Crystal Palace Chairman Steve Parish has decided not to sack manager Oliver Glasner despite a tumultuous meeting, where Glasner openly criticized the board for abandoning him and his team by offloading star captain Marc Guéhi to Manchester City just hours before their crucial match against Sunderland.
Glasner had an extraordinary outburst in two press conferences last week, expressing his dismay and feeling of being abandoned by Palace's board. The Austrian's comments were particularly biting when he mentioned the sale of Eberechi Eze to Arsenal last August as another example of the club's lack of support. His claim that "we feel we're being abandoned" resonated with Palace chair Parish, who is now said to want Glasner to see out his contract until the end of the season.
Palace have accepted the offer for Guéhi, reportedly because he was out of contract in the summer and could have left for free. The decision has been made in the club's best interest, given that Palace will be able to continue with their current squad dynamics without major disruption. However, Glasner remains unconvinced about the board's commitment, stating that "I don't need any support" and instead believes that Palace are capable of turning things around on their own.
On a separate note, Palace are still in talks over a potential move for 19-year-old forward Sidiki Cherif from Angers. The club had floated an idea including Jonathan David in the deal but Juventus want to keep the Canada striker, who has no interest in moving to south London after joining Serie A from Lille last summer.
As for Glasner's future at Palace, it seems uncertain whether he will be able to salvage his tenure as manager or if Parish and the board have decided that enough is enough. Despite the criticism of the board, Glasner remains committed to seeing out his contract until the end of the season, which may prove to be a challenge for Palace given their current form slump.

. I mean, the dude had some valid points about being abandoned by the board, especially with Guéhi getting sold just hours before their big match against Sunderland. But at the same time, I can see why they'd want to keep Glasner on - he's got experience and all that jazz 
.
. And honestly, with Palace being in a slump right now, they could really use some fresh ideas (or at least someone who's not totally checked out on the team). Fingers crossed Glasner can turn things around and show the board he's worth sticking around for 
️.
. If he does turn it around, I could see the board being more willing to give him another chance to prove himself 
. On the other hand, if they keep losing, I can totally see Parsish making a move to bring in fresh blood 
.
. I've heard he's got some serious skills, but it'll be sick if Palace can land him and actually make him shine 
️!
. The board made tough decisions, especially about Guéhi & Eze sellings. If they wanted him out, they should've said so sooner. Now, it's about trust. Can Palace stick to the plan or will Glasner keep stirring the pot? 
! But seriously, Steve Parish's decision not to sack Oliver Glasner is def a bold move. The guy's got spunk and isn't afraid to speak his mind, even if it means going up against the board 
. It's like he's saying, "I may not agree with you guys, but I'm still gonna see this thing through." I'm curious to see how things play out - will Palace turn their season around or is Glasner's time running out 
? One thing's for sure, it's been entertaining to watch 
.
? Glasner wants to prove that he can turn things around, but if Palace are struggling now, how much time will it take for him to make a difference 
palace's squad dynamics are already disrupted, what else needs to happen before Glasner gets the boot? 
. Either way, Cherif's the one we should be watching out for... or not, depending on how well Palace do in the transfer market
