Glasner feels abandoned completely at Palace Media caption, Palace have been abandoned by board - Glasner By Gary Rose BBC Sport journalist Published 11 minutes ago Crystal Palace manager Oliver Glasner has dropped he feels his squad “are being abandoned completely” as he criticised the clubs transfer strategy. The Austrian, 51, locked in on Friday he will leave the Eagles when his contract expires at the end of the season. (we’re not making this up)
He insisted at the time that his decision had nothing to do with Palaces transfer dealings, after news captain Marc Guehi was set to sign for Manchester City broke on the same day.
The Details
But, after Saturdays 2-1 loss at Sunderland , Glasner criticised the decision to allow Guehi to leave, as well as expressing his frustration at the lack of backing he has received to replace departing players. “I feel we are being abandoned completely,” he told BBC Match of the Day.
“I cant play many players. They did everything they could and this has been going on for weeks and months now.
Why This Matters
“We have 12, 13 players from the squad available and we feel no support. “The worst thing is selling our captain one day before playing a Premier League game. “We are preparing, its the first [full] week we are training since September, and then we are selling our captain one day before a game.
This is the kind of move that can define a season.
Key Takeaways
- So I have no understanding of this.
- “I have always kept my mouth [shut], but I cant because I have to defend these players, because it was the 35th game today.
- “Yes we get under pressure here and we are unlucky.
- But again, you cant react, we cant help them, it makes it fr tough.
The Bottom Line
” What should I tell the players?
