Kelly Cates is joined by Rory Smith, Andros Townsend and Joe Hart to reflect on what’s been a tough few days for Crystal Palace and Tottenham Hotspur, but will either Olivier Glasner or Thomas Frank make it until the end of the Premier League season?
Oliver Glasner confirmed on Friday he we will be stepping down at the end of the season, but after the sale of captain Marc Guehi to Man City, reports that Jean-Philippe Mateta is also on the verge of an exit and defeat to Sunderland meaning it’s no win in 10 for Palace – things have gone from bad to worse. The Palace boss gave an explosive post-match interview in which he claimed the team had been ‘abandoned’ by the board.
There’s also mounting pressure on Thomas Frank at Spurs. With just seven wins from 22 Premier League games this season, there are reports that the club are considering calling time on his seven-month reign.
BBC Senior Football Correspondent Sami Mokbel gives the latest on both Glasner’s and Frank’s future and Palace podcaster Dan Cook discusses whether fans will be sticking by the manager or the board.
Plus, journalist Maher Mezahi reflects on Senegal’s win over Morocco in the AFCON final which saw a walk-off, 17-minute delay, a missed-Panenka penalty and extra-time winner.
