Crystal Palace want Oliver Glasner to see out his contract until the end of the season despite his outburst on Saturday.
After the loss at Sunderland, Glasner felt his players were being “abandoned” with “no support”, following the decision to sell Marc Guehi to Manchester City so close to the match.
“Selling our captain one day before a game – there is no understanding for this,” he added.
However, Glasner knows it is virtually impossible for a club the size of Palace to hold on to international players when big clubs offer massive contracts.
The Austrian was understandably emotional after his side’s dreadful run continued at the Stadium of Light, but it is his job to turn the situation around.
On Friday, Glasner revealed he will be leaving the club at the end of the season upon the expiry of his contract.
Glasner informed Palace in October of his intention to leave in the summer and the club would prefer him to leave in a dignified way at the end of the season.
He has been involved in the signings Palace have made this month, and knows the situation. Palace have signed Brennan Johnson for a record fee and they have to comply with strict spending rules when buy and selling players.
Earlier on Sunday morning, Sky Sports News reported that Palace chairman Steve Parish was bemused and angered by his manager’s comments following the loss at Sunderland where Glasner directly criticised the club’s board, saying “we feel like we’re being abandoned completely”.
