Yeah especially as City look slightly more like a football team these days.
If Glasner is leaving no matter what, then we should be talking to him at the very least.

Not for me. A high league finish trumps coming second in a domestic cup.
I will be supporting Palace in the final though. I hope they get EL for that reason.
Either/or for me - runners up vs 6th or 7th in the league not much to say one deserves it over the other

Mr. Glasner, if you want to explain Eintracht's development in recent years: Do we have to talk about intensity?
Oliver Glasner : I think so. Intensity is one of our core themes. This applies to the way we play football, but also to the club as a whole.
We hear the term more and more often, including from you. How would you define intensity?
Intensity used to be equated with physicality, but I think it describes something much broader: it's less about what you do and more about how you do it.
So it's about speed?
Among other things, yes. With Eintracht we are at the top of the Bundesliga in terms of physical data. But that's only of any use if your head isn't always one step behind. It takes anticipation to react quickly to ball losses and synchronicity between the parts of the team in order to then immediately countermove and get in front of the opponent's goal. We therefore focus a lot on speed of action. But courage and immediacy are also part of it.
Can intensity make teams that have to operate with limited resources more successful? Union Berlin and Freiburg are currently standing out in the Bundesliga , but Augsburg and Mainz have also been making a lot of their opportunities with great physical effort for years. Schalke are also scoring more points since their performances have started to look a little more intense...
The most promising factor for success remains money. Whoever has the highest budget is usually at the top of the table, like FC Bayern has been for ten years. You still have to do a good job, no question about it, but the financial strength allows you to have a squad with which a different type of football is possible. You also have to be able to afford playful lightness. As Eintracht we are between places eight and ten in the money list, so - like many other clubs - we have to find other ways to gain an advantage on the pitch. Intensity isn't everything - but without intensity everything would be nothing.

I guess this season we look at it differently as we're not in the mix in the league. Normally we're hoping that the top 4 team win the cups so there are more EL/ECL places based on league finish. We also want top 4 to have more end of season games so they mess up in the league.
Now we have 5 CL places and I guess there is a school of thought that we want City to win. That drags another league place into UEFA and congests another club's season.
This all becomes clearer when we know whether we get CL football or nothing I guess.
