Got to be given every chance but I am underwhelmed. Would have preferred someone like Hasenhuttl. 

Fuck off 😂

Welcome Mr Clement. The task is very simple win trophies and please entertain us in the process. 

I'm at the point that I couldn't give a fuck if we are entertaining, just want to win trophies again.

The universe has some mental timing, Muscat's team just lost their game and got put out the J league cup.

Yeah few people have said this now, I'd seen an article that said they had worked together and didn't bother checking it out tbf 🤣

Looks like Dessers (and Hagi) joined Genk just after Clement left for Brugges

Feels like the first proper experienced, successful manager appointed with no ties to the club in decades.

Quite excited to get a fresh approach. 

[Bears r us 30,798]

Obviously any managerial appointment can go wrong, but for what seems the first time in years the board have gone about this in the correct manner.

Welcome Philippe, I really hope you can make our team successful once again.

A fresh set of eyes with zero loyalty to any player in this squad, Hope he kicks arse tomorrow morning and dismantles the clique once and for all.

You'd rather the guy that recorded not one but two 9-0 defeats at the same club?

Can't just look at two games. Did very well there, good style of football and it only declined when he wasn't backed and they went with an ultra youth focus, getting rid of experience; look what happened when he left...

Also managed in the Bundesliga, finishing second. His pedigree is better than Clement's and he is available, but it's done now and hopefully Clement can hit the ground running, but imo it's far more of a gamble than Hasenhuttl would have been.

Good luck working with this Shitshow set up. Problems lie in the boardroom.

[GlasgowRangers1983 461]

Really happy with this appointment 🇬🇧 think it’s the correct person. If his past record is anything to go by we be in a good place again soon. Biggest test the now is can he get a tune out of the existing squad? The board must of made some form of promises for budgets etc I hope that he gets the opportunity to bring his own staff and that he also looks to bring through some youths into our set up. 
 

We need to give him the time needed to fix the mess. Took Gent from something like 10th to winning the league that’s impressive. He obviously has a plan and system that works now give him the time to implement it.

Wanted Muscat but definitely still happy with Clement. Feels like a proper manager and our first proper step up since Walter.

Having a good style of football and managing in the Bundesliga isn't a better pedigree for us than someone who has won 3 titles with 2 clubs in a better league than we play in.

Looking forward to Saturday always exciting at the start of a new era hopefully this is the start of a period of success

I think this on paper is a great appointment. My reservations (or maybe better phrase would be challenges) for the board are finances and that Clement has never handled recruitment so I still think we need a DoF. But he is a proper manager and tactician with a track record of trophies. He is what we’ve been crying out for and I’m sure he can improve the players. Onwards and upwards.

Will need time and patience from us, Beales set us back. Wouldn’t disagree with anyone if they said the leagues done. Good chance to win a cup and gives him the rest of the season as a free hit. Gives him a chance to see where he thinks we need to change.  

I agree with you but I hope we're wrong and he smashes the rest of the season!

Just been to Morrisons and bought some Belgian buns to celebrate.

I'm happy with this appointment, at least we have finally gone for a guy with a bit of pedigree and experience behind him
