00:01Since arriving at Crystal Palace, Oliver Glasner has built a reputation for authenticity and blunt honesty.
00:08Yet his insistence that fans stay humble has sparked tension at Selhurst Park, highlighting a rift between manager and supporters.
00:17Speaking before Palace's narrow victory over Wolverhampton Wanderers, Glasner urged fans not to forget where you're coming from.
00:24Comments that were perceived by many as patronising. Supporters who have endured administration, relegation battles and years in the Championship
00:34felt insulted, believing their loyalty and humility were unquestionable.
00:39Banners and chants critical of Glasner reflected this frustration, making it the first visitable backlash of the season.
00:46The divide traces back to Glasner's January press conference, where he revealed Captain Mark Gahey would leave and disclose his
00:54own summer departure, informing fans he felt prematurely was unsettling.
01:00His comments to stay humble were intended as guidance, but have been often misinterpreted, amidst consistent results and subpar performances,
01:08leaving supporters questioning his priorities.
01:12Palace find themselves balancing historic highs Europe for the first time, with growing unrest off it, demonstrating that leadership in
01:19football requires more than just authenticity.
01:21It demands careful communication, especially with those who have carried the club through the darker days.
