BBC: Glasner refuses to renew his contract with Crystal Palace, Manchester United keeps watching his situation

Hupu October 2nd News Sami Mokble, a famous British media reporter, wrote a column and talked about the situation in the Crystal Palace.

The following is the content of the BBC article

Crystal Palace is ushering in the most glorious moment in the club's history.

The fans of Crystal Palace can be seen everywhere on social media excitedly talking about the first European tournament in team history - the European Union match against Dynamo Kiev in Poland on Thursday night will kick off their new European tournament chapter. After winning the FA Cup last season and winning the community shield at Wembley in August, the team remained unbeaten in the Premier League in the new season, ranking third in the limelight.

However, under the grand occasion, the crisis has quietly emerged.

captain Gee has nine months left on his contract, and if nothing unexpected happens, the English central defender will leave Selhurst Park at the end of the season. Walton, the club's English genius organization core, is being pursued by European powers. What worries fans even more is that the meritorious coach Glasner, who led the team to complete the transformation, also expires next summer and will leave his post according to the current situation.

The 51-year-old Austrian coach has a legendary experience: he was on the verge of death due to a cerebral hemorrhage when he was a player, and emergency surgery saved his life but ended his career. After becoming a coach, he transformed Crystal Palace, who was content to relegation, into a champion. It is precisely because of this that his stay and departure are so touching.

BBC Sports learned that the club has provided a new contract this summer, but Glasner has not signed it yet. People familiar with the matter said he hopes to evaluate the club's ambitions through the summer window operation. In this transfer window that earned £16.3 million in profits for the club, Glasner publicly questioned his operating strategy many times - only Pino has started in the Premier League among the five new players, and his UEFA Cup qualification was denied for violating the ownership rules of multiple clubs, which made him reserved for renewal.

Although the club has not given up on retaining, sources close to the team have admitted that hope is slim: "The stagnation of summer transfers has exposed the differences in concepts between the two sides. " If Glasner wants to persuade him to stay, the club may need to give absolute dominance in the transfer operation - in fact, this summer's transfer deadline was exactly what he rejected Guy's transfer to Liverpool, although the two clubs have reached a fee agreement.

It is worth mentioning that former Wolves sports director Matt Hobbs has quietly taken over as the sports director of Crystal Palace, and it is still unknown whether his team building philosophy can fit with Glasner. At the same time, the team also faces a double test: the 25-year-old Gee is likely to leave the team freely, which means he needs to strengthen the central defender without transfer fees; and when the contract is renewed by Walton in 2029, if the termination clause of more than 75 million pounds can be set in the new contract, it may become a win-win plan.

After Olisse and Eze leave the team one after another, will Glasner be willing to continue coaching if he loses Guy and Walton again? His reputation is at its peak: Manchester United sees it as a candidate to replace Amorin, and Bayern is also paying attention - although both clubs openly support the current manager.

Glasner himself responded to rumors about his departure. He said: "All these rumors are just rumors. I look at these rumors with a neutral and completely relaxed attitude. I focus on daily training with Crystal Palace players and coaching staff, and enjoy the moment as much as possible."

It should be pointed out that although Glasner is regarded as the top European off-ball tactics master, his coaching ability in a ball-controlled team is still to be verified. Selhurst Park’s unique system, deep bonds with players, and fanatical love among fans are difficult to replicate. If there is the blessing of miraculously entering the Champions League, will it become the key weight to retain him?

The management of Crystal Palace knows well that this dream builder will eventually go to a bigger stage. Their only hope at this moment is to make the farewell come later.
