German manager Oliver Glasner has openly hinted he may leave the club due to his frustration over limited transfer activity. The club has also been demoted from the UEFA Europa League to the Conference League over a breach of multiclub ownership rules, while star duo Eberechi Eze and Marc Guéhi both appear on the brink of moves away from Selhurst Park before the current transfer window closes.
