Although it’s not been the greatest season for Crystal Palace in 2023/24 by any stretch, there are reasons for the South Londoners to be cheerful.
Oliver Glasner’s hire, for example, could transform the Eagles in the remaining games this season, and whilst a European finish is totally out of the question, mid-table safety will be just fine at this point.
Roy Hodgson’s time had come, and it is to his great credit that he stepped aside for Glasner rather than making a show of things.

Given that he was taken ill around the time of the announcement, it was clearly the correct decision for the 76-year-old to have made – before he was pushed.
In 13th place on 28 points and with 12 games left to play, Palace can just concentrate on finishing the campaign as high as possible before a decent summer holiday and total reset.
They’ll be doing so in the knowledge that powerhouse midfielder, Cheick Doucoure will remain at the club for another five years, having signed a new deal with the club according to Fabrizio Romano.
As transfer expert and CaughtOffside columnist, Romano, states, Liverpool were one of a number of clubs that were keeping tabs on the 24-year-old’s situation just incase there was a chance that he could be persuaded to leave the Selhurst Park outfit.
