Clement: Stick or Twist?

[Gribz 972]

Seriously - separate thread for Clement though? 

 

First time last night I was fed up of his excuses and nice guy approach. Its like the Celtic game was a fib.

 

I am not one for knee jerks as its best wait to live in the now but holy shit question marks all over him now.

Question marks over Clement, yes.

Bigger question marks over our finances?

 

If we want to become consistently competitive again like the good old days (a generation ago) then we have to sort out the finances and the way we do business.

 

Bumping managers and squad overhauls with money we don't have, .... haven't been working well for us.

 

Lets see what the CEO has to say.

Push may come to shove, but it's a bit of a red herring, for me.

 

There are wider financial causes of our problems, with hints of plans in place to solve them. 

 

The squad has been dismantled, with more still to come, and isn't good enough. I'm content to let Koppen cook over the next couple of windows. 

 

I had already written off the season as a rebuild; these dropped points don't change that.

This time last year Clement was doing fine. This season he has not done very well at all. Is that him or the material at his disposal? Too many players are mentally weak. There is not one thrawn bugger in the entire squad and you need two on the field. I can’t remember the last such. Ryan Jack was the nearest.

No new manager is going to do any better . He’ll face the same problem until better players are found so sack him and where does the payoff money come from? Others will have to go too because a new man will want his own hangers on then there’s the question of compensation to whichever club  the new chap is poached from.

 

Easy, some will say. There are managers out of work. Get one of them. But they’re out of work for a reason. They’re duffers, in which case we don’t want them or they choose to be idle pending a lucrative vacancy which rules out Rangers.

 

Nobody is accepting or celebrating second best just because they accept reality.

There is no point in changing the manager.

 

Accept that we are going to finish second this season.

I get all the rebuild talk, but its the distance we are behind that is most worrying. Our away for is that of a bottom 6 club (at best) with no signs of it improving.

 

For those accepting reality of being 2nd best, is the distance not a concern? We are closer to the bottom 6 than we are to Celtic.

 

Can a new manager get any more out of these players? We'll never know until we try. 

 

His time has come and gone. I also accept he is a not the only problem we have, but again, that isn't a credible defence for the woeful performances.

And next season and the season after that

Clement must behaving a chuckle knowing he's on a winner every way you look at it he's sacked it's compensation time he stays in my book he's getting money for nothing so we're up the swanee whatever way you look at it.

[Gribz 972]

I just find him too weak and the interviews are getting repetitive now. 

 

Like i said in the match thread - St Mirren, Motherwell, Hibs and Dundee = 3 points. That is certainly no blip.

I should add - its absolutely right we can now start questioning the manager. I want him to succeed but the excuses are cacking up back time.
