Why would Glasner leave Palace and move to Forest? It seems a sideways step in many ways and I’m surprised he couldn’t get a bigger gig at a European club.

I agree on the surface but forest are far bigger spenders so likely have a much higher ceiling. Probably gets more backing plus a potential 100m+ to play with from the Anderson sale.

I can only assume he thought he would get a job at a bigger club that never materialised?
Does seem a strange move especially working for an owner like Marianakis after he played a part in getting Palace removed from Europa League last summer

Wasn’t there an issue with him being overruled at Palace (like selling Guehi from under him, and others I think).

The bigger question for me is why didn’t we go for him?

Cpfc are a selling club, nffc while they just sold EA to city they got approx 116 mil, over recent seasons cpfc have lost zaha, olise, eze, guehi all top players for no where that figure so they would apoear to be heading in a similar trajectory to both Southampton and wolves only a matter of time til wharton and mateta goes while forest hold onto many of their best players

He would have stayed at Palace, but they never backed him in the way he wanted. Remember they were going to sell Guehi but didn't have a replacement lined up, he told them if they sell and don't get him a replacement he was going to resign, they bulked at that and kept Guehi.
He always felt Palace could push to be regularly at top end of the PL but that would take investment and the Palace owners aren't a splash the cash club. But Forest are, and he knows they will back him, large pot from PL money plus whatever Anderson goes for £100m?
Forest also have an amazing history, many, many fans outside of the UK know Forest's history, that will always attract top mgrs

They almost qualified for the champions league and spend money right up to their governance obligations.

Palace don’t spend. Think the last three years they left a lot of room to spend on PSR, with player sales. But didn’t want to. Not sure Parrish etc can put that money in, the shipping man can.

One will rely on great recruitment and coaching to even stay in the league, the other with the same could be champions league.

It’s an easy decision. The problem at Forest is obviously the owner sees that as bringing an expectation that they’ll be very successful, otherwise you get the sack in three seconds flat.

If you back yourself. And you’re ambitious. It’s an easy choice.

Compare it to our model. Spent big. Failed badly (would take us over two seasons to match Leeds, and probably a lifetime Sunderland) and I’m not sure there’s is the wrong answer.

We’ve lost our manager anyway.., and didn’t stay up…, if we’d taken a risk when McKenna went to Brighton, maybe we stay up, or maybe we’re still in the EFL.

One thing for sure, their model from when we went to their place last game of the season, and they needed to win to stay in the championship, seems like yesterday, has worked VERY well for them.

They’re an established top flight team now, who just played in Europe. And wants that every year.

They sailed past us. Including during our recent 5 year period of huge success. They’ve done it better .., on and off the pitch, their managers have been levels above ours.

McKenna isn’t anywhere close to Glasner or Nuno, or Pereria either who’s won trophies all over the world.

When we gave Mckenan £5 million, we made it impossible for him to stay if we went down.

We’re lucky he got us back up .., bad decisions with decent outcomes don’t paper over the woeful recruitment and decision making.

Look at their 25. Look at ours. They don’t look like they belong in the same division.

I’d take him over our owners who have just built Mark Ashton FC and that’s our limit now…, and it’s not at their level.

You are so boring, and a broken record.

This question is not about McKenna, Ashton or the club, and yet you (and you alone in the replies) just take it as an opportunity to the knock the club, Ashton and McKenna.

If any more proof was need that you're not a Town fan, but a troll, this proves it beyond doubt.

Agree, who takes a conversation about Glasner and makes it solely about Ipswich.

Forest typically get 5,000 more at home games than Palace. They are only a marginally bigger club & winning 2 European Cups over 45 years ago won't matter much to anyone under a certain age. The only attraction must be that the Forest owner is prepared to invest in his squad (unlike Palace) although the sale of Anderson (for an eye-watering price) does show how hard it is to build a CL challenging squad,

The thread is about Crystal Palace, their manager and Nottingham Forest. Why try to turn this into a let’s bash ITFC, it’s owners and former manager…….again?

I know you loathe this club and you are not alone in your hatreds, but couldn’t you wait until the next dismal bedwetting session?

It’s a lovely day out there - just enjoy it and give yourself a rest from the misery swamp.

I trust your club’s recruitment is going well. OTBC
