Glasner congregated all his players and staff at the club's training ground just before noon on Friday. Prior to his announcement to the players, his captain Guehi had confirmed his intention to join Manchester City. Nevertheless, the cracks between Glasner and the Palace hierarchy began showing in the summer. Although denied by Glasner, a number of sources have indicated that the 51-year-old would have considered his position immediately had Palace sold Guehi in the summer. That said, Palace have been active in identifying potential candidates to replace Glasner in the summer.
