Crystal Palace manager Oliver Glasner has cast doubt over his immediate future after the club’s fans turned on him amid a dismal run of form.<\/p>\n

Glasner is leaving Palace at the end of the season when his contract expires – but it is unclear if he will see out the job following his latest comments.<\/p>\n

Palace supporters called for Glasner’s sacking during Thursday night’s 1-1 draw at Zrinjski Mostar in the first leg of their Conference League knockout play-off. They have seen their side win once in the last 15 games.<\/p>\n

Asked if he wants to stay until the season ends, Glasner said on Friday: “Let’s see. What the future brings, we never know.”<\/p>\n

Pressed on if he has the drive to see out his contract, Glasner added: “Yes. I feel so.”<\/p>\n

Palace had never won a major trophy until Glasner led them to FA Cup glory last season and his team subsequently won the Community Shield.<\/p>\n

But right now, the Austrian does not feel like he is up to the job after Palace sold captain Marc Guehi in January and star player Eberechi Eze last summer.<\/p>\n

“We are not in the best moment right now. I understand and take responsibility for everything because I am responsible for the whole team,” Glasner said.<\/p>\n

“I am just not good enough to replace the players we sold. I am just not good enough to integrate the new players in a way that we can play the same way like we did. I am not good enough that we can cope with the schedule.<\/p>\n

“On the other side, I think I was good enough to play the best season ever, to win two trophies.<\/p>\n

“It looks like we are – even now, where everybody is completely angry, disappointed, frustrated – playing a better Premier League season than eight of the last 10 seasons Crystal Palace has played.<\/p>\n

“We are playing European football and that is also a reality.”<\/p>\n

Palace face Wolverhampton Wanderers in their next fixture, live on Super Sunday, as Glasner looks to rally his side in a bid to snap their poor run of form.<\/p>\n

Glasner added: “It’s my responsibility to get the turnaround. I can’t expect [positivity] from the players if I’m not that way. But right now I just can’t do it because it’s how I feel.<\/p>\n

“It just shows that the expectations are completely different. So I think with 32 points after 26 rounds, the fans would have celebrated in the last nine seasons. This year, they are disappointed.<\/p>\n

“If I become a funny guy now, I think you would feel that it’s not true. That’s why I am how I am. And this is how I am feeling right now. It is a very challenging situation for all of us.<\/p>\n

“But on the other side, again, this is one of the best Premier League seasons within the last 10 years. It just shows that the expectations are completely different.<\/p>\n

“Thirty-two points after 26 rounds, the fans would have celebrated in the last nine seasons. This year they are disappointed.”<\/p>\n

Palace’s season spiralling as Glasner limps to the end of his tenure<\/p>\n

Sky Sports News’ James Savundra: <\/p>\n

There’s a sadness in how it’s all unravelled so quickly. Glorious days at Wembley seem a distant memory.<\/p>\n

There were tired bodies and minds at the Crystal Palace training base on Friday morning. A late return from Bosnia and Herzegovina and a quick turnaround for a home match against Wolves.<\/p>\n

A first knockout tie in a European competition proper would have prompted celebration in normal times. But the mood has darkened among the supporter base.<\/p>\n

A mood reflected by their head coach at his press conference on Friday morning. Aside from the recent victory over rivals Brighton – their only win in their last 15 matches – it’s been a wretched few months.<\/p>\n

Glasner looked lifeless, doing little to quash any doubts that he’d actually see out the season.<\/p>\n

He seemed resigned as he admitted he has not been good enough to cope with player departures, integrating signings and managing the squad through a demanding schedule.<\/p>\n

Yet he was still keen to remind us of his successes in south London. He’s been good enough to lift two trophies. A tally of 32 points at this stage of a Premier League season is a better return than Palace have been accustomed to, he remarked.<\/p>\n

He’s right. Glasner will rightly go down as arguably the greatest manager in the club’s history. However, his legacy is being damaged week by week due to performances on the pitch and comments off it.<\/p>\n

A season which presented an opportunity to build on historic scenes at the Wembley Stadium last summer is spiralling out of control. It feels like we’re reaching the end.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Crystal Palace manager Oliver Glasner has cast doubt over his immediate future after the club’s fans turned on…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":437630,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[33],"tags":[218,101,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-437629","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-football","tag-football","tag-sports","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/437629","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=437629"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/437629\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/437630"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=437629"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=437629"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=437629"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
