    Listened to the press conference there, man, do we have a manager at long last. Does not take fools (press} gladly.
    Answering stupid questions with "next question please" and "that's in-house and stays in-house" certainly puts them in their place.
    I think he's the manager for me. Long may it continue.

    It's somewhat unfair for us to judge given that we don't know the ins and outs, but his issues with fitness and the players' injury record really does raise questions as to what the hell has been going on the past couple of seasons.
    Also, we absolutely need to back this guy. If we hit a bad spell, or lose out on some trophies, everyone will be clamouring for another managerial change but that's not going to fix things. The leaders in this squad have went through multiple managers now, and managed to get the last two sacked. Clement's appointment wasn't a punt on a rookie like Gerrard or Beale. We know for a fact he can win titles. Give him the support he needs and give him time to build a team - if that takes longer than a season then so be it. I'm confident he'll get us to where we need to be.

    There seemed to be talk that pre-season after the Europa final hadn’t been all that intense (for good reason, if true, having gone as deep into that season as we possibly could and resulting risk of burning players out).
    All the talk this pre-season seemed to be about fitness and ‘getting minutes into legs’, at the expense of settling any style, patterns & getting the new players integrated.
    So we end up with a squad with questionable fitness and the look of a pub team that met 5 new players in the car park.
    Clement seems to have identified the problems quickly enough and has managed some decent results while beginning to address them.
    Just hope the injury tide starts to turn soon, so he’s got the resource to continue getting results, while addressing the underlying issues.

    I love his reaction to some questions and how he doesn't pussyfoot around the media, seems like he is clued in the players that are underachieving  and what's going wrong, I'm fully on the Clement train.

    It’s refreshing to see a press conference that isn’t all pally nonsense with the media. No bridge building, just honesty and no waffling. He calls the nonsense questions out for what they are. The theme over a few of his press conferences seems to be a real frustration with the fitness and conditioning by of the squad which is telling.

    I’d say that press conference is pretty damning in regards to our recent managers.. More so by what he didn’t explicitly say than what he actually said.
    There is something about this guy that makes me think we are in VERY good hands.
    There might just be too little for him to work with to achieve real results this season but I expect us to be an entirely different proposition next season.
    You wouldn’t want to mess with him. He has a way about him that reminds me so much of Walter Smith…plus the accent makes him sound like a member of the Stasi.
