Oliver Glasner has are available for criticism for his outburst on the Crystal Palace hierarchy over the weekend, with Wayne Rooney also questioning the motives of the Eagles boss.
Palace have been on a extremely poor run of form, which continued on Saturday with a 2-1 defeat at Sunderland.
The loss leaves them thirteenth within the Premier League table, having also been dumped out of the FA Cup this month by Macclesfield, ending their reign as champions on the earliest possible stage.
Glasner’s beef with the board stems from selling outstanding players and, he feels, them not being replaced.
Eberechi Eze left for Arsenal in the summertime and Marc Guehi is about to affix Manchester City, which was confirmed on Friday.
After the loss to the Black Cats, Glasner said: ‘We feel like we’re being abandoned completely. Selling our captain in the future before a game – there isn’t any understanding for this.’
He added: ‘In case your heart gets ripped out twice a 12 months, with Eze in the future before a game in the summertime and your captain in the future before a game – I’ve just got no understanding.

‘I’ve been in football for 30 years and never experienced this, not once. Now it happens twice in six or seven months. That’s just where we are actually.’
These comments got here the day after Glasner confirmed he could be leaving the club at the tip of his contract in the summertime.
‘A call has already been taken, months ago. I had a gathering with Steve [Parish] in October, the international break,’ the Austrian said.
‘We had a really long talk, and I told him I won’t sign a brand new contract.’
After the fierce criticism of the Palace hierarchy, Rooney expects Glasner to depart his role before the tip of the campaign.
‘I don’t see how he continues,’ the previous England striker said on The Wayne Rooney Show. ‘For me, it’s a little bit of each really. I do feel for him because I used to be on the semi-final and the ultimate last season, and the atmosphere and the sensation around Crystal Palace was incredible.
‘Obviously, they lost Eze in the summertime. Marc Guehi stayed, but I feel everyone knew he was probably going to depart in January. But then Glasner got here out and said he’s agreed to depart in October…
‘So I’d wish to know: did Brennan Johnson get told he was leaving when he signed for Crystal Palace [from Tottenham this month]? Did his agent get told? Because possibly that changes things for that player. In order that’s one query.’
‘If he feels that bad, that allow down and that the club have abandoned him and his players, then walk.’
Rooney suggested that Glasner should resign quite than wait out the remaining of his contract or to be dismissed.
‘He also got here out and said he’d been abandoned and had to inform the players that the captain was leaving the day before a game, but he’ll do every part to support the players,’ continued Rooney.
‘Then he comes out and tells the players he’s leaving. It’s all strange and I feel he’s angling to attempt to get himself out of the club and check out to receives a commission up. If he feels that bad, that allow down and that the club have abandoned him and his players, then walk.’
Glasner was asked if he would remain in charge at Selhurst Park until the tip of the season, saying: ‘I don’t know. I at all times have an enormous appreciation for this group of players.
‘I completely trust them. Their character is outstanding and we’ll stick together and switch around. I won’t ever step back because these players deserve Oliver Glasner as their manager and leader and that is what I’ll do.
‘Sometimes it might help if we had just a little little bit of support.’
‘He needs to point out some respect’
Naming himself has riled up former Palace boss Alan Pardew, who accused Glasner of disrespect.
‘Once you start talking about yourself within the third person like Glasner…he needs to point out some respect to Crystal Palace,’ Pardew told talkSPORT.
‘With Glasner, I’m not into it whenever you’re talking to yourself within the third person. I made that mistake earlier in my profession, it sounds fallacious…you’re putting yourself ready like “You deserve me”…well yeah, okay.
‘But at the tip of the day, whenever you’re a football manager, you’re accountable for the tactics of the team and motivation of the team, but you don’t own it, it’s not your money that’s invested within the team.
‘So due to this fact, you’re an worker and to speak like that actually is asking for trouble.’
Oliver Glasner’s explosive rant
‘The players gave every part they may. We made no substitutions – have a look at the bench, there are only kids there.
‘We feel like we’re being abandoned completely. Selling our captain in the future before a game – there isn’t any understanding for this.
‘We’re preparing after which yesterday [Friday], I get told that our captain will likely be sold, but why not next week? No less than he can play this game after which next week, other players are coming back. It makes me really upset.
‘In case your heart gets ripped out twice a 12 months, with [Eberechi] Eze in the future before a game in the summertime and your captain in the future before a game – I’ve just got no understanding.
‘I’ve been in football for 30 years and never experienced this, not once. Now it happens twice in six or seven months. That’s just where we are actually.
‘We’re playing for weeks now with just 12 or 13 players in our squad. Some players have played their thirty fifth game now.
He added: ‘I heard yesterday at 10.30am for the primary time that we were selling Marc. I feel the negotiations were a number of days long so no one would have called at 10am and by 10.30am, every part was agreed.
‘Then we have now to take care of it. Sooner or later before a game, we have now to come back to Sunderland, after we know we’re not on the perfect run. We all know the circumstances with no players available and we’re selling our captain.
‘No team would do that. Other teams, the players play after which the subsequent day, they’re leaving and we’re selling the day before?’
Former Tottenham and Aston Villa boss Tim Sherwood was scathing of Glasner for his comments, saying he should know what to anticipate when taking on a club the dimensions of Crystal Palace.
‘He wants to depart that football club as quickly as possible.’
‘It’s self-preservation,’ Sherwood told Sky Sports. ‘I’ve been there. He’s attempting to take care of his fame. His fame was so high, the iron was very, highly regarded after they won the FA Cup and qualified for Europe.
‘Now they’re losing games. It’s caught up with them, they haven’t got a powerful squad, absolutely, but he knows when he takes the Palace job, he knows what he’s going into.
‘It’s Crystal Palace. You develop players and also you sell them on in the event that they outgrow the club. That’s exactly what’s happened.
‘[Andoni] Iraola at Bournemouth, look what’s happened to him, he lost all his back five last season, he’s lost [Antoine] Semenyo this 12 months. Have you ever heard a squeak out of him? Not once have you ever heard him mention that because he knows what the job is and he gets on with it.
‘I see it from each side. After all I’d be disenchanted if I used to be him, but I do know what I’m going into, so long as they don’t move the goalposts on you – and I don’t think they’ve done that. Everyone knows what Crystal Palace is.
‘All their fans would love to maintain Michael Olise, [Ebere] Eze, [Jean-Phillipe] Mateta, [Adam] Wharton, palm off Marc Guehi and say we don’t care when you bid £100m, we’re going to maintain him.
‘He has to grasp the economics of the football club. That could be a selling club. The fans won’t need to hear that but that’s reality. He knows what he went into. They gave him a platform within the Premier League, he’s done very, thoroughly, I’m not coming away from that but that’s pure self preservation.
‘You already know what he wants? He wants to depart that football club as quickly as possible.’
Glasner is one in all the front-runners to be the subsequent everlasting Manchester United manager, but his outburst against his bosses could have hurt his possibilities of taking the Old Trafford job.
