He’s a manager not a magician!

Didn’t he get your lot from obscurity to top of the pile. He didn’t do that by eating 3 weetabix.

He spent close to 1bn & won 1 league title.

There is no doubt imo he would have Chelsea challenging for titles

A league title better than Chelsea unfortunately

All credit to Sunderland definitely deserved their point , I thought Donneruma was City’s best player . City had some great chances to win it though , unfortunately 2 of them fell to Savinho who is worst than Sterling in front of goal .

Leeds player makes no attempt to play the ball , still has his arms around him in the box

If the player goes down they give it

That’s a clear penalty imo

It was never a pen. For a start the Liverpool player fouled the Leeds player first. Just ran into him not even looking at the ball.
They were both then grappling, if anything was given it would have been outside the box anyway.

Liverpool were rubbish and blaming not beating Leeds on a non penalty shows as much. The players were constantly diving trying to cheat to win. The Scouse fans are delusional.

On the TV it sounded like Leeds were the home team.

Strasbourg manager also owned by Chelsea’s owner ship brand. Smacks of lack of ambition and shows they’re not the force they were.

Also ex Reading full back. Thought he did well for us but there was a falling out towards the end and he become a target for abuse after he left us which I never personally understood.

A clued up guy and probably OK for an interim role but screams lack of ambition or plan.

But what about when they sing their song before kick off?

When did anyone put the blame of the result on that decision

Can see Glasner being in charge at the end of the season.

I agree it was not a foul, one minor point re the bit in bold, holding is the only offence were if it starts outside the box and continues in to the box, it’s a penalty.

He was indeed one of ours and always performed well when I watched him play, speaks well and has done relatively decently as a manager at each club he’s been at. Nothing at yet suggests he is premier league quality as a manager though, but saying that the same could’ve been said for Brightons manager. But that’s a different level of ambition surely , if Chelsea do appoint him as a permanent replacement it would be very odd indeed.

Glasner looks the best candidate but Injust don’t see Chelsea as an attractive prospect for any manager at the moment.

I think you're right. Although it might happen sooner because he's refused a new deal and Palace aren't doing that well. Would make sense for it to be done now so they get a decent fee and you can start moving forwards.

With the way Chelsea treat their managers Glasner would be stupid to go near the club

He may have a good amount of offers on the table in the summer

He’s already unhappy with how Palace conduct their business. Can’t see Chelsea selling themselves to him.

That’s the bit that makes no sense to me. I cannot see him accepting the Chelsea model of buy and selling as he wants players that will fit his model not a load things being thrown in and hoping something sticks.

Yep - seems mad to go there

But guess the payoffs must be worth it

They might have had more managers in the last 20 years than some clubs have had in their history

What other jobs are available for Glasner?
Other than Chelsea.
Man Utd,Liverpool

Palace sell their best players though, Chelsea have a lot of very good players he would back himself to get a tune out of. Plus the money.

I think if Chelsea want him, he goes there.

Can’t go to Liverpool he doesn’t whine enough
