Crystal Palace fans turn on Oliver Glasner with banner during Wolves win

Crystal Palace supporters made their discontent with Oliver Glasner clear by unveiling a banner declaring the manager “finished” during Sunday’s Premier League victory over Wolves.

Despite a stoppage-time winner from Evann Guessand securing three vital points, the atmosphere at Selhurst Park remained toxic.

A section of the home support displayed a banner reading “Fans disrespected, Glasner finished”, highlighting the fractured relationship between the dugout and the stands.

Summer exit already confirmed

The Austrian has already announced he will depart the club when his contract expires this summer.

However, doubt persists over whether he will see out the remainder of the campaign following a severe dip in form.

The Eagles have tumbled down the table and recently suffered an FA Cup elimination at the hands of non-league Macclesfield.

Frustration mounted further on Thursday following a 1-1 draw with Bosnian side Zrinjski Mostar, where away fans called for the manager to be sacked.

Glasner calls for humility

The hostility follows controversial comments made by the former Eintracht Frankfurt boss regarding the club’s stature.

Responding to criticism earlier in the week, the 50-year-old suggested supporters should “never forget where they came from”.

“They can say and sing whatever they want. I know what I am doing. I would say the most important thing is stay humble. I think it’s the same for the fans.”

“Stay humble. Never forget where you’re coming from. I think a few who are so critical in this situation are not humble any more. Forget where you are coming from and usually in life you are punished for this.”

Transfer market frustrations

Tensions initially began in the summer after the South London club sold key playmaker Eberechi Eze.

The hierarchy subsequently sanctioned the departure of captain Marc Guehi in January, a move the manager had strongly opposed.

Glasner admitted that the squad has struggled to cope with the schedule following these high-profile exits.

“I’m always realistic, and we’re not in the best moment right now. I understand and I take responsibility for everything because I’m responsible for the whole team.”

“Right now, I’m just not good enough to replace the players we sold. I’m just not good enough to integrate the new players in a way to play the same way like we did.”

Despite the off-field turmoil, the win over Wolves has created some breathing room between Palace and the bottom three.
