I suppose this means we can look forward to a campaign in Europe.

you forgot to mention the Eagles. Past & present.

I guess we will do ok, so long as we don't get into Europe and have to play Volgograd FC.

Eze Peasy at Anfield....

Best post by miles.
Hahaha

From every news outlet that has information on this it actually is done. Sky Germany apparently ran a whole feature on 'the small London club Crystal Palace' because Glasner has 'joined them on a 2 year deal with the option of a third year'

I think the issue (quite rightly) is out of respect for Roy the club are not going to announce anything until Roy is out of hospital and happy for the news to be made public.

Alex Howell - BBC Sport

"Roy Hodgson is doing well after being taken ill in training yesterday. The 76-year-old was unwell during the session at the training ground yesterday and his press conference was cancelled. Hodgson’s well-being is the club’s main focus but It’s understood that the club are also working through the possible succession plans. Oliver Glasner is the strong favourite to take the club and it’s understood that a deal for him to take over is close."

Now Zaha's got a bit of green grass ahead of him here... and finds Ambrose... not a bad effort!!!!

This report reads quite promising to me.

It's hard to know who he'll have available next season. Our four best players (Guehi, Doucoure, Eze, Olise) are all injured and on longterm contracts. If they don't play much more this year then big clubs might wait a year. Or they might not.

But whatever happens with them, it seems that Glasner is committed to 3-4-2-1 and a high press. Some thoughts and questions about the squad:
- Nunoz seems ideal for this approach. Maybe Imray also. Ward, Clyne, Mitchell less so.
- So what will Glasner do on the left? Can he get Mitchell or Schlupp to do a job at LWB?
- If we play three at the back we will need another CB even if Guehi stays. I would not be surprised in Ward is kept on another year as a backup RCB.
- Doucoure, Wharton, Lerma, Ozoh is strong competition for two spots in the centre of the field.
- The front three is very unclear at the moment. (1) We don't know if Olise and Eze will stay. (2) We don't know how our attackers will do playing a high press: it's very different to the current approach! Maybe this is the place we will look to strengthen at the end of the season?
