Oliver Glasner led Crystal Palace to their first major honor by winning the FA Cup last season, but he has lost much credibility with supporters in the months since the Wembley victory.<\/h2>\n

Crystal Palace manager Oliver Glasner hits back at critical Crystal Palace fans<\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/div>\n
Oliver Glasner’s fractured relationship with Crystal Palace fans has taken a further blow as the outgoing manager warns them to remain humble.<\/p>\n
The Austrian was toasted at Selhurst Park last year after leading the club to their first ever major title with victory in the FA Cup. He followed that up with a spell of magic for the Eagles, winning the Community Shield.<\/p>\n
But over the next few months, he became increasingly dissatisfied as he saw the likes of Eberechi Eze and Marc Gehi leave the club.<\/p>\n
Coach Glasner has already confirmed that he will leave the team at the end of the season, but there is a possibility that he will leave before then. After Thursday night’s 1-1 draw with Zrinjski Mostar in the Conference League, Palace fans chanted for Glasner to be sacked.<\/p>\n
It subsequently emerged that Palace could accelerate the 51-year-old’s departure, but it is now understood he will stay on for important games. Palace have enjoyed a good run this year with just one win in the Premier League and sit just eight points clear of the drop zone.<\/p>\n

And Mr. Glasner remains frustrated by palace followers demanding his head, with some suggesting that they need to remember where they came from.<\/p>\n
“They can say and sing whatever they want. I know what I’m doing. I think the most important thing is to stay humble, and I think it’s the same for the fans,” he said.<\/p>\n
“Stay humble. Never forget where you come from. I think some of the people who are so critical in this situation are no longer humble.”<\/p>\n
“Forget where you came from, and in life you usually get punished for this. It would have been very easy for me to withdraw earlier, because I had a lot of opportunities to be honest. I didn’t do that. I felt responsible for the team, especially the players.”<\/p>\n

Asked whether he would remain in office until the end of the current campaign, he added: “Let’s wait and see. We never know what will happen in the future.”<\/p>\n
In a heartbreaking press conference before the home game against the Timberwolves, Glasner also suggested he wasn’t good enough to overcome the loss of several key players.<\/p>\n
He added: “I think Crystal Palace have had the best time in their history and I may have only played a small role in what has been a great 18-20 months.”<\/p>\n
