Alan Shearer expects Crystal Palace boss Oliver Glasner to leave the club as early as this week, following his explosive outburst against the board after a humiliating 2-1 defeat by Sunderland in the latest Premier League match.
The Match of the Day pundit believes that Glasner's job is on the line, citing the German's heated exchanges with Palace officials during and after the game. "I'll be surprised if he's here next game," Shearer said, highlighting the severity of the situation for the beleaguered manager.
Glasner had taken responsibility for the team's poor performance, which saw them concede three goals without scoring once, but his outburst suggests that he is struggling to come to terms with the extent of the problem. The Palace board has been under pressure from fans and pundits alike to sort out the club's defensive woes, and it seems that Glasner's fate may be all but sealed.
If Shearer's prediction comes true, it would mark a significant blow to Palace's chances of competing for a top-six finish this season. The team is currently hovering above the relegation zone, with only six points from their first nine matches in the Premier League. A change in management could potentially turn things around, but it remains to be seen if Glasner will get the chance to prove himself on the touchline this week.
Glasner's departure would also raise questions about who could take over as manager and what kind of impact they might have on the team's fortunes. Palace has a relatively low wage bill compared to other Premier League clubs, which may limit their ability to attract top talent in the transfer market. However, the club still needs to find a solution to its defensive problems if it is to avoid being relegated.

he's gotta be struggling with the 3-0 loss 
palace's defense has been atrocious and they need a change ASAP 
️ i feel bad for glasner, he took responsibility for the team's performance but you can't just keep saying sorry after that kind of defeat 
I think Alan Shearer might be right about Oliver Glasner leaving Crystal Palace ASAP... 
The German manager just blew his own head off after that bad loss 
Palace fans are already getting restless and if they don't see some serious changes soon, they might start throwing their season ticket holders out the window 
. The board needs to get behind whoever takes over next, 'cause right now, they're stuck in neutral 
️...
. Can't wait to see what happens next! 
anyway, if ogger does get the axe, who's gonna take over? probably someone who'll try to fix those defense issues 
and yeah, palace fans are all like "what's going on with our team?" 
and btw, have u seen shearer's beard? it's longer than ogger's temper 
as early as this wk?? that would be such a shocker!!! the team has been struggling soooo much and now its possible they might get a new manager??? 
but at the same time, i feel bad for glasner cuz he took full responsibility for the losses 
what r ur thoughts?? 
they need someone new ASAP 
i heard brede hangeland was in talks for the job but idk if he's interested tho 
whoever it is gotta turn things around cuz 6 points from 9 games is not good enough 
. A change in management might be a good thing for the team, but they also need to figure out how to keep their top talent 
. Palace needs to prioritize its squad and get that wage bill under control 
... otherwise, they'll be stuck in the relegation zone forever 
.
. Now we just gotta wait and see who'll step in to save Palace's bacon 
. it's clear that he needs to sort out palace's defensive woes ASAP, but with all the pressure from fans & pundits, it's gonna be tough for him to keep his cool 
.
however its tough to see them going through so many ups and downs already this season, fingers crossed they can turn it around soon 
Oh man, I think Shearer might be right... Glasner's outburst was insane! 
Can't wait to see what happens next... Fingers crossed they find someone who can turn things around 
also, what's going on with the board? are they not doing enough to help Glasner turn things around? 
. It's like they can't make up their minds at Palace. First, Roy Hodgson leaves and then Oliver Glasner gets the job... it's been a mess since day one. The board needs to take responsibility for their decisions and not just blame the manager when things go wrong 
I think this could be a turning point for Palace, you know? Like, they're already struggling and now they're gonna lose their manager... 
. I mean, Alan Shearer knows what he's talking about, he's been around the Premier League scene for ages
