"We all know Palace want to keep Glasner. The way the chairman phrased it our positions have to be aligned' I read into it that the manager is demanding things the club haven't necessarily been doing. He wants to keep his best players and wants the board to supplement that by adding more depth and more quality in the transfer market."
"It's testing the Palace hierarchy, weighing up their ambitions and seeing whether they're prepared to give him what he needs to continue on this ride. Quite often, in my experience, owners and chairmen can be too focused on wanting to make a profit and prioritising finances over the ambitions of the club. If that's the case here, then it's unlikely the manager is going to want to stay, because they won't be able to keep up with the ambitions and progress he wants to make."
Ruben Amorim faces pressure at Manchester United and could be sacked if results do not improve in the coming weeks. That uncertainty has generated interest in other managers, including Oliver Glasner. Glasner is currently Crystal Palace manager but is reportedly unhappy despite talks over a new contract. He is demanding the club retain key players and provide greater squad depth and quality in the transfer market. Palace leadership appears to be testing their ambitions against financial constraints. Owners and chairmen sometimes prioritise profit over sporting ambition, which could widen the gap between manager expectations and club policy. The coming weeks will determine whether Palace backs Glasner's plans or he pursues opportunities at clubs that can match his aspirations.
