It looks to me like Glasner only wanted to leave himself, looking for any pretext to resign, then grounded Guehi and wrecked Liverpool's deal instead. Terrible character.
Now he may be off to Leverkusen leaving a mess behind him, which benefits neither Crystal Palace, nor Liverpool. Much less Marc Guehi. Only Glasner.
- Liverpool burnt their chance this window to bring in a new CB.
- Guéhi was ready to move, had his exit lined up, now stuck and upset.
- Palace kept him short-term but lost £35m and gained an unhappy captain.
- Glasner alone got exactly what he wanted: Guéhi stays, his authority grows, and he’s even being linked in Germany. He may leave a mess behind for others to clean up.
Forcing through Guéhi’s stay, killing Liverpool’s deal, and then entertaining links to Germany — all while leaving Palace with no fee and an unhappy captain — does paint Glasner as someone acting purely in his own interest. Hard not to read that as terrible character.
