Didn't Clement do relatively poor when given a managerial opportunity at Derby?

 

just over 42% win ratio. Not too shabby. Play-off position was not good enough for Derby's owner.

I couldn't quite recall how good/bad he done but thought it was worse than that to be fair.

 

I think they spent over 25 million on players and the owner expected to be clear at the top.

Actually wanted Bradley to do well because of the s*** Robbie Savage was talking when he got the job. As well as that he was doing badly but I think it's a bit harsh to judge managers when they don't get a pre season with the team

 

He didn't inherit a good situation at all but he also didn't have them showing any kind of improvement. It's a shame because he is a highly-respectable manager and he'll never be given another chance in the country, while complete and utter s*** like Pardew continue getting looks.

 

Media also treated him like absolute s*** when he started and they seemed to be rooting for his failure. American, no PL experience, says the word "soccer", makes fun of his attire. All pretty pathetic tbh.

 

Regarding his performance, he stepped into a terrible situation, surely worked his bollocks off and didn't get it done, so the sacking while harsh, totally get it.

 

Did the media treat him particularly harshly? Haven't noticed anything over the top.

 

They hired a bloke on the back working in Norway & Le Havre, he did an entirely predictable atrocious job and was sacked.

Soccer AM's Brad Boobley being a prime example.

Just not Pardew, please God. Cannot be fucked seeing his face any fucking more. Can't be bothered still rooting for him to lose, week on week. He doesn't deserve a PL job.

 

I wouldn't mind tbh. I still feel cheated that he was sacked so quickly before the media professionals admitted that he has been the biggest fraud in English football for the past decade. I don't think Swansea will hire him fwiw, even they can't be that blind.

He's due a bucking of that trend. You can't just always be good for a year or less. He's getting his rep now.

Even if he did get them relegated though he'd still have the excuse of them already being down there when he arrived. I don't see any good that could come of him going to Swansea

Can't see him keeping them up.

 

No, we're lost mate. Hopefully we do stick with Clement for a decent period, 2-3 years at least and we start re-building.

 

Our defence is a shambles, that's where to start. If he does wonders though, he'll be poached.

 

I can see Monk and Leeds passing us, but I know no-one outside of Swansea will believe it, losing Monk was the right decision.

Fans know their own club best.  Pardew was bad for us and we were mocked for wanting him gone but there is scarcely one NUFC fan that would want him back.

Nobody will keep them up now imo. Clement isn't a bad shout though, assuming they stick with him when they go down.

 

Agreed. Going to be really tough to keep them up from here, but he's a good shout in Championship.

Have voted for Pep.  Not sure even the big money transfers will save him.  Prem just too tough.

 

Third place 1/2 way through and deserving the sack? Fairly certain every manager the owners hired prior to Pep was a stop-gap for Pep. He'll get time there for sure.

To be honest it only takes a win or two for Swansea and they will have a decent chance of turning it around. The problem is that is hard to see any of the bottom 3 doing that, aside from Sunderland's fuck you Premier League run they have at the end of every season.

They've put so much into Pep over the last 2-3 years - he'll be given 3 seasons to get it right. The pressure might come next season if it's the same but even then they would go again the following season.

 

Man City want Pep to be their Cruyff. To fully install this ethos they've been working on all levels in the first team
