BREAKING; Palace have made a decision on manager Oliver Glasner following his shocking outburst in the aftermath of a 2-1 defeat to Sunderland at the Stadium of Light.

Crystal Palace have reached a verdict on Oliver Glasner’s future after the manager launched an extraordinary public rant following the club’s 2-1 loss to Sunderland at the Stadium of Light.

Sky Sports report that the Palace hierarchy intend to keep faith with Glasner until the end of the campaign, when his current contract expires, despite their dissatisfaction with the tone and timing of his remarks.

The Austrian was visibly distressed after yet another setback, capping off a turbulent week that has intensified unrest at Selhurst Park and significantly dented the club’s hopes of securing European qualification.

Palace had taken the lead midway through the first half thanks to Yeremy Pino, only for Sunderland to hit back three minutes later through Enzo Le Fée.

The match ultimately swung in the hosts’ favour late on, as Brian Brobbey struck the decisive goal to condemn the Eagles to a tenth winless outing in all competitions.

That defeat followed swiftly on the heels of an embarrassing FA Cup elimination, with Palace crashing out in the third round at the hands of non-League Macclesfield, further compounding the pressure on Glasner and his squad.

Speculation over the futures of several key Palace players has been rife since the January transfer window opened, but the impending departure of club captain Marc Guéhi to Manchester City proved to be the final straw for Glasner.

The transfer was finalised shortly before the Sunderland fixture, leaving the manager furious.

In his post-match comments, Glasner accused the club of abandoning both him and the players, taking particular issue with the decision to sanction Guéhi’s sale on the eve of a match.

“We feel completely abandoned,” Glasner said. “Selling our captain one day before a game – there’s no understanding of that at all.

“We’re preparing for a match and then on Friday I’m told our captain is being sold. Why not next week? At least he could have played this game, and then next week other players would be back.

“It really upsets me. I’ve been in football for 30 years and I’ve never experienced this, not once. Now it’s happened twice in six or seven months. That’s just where we are.”

Those remarks reportedly left chairman Steve Parish both angered and perplexed, although the club’s leadership recognises the broader circumstances surrounding the manager’s frustration.

Glasner has already confirmed that he will depart Crystal Palace at the end of the season when his deal expires, a decision he first relayed to the board in October.

Ideally, the club would like that separation to unfold in an orderly and respectful manner, rather than bringing matters to a head prematurely amid heightened tensions.

Nevertheless, Palace may yet be left with little choice but to consider a change before the season concludes if results fail to improve and Glasner is unable to steady the ship in the weeks ahead.
