I have this real worry that he got lucky at Palace with the players that were there when he was (Eze, Lacroix, Mateta Guehi etc), he won the fa cup final by a single goal after Henderson really should have been sent off. And he won the conference league which, for a prem club, was harder not to win than to win it.

In the last four years Oliver Glasner has won the Eurooa League, the Conference League, the FA Cup and the Charity Shield.

He hasn't won anything at Nottingham Forest because he has been here for only seven games.

Just to add on this one, whilst I do agree with the point on the FA Cup final red card etc. Think you're ignoring two key points, one those guys you refer to are all guys he either brought in or brought the best out of. Mateta in particular had largely struggled before he played for Glasner, Lacroix was his Diomande, Guehi/Eze/Wharton were obviously talented but guys he brought through and nurtured. Not like he was just buying finished articles and playing them.

Secondly, whilst we did well end of last year under Pereira, that is true. There is a 110m shaped hole in the midfield that would've made it incredibly difficult to recreate those levels. Anderson was absolutely the key to making that 442 work that Pereira was playing and I just can't see how we'd have been able to replicate it without him. Although I do think we'd probably have more points right at this moment, longer term I'm less convinced. 

Glasner certainly has a proven higher ceiling as a coach, we just have to stick with it rather than constantly churning managers for short term fixes. Even if it fails, it's worth the risk for the potential reward. You yourself are openly saying being in the PL sucks as we're always in relegation battles and we know a key reason for that is managerial turnover. This is the one we stick with and hope it settles.

Vitor and Nuno had their chances last year but didn't take them for very different reasons!

You make a good point though, I think there has been little discussion of Glasner's time before Palace.
A quick read of his Wiki page suggests after early success at LASK & Wolfsburg, he moved to Frankfurt. In his first season, they started slowly and were in the relegation zone in November before going on a 6 game winning streak and getting up to 6th. More importantly they won the Europa League beating West Ham and Barcelona.
Next season, they got to last 16 CL and reached the german cup final. These are definitely top manager stats incomparable with anyone we've had in recent times including Nuno.
