| Clement dying on his arse as he did at Derby ? 22:23 - Apr 14 with 4264 views | leobhoy |
After the Boxing Day non entity and then home game capitulation with Bournemouth on New Years Eve , the Board even at that stage still had a chance to salvage the season with an appointment to get the Club over the line . Redknapp was available and willing , Allardyce had been out of work for months twiddling his thumbs until Palace snagged him on Christmas Eve but the Board in their infinite wisdom sat on their arses throughout December and eventually decided Brad Bobbly could no longer be tolerated ......They then went and compounded all their previous misguided work and reverted to an applicant whom they passed over 3 months previously for Brad (following his skyped interview at that stage) and decided he was now the man .
Any reasonable enquiry with those at the helm
Or closely associated with Derby would have got the alarm bills ringing . A talent he may well be as a Coach is a world apart from being a Number 1 ,in a league and environment which is unrelenting in its pressures and ability to 'think on your feet' and adapt to circumstances which vary from minute to minute of each game let alone each fixture . After a decent start at Derby he fell away badly , started to regress into negative style football and struggled to deal with the merciless media scrutiny ! Ring any bells ???? I ask the rhetorical question , what business ( whatever field ) could excel and sustain such a systematic change of leadership (which I estimate is at least 7) since December 2015 and hope to succeed ? For the record Monk , Curt ( subsequently confirmed as permanent , then revoked) Guidolin , Curt again during latters illness , Bradley , Curt again then Clement [Post edited 15 Apr 2017 6:32]

A long and growing list of tradesmen who have been supplied with blunt and broken tools and who have been expected to produce a quality product.
Some of those managers have been more culpable than others but the real reason for our demise lies elsewhere. |  |

Well firstly Guidolin was only ill for a couple of weeks so he came back and, along with his team - which included Curt, saved us.
You may be right about PC but it is far too early to say. You can have a bad spell at one club but still recover. Look at Monk and Rodgers. In the latter's case it could be argued he has recovered twice.
Whatever this is the wrong time to get stuck into our manager, or our players for that matter, when we need a united front to se the season out and whilst we still have a chance of staying up. |  |

I think despite the bravado of coming down to the touch line at the Palace game he's not so confident deep down. He's admitted to making mistakes which is a good sign - Bobbly was incapable of doing that and underserving of respect. Definitely needs to give some of the youngsters a chance even if we're in a relegation battle. As Ferguson said - young people suprise you when given the opportunity. PC is one for the long term IMO - quality coach who will become a great manager given time. |  |

Despite what has gone on over the last few seasons,and certainly since the start of this season,we now need stability,we cannot go on in this vein.We all know we are in the brown stuff,and we may or may not go down,that is not PCs fault,he has inherited a wafer thin squad,with no depth,give the man a chance.His time at Derby was not a complete disaster.Like I've said before if we stay up or go down,let him have a fair crack,but he will need the backing of the owners,whom ever they might be.
He also needs to recruit his own players, he has a good network to plunder, and also good contacts.l say we get behind him.The caveat to this is if he fails further down the line,then that is for others to decide,but for now we should give him our full backing. |  | | |

Derby were 5 points off automatic promotion when they sacked Clement.
It was described as the most bizarre sacking of the season, mostly because he wanted to target promotion and the chairman disagreed.

I don't think this is entirely Clement's doing. This batch of players have shown their heart can dessert them multiple times over the past couple of years.
You can only beat the same piece of metal so many times until it completely snaps and sadly the club didn't have the foresight to a) reinvent itself or b) at least buy good enough players to reinforce the metaphorical steel.
I'm in the camp of 'really shouldn't have sacked Guidolin in the first place' as I think with this squad we'd be 15th/16th right now but I don't think Paul Clement should shoulder all the blame. His sacking at Derby WAS utterly insane and I think we'd have a very good chance at bouncing back up into the Prem with him in charge - especially if some of our quite not good enough players are retained.
I'm as frustrated as anyone that he seems hellbent on pushing out the same underperforming players in the same underperforming system but keep in mind that the same system is what got us out of the relegation zone in the first place.
The players aren't good enough technically or mentally. If we survive it will be a miracle and everybody will be praising Paul the heavens. The one person we SHOULD be looking to oust immediately is Scumbag Jenkins. |  | | |

This wins the prize for the most ridiculous thread of the week. So the man who won Manager of the Month a short while ago is now dying on his arse? That's garbage. |  |

played 12 , lost 7 including 5 consecutive away losses , drawn 1 won 4. Conceded 22 in the process which doesn't suggest the defensive deficiencies have in any way been resolved and have accumulated one point from the Hull , Bournemouth and Middlesborough games. Monk was Manager of the Month in August 2014, went on to secure a record points haul ( which is very unlikely to be surpassed in the foreseeable future) was feted by some as a future England Manager and sacked in December 2015. The point is that as with any other business it is results driven which need to be maintained on a consistent basis. . So achieving Manager of the Month status is an achievement in itself but only for that particular short term. Defensively the side has been woeful right from the start ( and has not got much better under the current regime)and the evidence is there for all to see in the goals against column. As of last weekend there were only a couple of sides in the entire Football league who had conceded more ( Relegated Rotherham and soon to be relegated Leyton Orient) . Anyone seriously believe we won't concede today at Watford ? Come ten to five today I sincerely hope someone gets on this thread and propels these words well and truly down my throat . Will snap your hand off now for a really ugly nil nil and Hull losing at Stoke | | | |

As a club it deserves to go down in all honesty, the fans don't deserve it for sure but the way the old and new owners have run the thing it deserves to go down. |  |

Many issues can be pointed at to be the reasons where we are today.
The issue that falls on clements lap is not getting a centre half in the transfer window. That decision might and probably was out of his control which then takes us back to my first paragraph. |  |
