'Our greatest manager' but is Glasner's time up?

We asked for your views on whether manager Oliver Glasner should stay or go.

Here are some of your comments:

Gary: I think Glasner should resign. It's obvious the players are no longer responding to him. Give the job to Paddy McCarthy to the end of the season. He will play a flat back four I'm sure. We need to tighten up at the back, something Glasner refuses to do. The one big mistake he's made is telling the players he's leaving, so I think he should go now. Shame it's ended like this. He is our greatest manager the club has had. His time is up though.

Phil: It feels as if Glasner has been trying to talk the board into relieving him of his duties for a while. He is a great manager but, like with Guehi and Mateta recently, he's clearly decided that he wants to leave as soon as possible. It's a shame to end things on a sour note when he's been so good - but if he doesn't want to be here, probably it's best to end things sooner rather than getting a new manager in just before the next season starts!

Bob: Glasner has had his glory and now wants to leave. OK, let him go and move on. Get a new manager in now who will steer us in the right direction. Get either Thomas Frank or Ole Gunnar Solksjær! We can't do any worse at the moment.

Paddars: The morale appears to have subsided since the loss of the FA Cup match at Macclesfield, the departure of several "star" players, the shenanigans with Mateta and the announcement of Glasner signing off at the end of the season......why was that allowed to occur? The Conference game last night was appalling since they had almost a week off to prepare, but it looked as though they were disinterested. I hate to think what will happen in the second leg at Selhurst next week. Perhaps Parish etc are more interested in the new stadium plans than supporting the team? As for Glasner.....a one-trick pony in my view.

Victor: Glasner has done an amazing job with us. FA Cup winners, Community Shield winners and getting us into Europe. But recently it is clear his focus isn't the same and the players aren't playing with the same enjoyment and confidence as they did at the beginning of the season. I think he should go and bring in someone else. Personally I would like Thomas Frank who would step quite easily into the role.

John: Yes, he should go immediately. Appoint Paddy McCarthy until the end of the season and review what he achieves. Carrick at MU and the Brentford man shows what can be achieved promoting from within. Remember the Liverpool "bootroom" success years.

Mike: The best chance for survival this season is for Glasner to stay. If he were to go early, results will not improve because it will be the same players. The problem is the squad, the balance is all wrong, we have not strengthened at wing-back and defensively, which is much needed as at the moment defensively we are hopeless and we struggle to get the ball forward quickly through midfield. The problems stem from poor transfer dealings, which is a big weakness with Parish.
