"After a humiliating FA Cup defeat by non-league Macclesfield last weekend, Crystal Palace fans would have been forgiven for thinking their season couldn't get much worse. But Friday's news that captain Marc Guehi would be joining Manchester City for 20m and manager Oliver Glasner confirming he would be leaving the club at the end of the season provided proof that it could."
""I feel we are being abandoned completely," he told BBC Match of the Day. "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." Glasner compared the situation to when Palace sold talisman Eberechi Eze to Arsenal at the start of Premier League season, admitting that both situations have left him feeling like the club's heart had been "torn out'"."
Crystal Palace suffered a humiliating FA Cup defeat to non-league Macclesfield, compounding fan frustration. The club agreed a 20m transfer of Marc Guehi to Manchester City the day before a Premier League trip to Sunderland. Oliver Glasner said he had prepared for the match with Guehi in his plans and that learning of the sale the morning before the game left him feeling the squad was being abandoned with only 12–13 players available. Glasner compared the move to the earlier sale of Eberechi Eze, saying both departures left the club's heart torn out. There are no immediate plans to sack Glasner, though pundits doubt his ability to continue.
