"I don't know what all the fuss was about, joked captain Dean Henderson shortly after they gained a 2-0 win over Bosnian side Zrinjski to seal a 3-1 aggregate victory and reach the last 16 of the Conference League. It has been an emotional rollercoaster for Palace supporters."
"Oliver Glasner, the most successful manager in the club's history, then announced in January he was leaving at the end of the season, before telling the club's board they had abandoned the squad. That appeared to be the end of his tenure, but he has stayed, though fans held up a banner on Sunday before the 1-0 win over Wolves saying he was finished."
"There's so much noise, sometimes you really don't understand it. Maybe I gave some interviews that were not helpful and I have to admit that, but I'm always telling what I'm feeling, it's how I am. We're in a very good position in the league and the Conference League and it is up to us to make a really great season of it."
Crystal Palace has experienced a tumultuous 12 months marked by significant achievements and substantial challenges. The club won the FA Cup in May by defeating Manchester City, followed by a Community Shield victory over Liverpool. However, key players including Eberechi Eze, Marc Guehi, and Jean-Philippe Mateta departed or nearly left the club. Manager Oliver Glasner, the most successful in club history, announced his departure in January after criticizing the board for abandoning the squad, though he remained in position. Despite the chaos, Palace secured a Conference League last-16 spot with a 3-1 aggregate victory over Zrinjski and currently sits 13th in the Premier League, 10 points above relegation and three points from eighth place.
