How many players has Clement signed in his two windows? How many of those start on a regular basis? What's the reason for sticking with MBs players wen he's signed so many players? 

 

The football this season, domestically, has been horrible. Its the worst / most boring I've witnessed in years. XG or PPG can't hide how bad we've been since March. It's there to see, the stats back it up.

 

Jefte and Barron have looked good this season. Diomande flatters to deceive bur he's being played as a 10. Cerny and Bajrami are good in flashes. Cortes appears to be injury prone and we're obligated to buy him (smart thinking). Propper is rank, worse than Goldson and on par with Ben Davies. We've not seen enough of his other signings to make any judgements. 

 

He told us when he signed he'd get to the bottom of the injuries, he'd have us fitter and stronger and playing football and he'd get more out of players. 

 

Any evidence of the last paragraph? I'd argue hrs done the complete opposite. 

Oh - ppg is only useful when it agrees with you? Disappointing. 

 

In the Hearts match: 2 or 3 (who signed Raskin?) were MB signings, I think; 5 were PC signings. 

 

He does play most of his signings. 

 

Like I've said elsewhere he did want more but we we couldn't get them. We can't blame him for that. 

 

I have no evidence. I'm not disagreeing with you, per se. I just get the sense that it's down to invididual injury prone players that he didn't sign (Yilmaz, Lawrence, Tamundo, Danilo, etc.) that we must release to get over it. Cortes, I agree, is the one solely on his watch. Worse case interpretation, it's the same. It's not worse.

Groan...... 😃

 

I'll take having 1 more point than the team in 2nd place - no matter XG or goals scored. 

Me too.

I heard it said PC wanted 3 players in the summer & got none of them. Joan Jordan was one but not sure who other 2 were.

think another might have been the CB who went to Norwich

No PPG is fact - however, his PPG since March is horrific. If projected over a season, it'll get us 70-odd points. 

 

That's his most recent PPG - that's what we are delivering week on week added to low XG and uninspiring performances it tells its own story. 

 

Rebuild or not, we should be playing better, creating more, scoring more, gathering more points and be higher up the table. 

 

However, as I said earlier there is little to be gained by sacking him at the moment as we've no one in control to select his replacement.

 

It just shows how poor the club is from top to bottom. It's a slow and cruel demise and it'll continue until the board get their fingers out (and I'm not holding my breath).

PC won’t get sacked until we’ve played the yahoos at ibrox in January unless things deteriorate so badly. 
But Id advise those wishing his departure to be careful what they wish for. Some of the names mentioned fill me with dread

I think the man who will follow him is a McInnes from Kilmarnock he’s Scottish he’s an ex Rangers and he’s cheap

Standards have fallen if any of us would be satisfied with McInnes being appointed Rangers manager.

You're being very generous saying we'd have won the league if that infamous Dundee game wasn't postponed (twice).

 

Perhaps but momentum means a lot in football. Players with greater determination or even the players we had managed by Smith or Wallace would probably have got through it and not collapsed at Dingwall

 

So, one Cup and not far off a treble. What did Beale come close to winning?

Our form and deteriorated BEFORE Dundee and Dingwall. It started when Motherwell beat at Ibrox. 

 

We weren't close to a treble- how many points behind Celtic were we again?

 

The Scottish Cup Final was a decent 1 off performance and we were unlucky to lose but Aberdeen could same the same regarding our LC victory.

 

In reality we were nowhere near a treble under either Beale nor Clement.

We area big club anymore we can’t afford decent players and I don’t think the position is up there with big jobs we have to accept that we are were we are after years of mismanagement on the pitch and off the pitch
