After losing the first three games of the 2024–25 Premier League season, Oliver Glasner at Crystal Palace went from being a hero to a zero.
A stretch of six Premier League games without a win so far this season stands in stark contrast to a run of six victories and a draw from the final seven games of the previous campaign.
Oliver Glasner, who lost two important players in Michael Olise and Joachim Andersen over the summer, is not solely to blame for this, of course, but there are concerns about the Austrian manager who hasn’t yet found his best starting lineup after a period of considerable volatility.
We Are Palace has received information from sources on the possibility of Steve Parish firing the 50-year-old as Crystal Palace waits for their first victory of the 2024–2025 Premier League season.
We Are Palace is aware of the astonishment, dissatisfaction, and rage felt by those gathered in the Selhurst Park boardroom over the way the 2024–25 campaign has started.
Although the Crystal Palace leadership acknowledges some responsibility for the season’s rocky start—having approved the sales of Andersen and Olise—it is thought that they did not anticipate such a messy start.
Despite this unhappiness, sources tell We Are Palace that Crystal Palace is pleased with the deals Dougie Freedman successfully secured and anticipates better outcomes shortly.
Because the hierarchy admires Glasner, Parish, Josh Harris, and David Blitzer believe these enhanced outcomes will come without requiring a change in the dugout.
John Textor, who was unable to purchase Everton, is still seeking to sell his 45% ownership in Crystal Palace; it is unclear what he believes of the current state of affairs.
The guy from Scharding’s choice to turn down Bayern Munich earlier in 2024 has not been forgotten, and We Are Palace has been informed that the respect shown to Crystal Palace at that time will be returned during this trying time.
Parish is correct to be patient and have faith in the Austrian; it would be insane to fire Glasner following the first setback of his tenure at Crystal Palace.
As previously mentioned, Bayern Munich only made an attempt to sign Glasner as a replacement for Thomas Tuchel in May, which speaks highly of the caliber of coach Crystal Palace now employs in SE25.
Fans and non-fans alike naturally anticipated a stronger start to the 2024–25 season, but considering the significant roster changes made over the summer, everyone must exercise patience.
