Oliver Glasner calls Palace truce with Parish: We stick together, we work hard'

"Steve and I left our dinner, and really both with a big smile we said: Hey, we achieved so much all together here in the last 22 months. We don't want and we don't accept that this ends like the last three, four, five weeks have been. We don't accept it.' So we stick together, we work hard all together to get an ending this season that it deserves. And this was the commitment we had."

"No, I don't think so, but that's Oliver Glasner, he said. I want to be Oliver Glasner where I am. This is the most important thing. I want that I'm accepted how I am. If somebody says: I don't like this emotional guy,' then it's better not to sign because I think I can't change. I'm always working to develop, but I won't completely change."

"it must be remembered that things are never straightforward in this part of south London. As usual, Glasner was engaging company as he articulated the reasons behind his outburst in his previous press conference, when he accused Parish of abandoning him and the rest of the squad that won the FA Cup eight months ago by selling the captain Marc Guehi to Manchester City 24 hours before the game at the Stadium of Light."

Oliver Glasner and Crystal Palace chair Steve Parish dined and agreed to stick together and work hard to secure a deserved finish to the season after 22 productive months. Palace endured a ten-match winless run following defeat at Sunderland, and Glasner has confirmed he will leave when his contract expires at season's end. Glasner defended a public outburst that accused Parish of abandoning the FA Cup–winning squad by selling captain Marc Guehi to Manchester City 24 hours before the Sunderland game. Glasner expressed no regrets about the outburst and insisted he will not change his emotional style.
