Crystal Palace fans penned into an unacceptable, 80s-looking section of Zrinjski Mostar’s ground made their views very clear about Oliver Glasner. Like a sad, self-inflicted scoreline, Palace’s season will have OG against it. Many of the mutineers over in Mostar want Glasner gone now. The coach-club relationship resembles a divorce delayed only by staying together for the chance of Conference League glory in Leipzig on May 27. What a mess: one win in 15, Glasner criticising and soon leaving, FA Cup defence lasting one game, captain Marc Guehi sold, speculation around future of other talents like Adam Wharton, and players underperforming as if distracted by the manager’s mood and pending exit. Glasner’s frustration over sales (Guehi and Eberechi Eze) is understandable but he still has some very good players, amongst others Henderson, Munoz, Lacroix, Wharton, Sarr, Mateta, £35m Johnson and £48m Strand Larsen etc. Did chairman and co-owner Steve Parish make the right decision in not turfing Glasner out when he spoke out? Parish, a lifelong fan, played the peace-maker. It can’t have been about unwillingness to pay compensation; there's only a few months left on Glasner's contract and club could point to his damaging comments when making any settlement. Parish is a pragmatist. He knows he has an exceptional manager in Glasner (42 wins, 31 draws, 28 losses in 101 games), that the storm could blow over and hope that the Austrian would be professional and drive Palace to the finishing line in Europe and safety in the Premier League (currently 13th, 32 points, 12 games left). Parish’s stance is understandable. But judging by results and fans’ reactions, how long can Palace let this toxicity fester? They cannot let the season drift further. Glasner has to raise his game and try and motivate the players to get winning again. An ambitious manager, and footballing obsessive, risks his own stock continuing to fall going into a summer when he hopes for employment at a Champions League club. Palace have to beat Wolves at home on Sunday. The team have to show some fight. Glasner has to show he can still inspire and lead the players. Otherwise the chants will be heard again, the mood will darken further and separation may become inevitable. The obvious option is Thomas Frank, if available depending on his Spurs termination agreement. Whenever Glasner leaves, shortly or this summer, and the anger ebbs, let’s hope he’s also remembered for the glory days at Wembley when Palace fans were singing his praises. #CPFC 🦅

If #ENG can't be inspired by this phenomenal support, there's something seriously wrong with them. Deafening noise. #ENG #SLOENG
