Madina 4,230 Posted August 2 Share Posted August 2 Suprising. It's not exactly like he set the heather alight and won us the quadruple. Can only hope if things go tits up that he walks away rather than us being lumbered with paying his wage for years. BlueAvenger 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s an additional twelve months that will be reflected in any redundancy pay he’s owed. I reiterate; a bizarre move, but unsurprising.

Sea Bear 285 Posted August 2 Share Posted August 2 To me it’s in optics thing as well, others have stated about stability. But Bennet made reference to the revolving door we have had with managers and the need to stop. There we go a statement has been made by both the manager and club. we were never going to be able to buy our way out of the current hole. 55 was the time to invest wisely and push on, but another false dawn. Rather than let it fester everybody knows this season is going to be tough, it will be time for the Gaffer to show us something of the direction we are going. take it the interview in the DR is a transcript from RTV?

Sea Bear 285 Posted August 2 Share Posted August 2 Think the most telling thing will be how injuries affect us this year, as he supposedly identified the issues, if that has been corrected that’s a win straight away. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were protected. Of all the issues we’re facing right now, adding a fourth year on to an underwhelming managers three year deal is/was not high up in the list of priorities. cascadeshrimp and The Specky Forum Organiser 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Somemightsay7 3,090 Posted August 2 Share Posted August 2 I think it makes sense. We've tried the revolving door of short term managers and it hasn't worked. We're now focused on putting together a younger team and building for the future, so it makes sense we make clear to the team, manager and fans that this is a longer term project and a proper rebuild. I know people will say 'but he already had 3 years left', but if we have a poor first 3 months of the season the rumours of him being sacked would be huge. This basically avoids the possibility of that happening. It also makes clear to the players that the manager is the one with the power and he's going nowhere, so if they don't put the effort in they're the ones that will be gone, not him.

Polo 1,453 Posted August 2 Share Posted August 2 I’m ok with this. I think Clement is a winner and I’m happy for him to be given time. Hopefully he can also get a few players in which fit in to however he wants us to play rather than trying to make the best of the pish he was left with by Beale.
