Regardless of your thoughts on him absolutely everyone needs to get behind him as this is clearly a long term project. I'm glad we've got a manager who has a full view of the actual situation who wants to rebuild the club long term.

B1872 21,893 Posted August 2 Share Posted August 2 Not sure how I feel about this tbh! I love the gaffer but it looks like we are backing ourself into a corner if things don’t go well. Then if we do sack him the payoff will be ridiculously high and no doubt impact our transfers for the next manager. However I do trust him more than the board in terms of getting on field decisions correct. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

.Williamson. 87,117 Posted August 2 Share Posted August 2 Seems quite a weird one. Surely unless we manage to miraculously do well this season it’ll just mean a larger termination fee to get rid of him?

It's up to them to deliver on the park or, at the very worst, show strong signs of progress. The board has to back the manager further now as well. But, my initial reaction is that this seems like a bizarre extension. HG5, AlbertzLoyalRSC and Rangers_no1 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suppose, but as others have alluded to above, maybe he still has enough to prove to say the remaining 3 was plenty? Can’t believe we gave him 4 years straight off the bat, but maybe that was what it took to get him in the first place? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sceptic in me thinks that's Clements view of it also, a case of if you want me to deal with all the shite then cough up a bigger wage/contract Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amato 3,094 Posted August 2 Share Posted August 2 I think this reinforces the feeling that we don't actually expect to win much this year. A transition year and extending Clement's contract is a show of faith in the manager that he's the long term solution, and a way of signalling to the support that there's no point calling for him to be sacked if/when we're trailing in the league this year. plymouthranger and Sea Bear 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
