Roy Hobbs 2,907 Posted August 2 Share Posted August 2 2 minutes ago, esquire8 said: Because he was asked the question about it. A question that the support want answered but now has delayed that until during the season. I just have a feeling about it. It was an interview wholly under the club's control.

Lovenkraaands 142 Posted August 2 Share Posted August 2 9 minutes ago, DeanMK said: This feels more like a statement from the board tbh. I think they've felt the rise in criticism being aimed toward Clement and this is their way of saying they won't endorse it. You’re giving this board far more credit than they’ve earned or are due. harryrfc and DeanMK 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

esquire8 45,128 Posted August 2 Share Posted August 2 Just now, Roy Hobbs said: It was an interview wholly under the club's control. And if they missed put a question on the CEO then it would've created another void. It's constant holding statements with no clear plan. I'm just saying I wouldn't be shocked at all of he ended up being executive chairman permanently without any sort of announcement. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BroonBear 713 Posted August 2 Share Posted August 2 4 minutes ago, nik2402 said: Don’t really see the point given he had 3 years on his current contract. A 3 year contract is plenty in terms of stability so that argument makes no sense. I agree 100%. The question i think needs asked is "why was the extension offered?". As you pointed out, 3 years left on a contract is long enough to start building towards stability in the club regarding a manager. So it can't be to give PC time to build his team and put over his philosophy. PC has made a couple of statements regarding our budget etc, almost highlighting what he was told when signing, isn't actually available to him. Even if this year is a right off, PC would still have 2 more to get his players in and play his style. With the Ibrox issue, large wage bill and players signed who have offered very little to the club, why have our board not only thought about but approached PC with a contract extension.

gmcf 35,378 Posted August 2 Share Posted August 2 Quite happy with this . He's a good manager and proved that at various clubs . He obviously sees potential here . It'll also give reassurance to any possible targets that there's stability at the club. Blue Skies 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

frenv 2,177 Posted August 2 Share Posted August 2 In theory, I'm all for it if it helps dispel media hearsay and rumors of him not being happy or looking to leave, but he needs to be backed in terms of forcing players out of the door with (suitable) replacements being brought in. Having a stadium would be nice too. I'd like to think that he's confident this will happen, even if not immediately, otherwise surely he wouldn't have signed?

TEFTONG 61,236 Posted August 2 Share Posted August 2 I'm delighted that we are going to stick with Big Phil. However the cynic in me worries that he has taken advantage of our Board shambles with no CEO or proper Finance management and threatened to leave unless he got an improved deal.

Marky. 7,107 Posted August 2 Share Posted August 2 36 minutes ago, Albertz85 said: That spell up to March or so when it unfolded got enough confidence in Clement. He got really unlucky with injuries which I believe hampered us. However he needs the backing to build his own team and assistance in fixing the fragility of our team injuries wise (some of which are down to wild challenges in scotland which is a wider issue). For sure bizarre timing for a contract renewal. I agree mate. He was tasked with seeing us over the line with a half-fit squad, one striker, a rotating midfield of immobile glassworks, and a squad of players he had no belief in. It's no wonder it ended the way it did, but I take comfort in what he was able to do with some of those players in the early days. Now, with a good recruitment strategy (fingers crossed) and his ideas to be embedded in, we need to trust him for the longer term. That being said, this pre-season has been so uninspiring that I think he's already lost a lot of faith - through little fault of his own.

ShaneRalfRoss 344 Posted August 2 Share Posted August 2 I would have waited till end of the season to even consider giving him new contract. He had good start by winning a cup but then fucked up the league . He has long way to prove himself . Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoplandRoad83 3,612 Posted August 2 Share Posted August 2 This feels a little bit like the board acknowledging they have put him in a bad position and trying to get him onside/give support. We really need to have some continuity though, but in football that only works if we see the progress needed. Blue Skies 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KeyserSoze 15,262 Posted August 2 Share Posted August 2 Clearly here for the transformation of this great club. He’s committed to us which is fantastic despite all the faux rage about “expectations being different”. Now sort your system out, play to our strengths and tell Scott Wright to fuck off. We as a fan base need to see progression/improvements over time with this squad. Otherwise I’m getting my pitchfork out the cupboard. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Specky Forum Organiser 69,473 Posted August 2 Share Posted August 2 20 minutes ago, Lovenkraaands said: This is a very positive and optimistic take on the situation which I admire, but can’t align with. We’re so financially unstable that we’re operating a one-in, one-out transfer policy. While most big clubs are heading to the US or Asia to exploit commercial opportunities, we went to the Netherlands. Yet, we’ve offered a contract extension and inevitably a pay increase to a manager who not only is the Jury very much still out on, but who had three years remaining on his existing deal? Clement‘s comments two weeks ago which implied he had been mis-sold the landscape are now appearing very timely. Out of all the things there are to be angry about, this really isn't one of them. frenv 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
