Oliver Glasner very clear on why he is so ambitious & pushes everyone as hard as he can Reiterates need for progress at Palace but insists it's not his wish or goal that's important but what's good for club. Seemed to dismiss suggestion it's like Eintracht #CPFC www.nytimes.com/athletic/685...

A mature and patient batting display from England today - if in fact they were 10 years old. Quite a ridiculous Test.

Bombshell quotes from Oliver Glasner as he reaffirms that Crystal Palace must not sell Marc Guehi to Liverpool. Says Palace will ‘fall back a step’ if he leaves. Glasner understands the financial decision, but advocates for sporting performance to take precedence. #CPFC

I think the most absurd thing about the Palace demotion is that being so pedantic and hardline on this case doesn't actually touch the multiple problems that multi-club ownership actually throws up. As someone in Uefa put to me, it's being strong on the negligible aspects.

🦅 Column on Crystal Palace's European demotion. Football, for so many, is meant to be a release – a break from the pressures of working life and personal struggle. But increasingly, it feels like the sport is being governed by the same systems that exhaust us elsewhere. #CPFC

Seems misleading to come to that conclusion from what UEFA said re: #CPFC - it appears to be more of a situation where they are seeking to avoid making a ruling if they don't need to Frustratingly, there are a load of moving parts to this whole situation

Crystal Palace are in discussions with PSV goalkeeper Walter Benitez over a move to the Premier League. Benitez, 32, will be out of contract with PSV later this month and is yet to sign a new deal, meaning he is free to discuss a move with interested clubs. 📝 @mattwoosie.bsky.social

Great to see Killian Phillips make his Ireland debut. He's grabbed every opportunity since coming to #CPFC - more young players should follow that example. Success story for academy/U21 recruitment, even if he didn't make the first team. Will do well in his career now he's moved on to St Mirren.
