That sounds like the opposite of what Genk and Brugge fans say about him, they seem to love him and say how he overhauled their underachieving squads and replaced them with young, hungry players. Even Beveren fans say he got them playing the best football they can remember, and he was only there for 6 months.
Just checked and the average age of his signings in first summer window at Genk was 22, same in his first summer window at Brugge. We desperately need younger players with something to prove so that is music to my ears.

1 win in our last 5. 9 scored and 9 conceded. 10 points dropped. 

Similar to the 22/23 collapse under Gio where we dropped 12 points from 15 games. 

Similar to the 21/22 post winter collapse under Gio where we got 3 wins from 8. 

Similar to the 19/20 post winter collapse under Gerrard where we got 3 wins from 8. 

Similar to the 18/19 post winter collapse under Gerrard where we got 5 wins from 10. 

Wonder when the penny will finally drop?

That's a trend which has continued with us. Obviously all loan signings but Silva is 21, Dio is 22 and Cortes is 20. All players with time to develop. Hopefully it's similar in the summer window except with players who are permanent signings (I'm aware that Dio is a loan to buy and will be here next season).

Aye I don’t give much credence to what Monaco fans think, just pointing out what they were saying around the time he left them

Phil wasn't here for the post winter collapses of 18/19, 19/20, 21/22 or the 22/23 pre-world cup break.
We've collapsed and won 1 out of our last 5 this season. 
What's the correlation between all these collapses? Hint, it sure as fuck ain't Phil. 
 
 

This is why managers often don’t want to come in halfway through a season.
They are judged with a team that isn’t theirs, and one that they haven’t had a full pre-season to change and mould.
I said the same with Gio and Beale and I’ll say it again for Clement - I don’t think it’s fair to overly criticise the manager until he has a full summer window and pre-season to put his own stamp on the team.

It’s not just that they’ve let us down season after season, though that is a major factor.
Almost every player has a shelf life at a club - how many players other than McGregor do Celtic still have from when Lennon was in charge? Taylor and Forrest are the only ones that spring to mind, and it’s not a coincidence that they’re Scottish. After a while, players (especially ones who aren’t from here) need a change of scenery or they lose their desire and hunger, and that is extremely apparent with our team. It’s too far gone with the fans as well now, we’re just sick of the sight of them.
Our squad management since we won 55 has been a joke tbh. Gerrard started this mentality of “keeping the band together”, Wilson and Beale continued it and it has held us back for years now. We just can’t seem to let go of players, which is mystifying considering how little they’ve won. Morelos and Kent going for nothing were the most egregious examples of that mentality.
What gives me some optimism is that Clement signed plenty of young, hungry players and got rid of plenty at Genk and Brugge, which won him leagues there, Postecoglou did the same and it won him leagues here. If the board don’t give Clement the opportunity to do the same thing here, then I give up.

A few of the comments I’ve read (not yours btw) do concern me that some people’s view of him will be coloured going into next season, which I don’t think is fair (it happens all the time but I still disagree with it).
What gives me hope is that in his first summer windows at Genk and Brugge, he overhauled the squad then went on to win the league - if that means we need to sell the likes of Butland as well to fund it, then so be it.

We have no choice, but to back him.
Every person around me at the Benfica game weren’t mad about the loss, feeling we could go and concentrate on the league, but these cunts we have think they are above spfl level.

We're falling into that same old trap again of giving dogs abuse to the manager when it should be directed towards the same group of players that have now flung 4 managers to the wolves. 
Until they leave nothing will change, honestly cannot stand the sight of them anymore, our captain and vice captain are died in the wool abject loser bastards and need shown the door by any means necessary. 
Clement has dragged us kicking and screaming to a league cup win, out of a Europa League group stage which was all but lost on arrival, and back into a title race only for the same old shitebags to do what they do best and chuck it. 
Back him.
