been completely abandoned.”
Glasner revealed on Friday that he will leave Selhurst Park when his contract expires in the summer, but Parrish will make a decision on whether to sit out his final four months or sack him now.

Crystal Palace lost to Sunderland on Saturday.
Marc Guehi sale imminent For Manchester City, it looks like this could be the final straw in the ever-deteriorating relationship between manager and chairman.
“I sold the captaincy a day before the game. I don’t understand it,” Glasner said on Saturday.
But Palace believe they have no choice but to sell Guehi rather than risk losing £20m if the defender leaves as a free agent at the end of the season. And the club were adamant that they had complied with Glasner’s wishes in the final transfer window. A deal to sell Glasner to Liverpool was withdrawn on deadline day.
From Parish’s perspective, every decision he makes is one he believes is the right one for the long-term stability and future of Crystal Palace. Whether Glasner remains part of those plans will likely be decided quickly.
