Glasner '100 per cent' committed until end of season
Oliver Glasner insists he has had no trouble maintaining 100 per cent commitment to Crystal Palace as he approaches the end of his tenure in south London.
In January, the Eagles boss announced his intention to move on when his contract expires at the conclusion of the current campaign.
Austrian Glasner, 51, led Palace to their first major trophy when they lifted the FA Cup in 2025 and could be on course to guide them to another after they reached the Conference League semi-finals on Thursday night.
For me its easy because Im doing this job, because Im loving this job and then its always 100 per cent, Glasner told Your Site.
As soon as I feel I can just give 99 per cent, I would leave and then maybe retire or whatever.
I think this is what every player, every fan, and everybody, every employee of Crystal Palace deserves, that the manager, that I give 100 per cent. Thats what I am always doing and so that is really easy for me.
Glasner gave Palace the night off in Florence to celebrate after reaching the Conference League last four.
They next face relegation-battling West Ham in the Premier League at Selhurst Park on Monday night.
Tonali: If you play well, you have to deal with rumours
Sandro Tonali has responded to reports linking the midfielder with a summer move away from Newcastle United.
Newcastle have made no secret of the fact they need to "trade" this summer to allow for a rebuild of their first-team squad, with Tonali understood to have a list of suitors both in England and on the continent.
However, the Italy international, who has been one of the standout Premier League midfielders since moving to St James' Park from AC Milan in the summer of 2023, says such speculation is normal when you are in form for your club.
"I dont look at social media, I dont like it," said the 25-year-old in an exclusive interview with Your Site ahead of Newcastle's home clash with Bournemouth on Saturday afternoon.
"After my ban I changed everything with social media, I just go to training and then go home and be with my family. My life is much better now.
"In football if you play well you have to deal with the rumours, but if you concentrate 100 per cent on your game, and youre happy, you dont have to think about anything or speak about anything."
See the full interview with Tonali on Your Site News Soccer Saturday Prematch on Saturday morning from 10am.

The midfielder has been handed a pay rise as a reward for his impact and performances since he moved to Stamford Bridge.

Howe has 'fire' to rebuild Newcaslte
Eddie Howe says he has the "fire" to lead Newcastle's rebuild this summer, but that doesn't guarantee he will stay at the club.
Howe's future is at a crossroads after four-and-a-half years at the helm at St James' Park, with a feeling the squad is at the "end of a cycle".
"I can understand why people would look at it and say that," said Howe.
"We've got a few players out of contract. Some big players who have done some amazing things for the club maybe entering the final months of their time here.
"You've got possibly players leaving in the summer and that natural evolution that side which happens. I can understand why 'the end of a cycle' may be used.
"What that looks like is unknown. It's always unknown. To try and predict the summer transfer window is almost impossible. It's been impossible in every window I've ever managed.
"The key thing for the club and me as the manager is to make sure we come out stronger for it. To do that, you need your processes and departments in place that run that in an elite way.
"In terms of my fire, it's burning very strongly. That's no guarantee, obviously, from my side about what's going to happen in the future because the forces that move in clubs move quickly.
"My fire is there. There's loads of wood stacked up and I'm ready to put it on it.
He added: "I just want serve the club and do what's right for the football club. That's always been my aim. If that's me leaving to help the club, then of course that's something I'll do, I've got no issue doing that. It's not about me.
"But if I believe I'm the right person to take the club forward, which I do currently right now, then I'll do that and I'll fight to the end. I'll fight harder than I've ever fought before, but it's about making sure that those two things are aligned."
Howe on transfer links: I won't play anyone who isn't committed
Newcastle head coach Eddie Howe says he won't play anyone who isn't 100 per cent committed amid speculation linking players away from the club.
Anthony Gordon is one of several big-name players who, with English and European clubs circling over Sandro Tonali and Tino Livramento.
Asked whether he has had any conversations with Gordon over the transfer links, Howe said: "I discuss things with players all the time. I don't necessarily discuss transfer speculation unless I feel it's got to a point that I have to.
"After I had the chat with Sandro (Tonali), the biggest thing I look for is the commitment to training because if I see that the player will perform. That will be same with Anthony and every player.
"One thing I'm not going to do is play any player if I don't feel they're 100 per cent committed to the club and it's future.
"I'm not talking about Anthony there, I am talking across the board."
Arne Slot on how to replace Salah this summer
Arne Slot admits Liverpool have to work out the best strategy to replace Mohamed Salah this summer and reiterated the notion that Liverpool are a "trading club".
Slot said: "Last summer we made quite a lot of signings and that's why we traded.
"In four windows we had net spend of 150m. That says what kind of club we are.
"We know Andy Robertson and Mo Salah are going to leave, that means we need to change two players but Kostas Tsimikas is coming back.
"The first aim is to see how we react in position of Mo Salah, whether we want to replace with a similar player or do that differently.
"At this moment of time I don't think there's a chance of a lot of players leaving. Of course there's the Ibou Konate contract situation.
"There might not be a need to trade a lot if you don't need to bring a lot of players in."
