Crystal Palace manager Oliver Glasner has maintained his commitment to the club, stating that he is "100% committed" to seeing out the remainder of the season. The 51-year-old Austrian had previously expressed frustration with the manner in which key players were being sold by the club, but has now clarified his stance.
Glasner had been offered a new contract last summer, but declined, citing concerns over the sale of players. He was disappointed when Palace captain Marc Guehi was sold to Manchester City on the day before a Premier League fixture at Sunderland, and forward Eberechi Eze followed suit with a move to Arsenal at the start of the season.
However, Glasner has since had a lengthy meeting with chairman Steve Parish, during which they discussed the sale of Guehi and other issues. Glasner believes that he is still "100% committed" to Palace, and that he will give his best for the remainder of the season.
When questioned about his comments after the Sunderland game, in which he criticized the club's handling of player sales, Glasner acknowledged that his approach may not have been the most effective. However, he insisted that he was never attacking anyone personally, but rather expressing his own frustrations and concerns.
Glasner has also clarified that French striker Jean-Philippe Mateta will be available for Palace's upcoming game against Chelsea, despite reports suggesting that he may leave the club during the transfer window. The manager believes that there is a price at which clubs are willing to sell players, but emphasized that every player has a different value.
Overall, Glasner's comments suggest that he remains committed to Palace and is determined to see out the remainder of the season with the club. However, his previous frustrations over player sales have highlighted the need for greater communication and cooperation between the manager and the club's hierarchy.

. I mean, don't get me wrong, I love a good transfer deal as much as the next guy, but when you're losin' key players like Guehi and Eze, it's like the club is just throwin' in the towel 
. And what really gets my goat is that Glasner was right to speak up about it - we need more transparency from the club when it comes to player sales 
.
, we had a whole squad of homegrown players who were integral to our success. Nowadays, it feels like every player is gettin' sold for a pretty penny 
. I'm still rootin' for Palace, but it's hard not to feel like they're just chasin' after the next big payday 
.
. We need a manager who's on the same page as the players and the fans - that's what it means to be a real Palace fan 
. It seems like Oliver Glasner was right to express his concerns about key players being sold without much notice or consultation. As a fan, you want your team to be stable and cohesive, not constantly losing and selling away your best assets. The fact that he's now back on board after a meeting with Steve Parish is great news for Palace supporters... but it also raises questions about what happened behind the scenes 
. Was Glasner just trying to send out a message, or did the club really change its approach? Either way, I'm glad we're seeing more open communication from the manager now 
. The upcoming game against Chelsea can't come soon enough... let's hope Glasner's team is ready to put in a good show 
doesn't really change anything for palace fans, we'll still be supporting them till the end of the year 
. I've been following Crystal Palace for years, and it's always tough when you see players leave the club, especially if they're your favorites 
. I'm not saying his approach isn't effective - maybe he just needs to work on finding that balance between being honest with the chairman and keeping everyone happy 
i mean, 100% committed or not, he's still got to keep his job atm 
also, gotta say, Parish had better come correct with some answers about those player sales 
... wait, how much does a football player cost again? Like, seriously, some people are selling players for millions of dollars 
️. I don't know if 100% commitment means he'll stick around for the full season or what, but at least he's being honest about his concerns 
. And what's with the whole "100% committed" thing? Is that just a PR move or something? I'm not buying it 
.
I'm so glad Oliver Glasner is staying put at Crystal Palace! 
. I mean, can you blame him for being frustrated with the sale of key players? It's like, what's the point of building a team if you're just going to sell off the best pieces 
Fingers crossed Palace can make a push for the playoffs 
.
.
. But at the same time, 100% commitment is a big ask, especially when you're trying to win games and lift the team 
. Maybe he just needs some reassurance from the club that they've got his back 
... if only they had communicated better about Guehi's move, who knows what might have happened 
... I think Glasner is trying to make the best of it, but at the same time he's still got some pretty valid concerns 
. Either way, it just goes to show that every player has a different value, and you've got to be prepared to negotiate 
.
maybe they should've had a more detailed discussion about what was going on behind the scenes? anyway, seems like Glasner's still got his head in the game 
. What if there's more to this story than meets the eye? Maybe there are some behind-the-scenes deals that we're not aware of 
I'll be keeping an eye on this situation
