Crystal Palace fans told Oliver Glasner he is ‘finished’ as their manager during their latest supporter protest.
A brutal banner was unfurled by supporters during Sunday’s victory over Wolves at Selhurst Park.

Palace snatched all three points thanks to Evann Guessand’s 90th minute winner.
However, it came after fans had made their ill-feeling towards the club’s hierarchy known.
Glasner was booed by the home supporters just three days after he had been taunted during their Conference League clash on Thursday.
Chants of ‘sacked in the morning’ could be heard as Palace were held to a 1-1 draw by Bosnian side Zrinjski Mostar on Thursday.
The Austrian held talks with the club regarding his future the following day.
Although he remains manager, Glasner has already confirmed he will leave the club at the end of the campaign.
A banner unveiled during the clash with Wolves made the thoughts of some fans towards him and the club clear.
The message read: “Opportunities missed – board inept. Fans disrespected – Glasner finished.”
Palace won the FA Cup under Glasner last season and they also won the Community Shield in August.
However, both Eberechi Eze and Marc Guehi have since been sold by the club.

Meanwhile, they were beaten in the third round of the FA Cup by sixth-tier Macclesfield this season.
Prior to the win over Wolves, Palace had won just one of their previous 11 Premier League matches.
Glasner was asked about the banner after the match, telling talkSPORT: “Actually, this is the way they can express their opinion, because they can’t talk directly and then it’s okay.
“Everybody can express his opinion and I was praised very often. On the other side, I will always say what I think, because I always did, I always respect everyone, whoever (it) is, wherever he comes from. So it’s completely fine.
“That’s the way fans can express their opinion with banners, because otherwise it’s quite difficult and what’s important was that they supported the team. This is what they did until the end. This helped us to win the game.
“On the other side, and this is again, it’s no criticism to the fans, no disrespect, it’s just my opinion. And I mentioned this so often in life and not just in football, in life. When you are in bad moments, then you need support.”

Palace now sit 13th in the table thanks to their late victory over Wolves.
The result moves Glasner’s side ten points clear of the relegation zone with 11 matches remaining.
They host Zrinjski in the second leg of their knockout play-off tie on Thursday.
That match is followed by a trip to face Manchester United at Old Trafford three days later.
