Oliver Glasner to leave Crystal Palace at end of season, after deciding against extending contract; Austrian boss led Palace to FA Cup in May last year but decided to depart Selhurst Park five months later in October; Glasner hopes announcement can improve poor form and bring "clarity"
He said: "A decision has already been taken, months ago. I had a meeting with Steve [Parish] in October, the international break.
"We had a very long talk, and I told him I will not sign a new contract.
"We agreed at the time it was best to keep it between us. It's best that we could do that and keep it confidential for three months. I told the team today, because I think now it's important to have clarity.
In football, timing is often the biggest clue to what’s really going on This is Glasner telling everyone Palace have no ambition and the club are resetting, but without him.
