🚨 Palace Survived Glasner’s Exit, But Can Sage Steer the Ship?

📝 THE FULL PICTURE: Crystal Palace hit a high by winning the Conference League in May, their third trophy in a year under Oliver Glasner. Then the rug got yanked: Glasner bounced to Nottingham Forest in July, leaving fans furious. Pierre Sage took over, but he's still a rookie, managing under 100 senior games. The squad's got issues too, losing Lacroix, holding onto Muñoz, Wharton, and Sarr is tricky, and the January spending on Larsen and Johnson backfired. Even with the new Selhurst Park stand finally starting, the ownership situation is shaky. Sage has a real job on his hands. 💭 MY TAKE: Losing your trophy-winning boss to a rival hurts, period. Sage might be a gem, but this is a massive step up. The squad has quality, but the board's penny-pinching after bad buys could haunt them. Europa League plus league? That's a grind. I'm not counting Palace out, but this season's going to test everyone's nerves, on and off the pitch.
