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.
