🔍 What’s Going On
Recent headlines suggested that Glasner had already signed a new long-term deal with Palace — locking in his future beyond the current agreement. Some reports inferring imminent extensions gave fans hope that the FA Cup-winning boss would remain at Selhurst Park for several more seasons to come.
In contrast, Glasner himself has repeatedly stated that no negotiations over a new contract are underway. He emphasized that while he remains under contract until next summer, contract renewal isn’t being discussed at present.
What stoked the confusion further were Glasner’s public frustrations with the club’s “passive” transfer window and perceived lack of investment, which many interpreted as signals that he may be demanding stronger terms or planning an exit.

😠 Fan Backlash & Regret
When reports circulated that contract terms had been settled, many fans celebrated prematurely — sharing optimism across social media, forums, and fan groups. Some believed this was confirmation of Palace’s commitment to build on their recent success (including FA Cup triumph).
But as Glasner’s clarifications emerged, fans expressed disappointment and regret. Some felt misled by clickbait headlines, others angry at media outlets for treating speculation as fact. A typical sentiment: “Why did I get excited for nothing?” became common. Supporters lament that this misunderstanding may strain Glasner’s relationship with the club, especially if trust erodes.

⚽ The Bigger Picture
Several factors seem to have triggered the confusion:
Glasner’s contract expires in summer next year, meaning extension talks are logical but not definitive.
His dissatisfaction with transfer business — especially the exits of key players like Eberechi Eze — added fuel to speculation that he might seek better terms or consider offers elsewhere.
Media outlets referencing possible interest from other clubs (e.g. RB Leipzig) may have led readers to assume Glasner was negotiating or planning to leave.

🎯 What Both Sides Are Saying
Oliver Glasner insists he has made no threats to resign, no firm discussions for contract renewal, and remains focused on the players and upcoming matches.
Crystal Palace officials reportedly opened early discussions at one point to ward off interest from other clubs. But again, nothing binding has been announced.

✅ Bottom Line & Takeaway
What seemed like positive news to many fans has turned out to be a misunderstanding. There is no signed contract yet, no renewal agreed to, and no confirmations beyond Glasner’s ongoing commitment under his existing deal.
For fans, it’s become a case study in how rapidly hope plus uncertain reporting equals frustration. The lesson: always wait for firm statements from the club or manager before accepting contract or transfer reports as fact.
