Paul Clement

[Dr. Winston]

Will never forgive him for the way he sent the team out to play at the start of the 17-18 season. Trying to scrape a point against teams like Brighton, Watford and Newcastle, none of whom were up to much at the time.

Another three or four points in that period would probably have kept us up.

He recommend Renato Sanches who we signed on loan nuff said,

Never forget this classic.

He wouldn’t play Tammy Abraham, to let him bed in.

I don't think Clement was anywhere near as bad as some of the coaches we had post-Laudrup. Bradley and Carvalhal were far worse. I think he was better than Monk and Guidolin as well.

When he first came he was astute enough to realise that our best two players were Siggy and Llorente, something that seemed to escape Bradley and Guidolin. He also reinstated Leon, who'd previously been axed. He built a very effective game plan around the two star men and in the end we stayed up with relative ease.

The problem he had is he came at a time where the new owners were bedding in and decided to experiment with the concept of flogging our best players and replacing them with crap. His game plan fell apart that summer. He didn't handle it very well, and in the end deserved the sack, but I still think he was shafted really. Felt a bit sorry for him.

Never forget this classic.

He was away with the fairies 90% of the time when he was here, talented player, but really struggled to put his game together.

 

[Darran]

Clement was a lovely fella but a rubbish manager.
It must have been horrific for him as a child too.

Felt more sorry for Guidolin who knew his football. We’d just beaten Liverpool but the clueless owners had already decided to employ Bobbly Bradley.

I watch that from time to time, just to cheer me up FAF.

^This, that still p!$$es me off to this day.

The fact that our owners at the time showed their class by sacking him by email on his birthday summed them up in their entirety

And then held a press conference with the new manager at the hotel he was staying at

 

[SeaJack]

Those Godforsaken owners treated everyone with utter contempt, from the fans and managers, to the then Trust, who were shafted the most.

Yeah and then The Trust shafted their members.

 

[SeaJack]

That isn’t lost on me either. I think the word that best describes what the future Trust board was and still is, is turncoats.

 

[bakajack]

Sometimes I wonder if there is ever a possibility that the Trust could be reformed and actually made fit for purpose and actually work well with the new ownership who do indeed seem to be a different prospect to the old owners
