With Guehi and Olise leaving this summer, the recruitment needs to be on the money in order for Glasner to succeed. Hopefully, him and Dougie have aligned views on the type of players we need to fulfil the type of play Glasner wants. If, the replacements hit the ground running, with Wharton in the middle and Eze in front. I predict a successful season, a mid table finish and a cup run would be nice. However, the 'if' is huge as we are losing two of our most influential players.

Austrian troops happily fought beside the Wehrmacht and they were effectively interchangeable in terms of beliefs and objectives. PS Glasner is not a NAZI

I think first he will keep us up. But I think the real reason we went for him was to build next season when olise eze and geuhi go in the summer. I don’t want them to go but we could get good money for them and then build with the likes of Franca Wharton ahameda and ozoh. And the money we get from selling are best players we buy a striker. Potentially he sounds like a manager that could build a team and it would be great business for the club picking up big profit for olise eze and geuhi

I'd be very happy to stay up for now. Next season, getting the squad to play to its full potential. Our stars need to be retained, unless they are hell bent on playing for another team. This will be more likely if we are heading up the table. How high we can go will depend on what we spend in the summer.

I am hoping he does both: keep us up and in fantasy land builds a team that can 'push' as opposed to merely exist. On a separate note, with nothing more than a feeling from myself, I don't think Eze will go and is somewhat destined to follow a Wilf route. Great, great player but a bigger fish in a smaller pond. Too individualistic and perhaps not enough so to attract a 'bigger' home. Palace will accommodate him and build around him, I don't think any heavyweights would. Just my thoughts though.
Now Zaha's got a bit of green grass ahead of him here... and finds Ambrose... not a bad effort!!!! |

IMO the late goals aren't due to lack of fitness. Its mentality. The players are broken mentally, and are so desperate not to lose, that they forget what makes them a good team. Against Everton we sat deep immediately after the goal, that's not tiredness. If we sit and defend for the last 20 mins of every game we are likely to concede Although you make a good point and is probably part of it, you can visibly see us struggling late in games, basically we look knackered, and when you’re struggling physically, you lose that sharpness of mind and your concentration goes

Stay up whatever it takes, sell Olise and one of the CDs in the summer, 100m, keep the other CD, Doucoure and Eze, and buy 4/5 players that suite his style, get rid of Schlupp, Hughes, Jairo, Clyne and Tomkins, contracts up, give Ward one year extension. Keep Johnstone, and loan out Hendersen for a year to improve, get some Austrian keeper as second keeper

Basics: This is schoolboy stuff. More technical: investigate reasons for so many hamstrings going. Can the training be adjusted to improve it. If OG could do the above and add his own magic, Euros here we come. If it’s schoolboy stuff, why do clubs spend millions on managers and coaches, when they could have just go down to the local school to recruit. There is a little bit more to being a manager, than you think.

But thanks for screening OGs political background and your final verdict in your last sentence marked yellow which made me reliefed.

Realistically, he will keep us up this season. Rinse and repeat.

Spooky or what...has anyone else noticed that OG’s previous role with F’furt are also The Eagles. Did it influence his or SP’s decision, I wonder? SP: “I see from your CV Ollie, you’ve managed Eagles before. The job is yours! “ So we can expect him to be loyal to the shirt....one hopes!
