Glasner would be a pretty steady pair of hands IMO, left Frankfurt much stronger than when he arrived, will do the same with Palace when he eventually leaves who were in real danger when Woy was still in charge, if we are looking at a guy to come in and right the ship and get us competitive again we could certainly do a lot worse. He clearly thrives in cups as well, been to the German cup final and has a Europa League win to his name, also has Palace in the semis of the FA cup and it's not hugely unrealistic to think they could win it with who's left in, City the biggest name but have been turned over by worse sides multiple times this season. Getting Spurs back into top 4 contention and getting to a final or winning a cup would make him an unequivocal success off the back of this season and you'd say he probably has better than 50% odds of achieving that, so I wouldn't be pissed off at it at all.
I'll say as well I thought Palace were knackered this season with Olise off to Bayern, thought he really carried them offensively last term and they were gonna languish without those goal contributions but the way they've reinvested and come back stronger from him leaving is very impressive tbh. He has exhibited the kind of turnaround after a very poor start to this season at Palace that exhibits the mental fortitude to grin and bear it through poor performances in search of a workable system, which will surely be important for us in the near term. Unlike Ange however Glasner has proven Palace right for the display of loyalty, their form has only got better and better over the season which is the kind of promising improvement you expect to see from a manager who is quantifiably improving their team.

So back to the low block and counter manager then, great

People don't really want Glasner, it's just typical flavour of the month...manager has his team on form so let's go for him...you've all gone quiet on Iraola because he's on a losing streak...I wonder who the fanbase will turn to next, guess Marco Silva's time is coming soon.

Is he really low block and counter?

I’m not sure that’s what I’ve seen when I watched Palace

My question with Glasner is formational. Going back to 3 CBs may require significant investment in that position again.

If we keep Romero, we currently have 4. Bring Ashley Phillips back next season and that would be 5. Is that really enough? Is Danso good enough as the primary backup? Is Dragusin-Romero-VDV good enough as a starting trio?

Formations and tactics are why Iraola is still my preference. The AVB->Pochettino symmetry, bringing in someone who does things similar to what we do now, but better and more competently.

He's not really TBF, his team do press high up the pitch, I wouldn't say he's an attacking coach but he does have a system that works with the right profiles.

As ever though with this club would we buy the right profiles for him ? We've been playing with a back 4 high press for the last 2 years so I would have thought the transition to another manager who played similar to Ange would be easier.

At this point, style doesn't matter anymore. We need someone competent that can keep us up in top 4-5. Not a big fan of Glasner but he can do better than Ange. Now, would I sign him? no... but he wont sink the ship which is what Levy likes.

Vuskovic in the mix as well but we’d need another left footer imo
 
We need a balanced Manager. Not one of scale to another. Conte, nuno and jose way too defensive and tbh i hated us defend for our lives from start. All speculation glasner but it is various sources. Tbh glasner probably used palace as a stepping stone. To be frank he probably dont understand why they call themselves palace. That stadium is far from a palace. Shitpit.

Yeah absolutely. I want a coach. A guy that plays to the basics and fundamentals of football. Not some naive attacking guy or some defensive counter attack manager. Glasner and Iraola fit that profile.

I’m sick of “philosophy” managers. Look at Amorim at united or the stupid cunt in charge here. It’s such pretentious bullshit a manager going “this is my style. Doesn’t matter the results. Players have to adapt” blah blah. Football is about good results.

Unless you have unlimited funds like pep at city. Look how good slot, arteta and Howe are doing at the moment. And they play simple basic fundamental football.

Agreed. End of day Levy fucked up sacking poch. Even in amazon doc he said time will tell if it's right call sacking poch. It's been a disastrous call by Levy. Preference is iraola next season but if its glasner hes won a title in europe and if hes shit we must get poch back next year. Board need to swallow pride.

Nah I want Iraola.

Look through their team 90%of it is bought from the championship they have no right to be where they are, above Glasners Palace, Postecoglou's Spurs, Man UTD, Moyes Everton and many more.
