Crystal Palace may consider parting ways with Oliver Glasner if the team’s form doesn’t improve, as the club’s leadership is already exploring possible replacements. Palace has only secured three points from eight Premier League matches, leaving them in 18th place and facing the threat of relegation.
While sources close to the club emphasize that they won’t rush into a decision regarding Glasner, they are assessing potential managerial candidates in case the team’s performance doesn’t turn around. Glasner initially had a strong start with the club, but the departure of key players like Michael Olise over the summer has been a challenge for him. Despite this, the team’s struggles this season have put Palace at risk of a relegation battle, which is far from their goal of securing a stable Premier League position and aiming for a top-half finish.
TEAMtalk reports that former England manager Gareth Southgate and Graham Potter are among the names being considered by Palace’s board, both of whom have also been linked with the Manchester United job. Southgate, who spent seven years as a player at Selhurst Park, has reportedly ruled himself out of contention for the Manchester United role but is a top candidate for Palace. Meanwhile, Potter, known for his success with Brighton, is interested in a return to management but is keeping an eye on the situation at Manchester United, making a quick move necessary for Palace if they want to secure him before he possibly replaces Erik ten Hag.
The upcoming matches will be crucial in determining Glasner’s future with the club, including a fixture against Tottenham, a League Cup tie with Aston Villa, and games against relegation rivals Wolves and Fulham.
On the transfer front, Palace lost Michael Olise and Joachim Andersen over the summer, and other key players are attracting interest ahead of the January window. Midfielder Adam Wharton, who joined from Blackburn Rovers in January, is being closely watched by Manchester City, Manchester United, and Liverpool, though Palace is determined to keep him through the January window, even if they may struggle to retain him long-term.
Additionally, Eberechi Eze is attracting interest from top Premier League clubs, with Tottenham and Manchester United both reportedly considering a move for him, especially as United looks to find a replacement for Antony. Marc Guehi is also a potential target for Newcastle and Liverpool, with both clubs contemplating significant offers for the defender next year.
