Cam the Ram Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 If we don't make the play-offs I doubt he'll be gone but some fans would turn against him already. I dread to think how most to react if we had Dale's idea of a good season in 12th, or god forbid an ok season by finishing somewhere between 13th-17th...If he makes the same mistakes McClaren did (defence, no plan B etc.) then fans will probably get on his back really quickly because it would just make the McClaren sacking so pointless. Hopefully he keeps the nice style of football and adds a very solid defence to that. And hopefully he finds an effective plan for us if Martin was to get injured again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Van der MoodHoover Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 I am happy if he just makes us less predictable in the way we play, and explains to a certain member of the defence that if he is to keep his place in the team / club, then he needs to play on his feet and not his botty!!! I don't know - in another thread we had Boycie planting xxxx's on the new coach's derriere and here you are suggesting that our central defenders will expect to be playing on it.Lot of bloomin' fetishists on 'ere today Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dale The Ram Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 Come on after the past two seasons we're surely not in a position where we'd classify 12th as a good season? I am lowering expectations for Clement as opposed to if Steve was here but I still expect play-offs as minimum this season. We have to players to get there, so it's a question of how good our coach is. I thought top 6 was easy last season, this season with a new coach my expectations need to be rock bottom for my blood pressure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sexydadbod Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 Top 6 is a must. Top 2 should be the target. Any less and he should be sacked Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DCFC Else Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 Agreed we can't just start sacking managers left right and centre, we will end up like them lot down the road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary Teale Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 He has been brought in to take us up and will be paid very nicely to do it, he needs to at least make play offs to stay on. Its a myth that stability breeds success as people have pointed out with 2 of the 3 that went up last season. Look at all the top clubs, they change managers and expect results. Fergie kept his job but he was one of the greatest managers to ever live and to be fair in a bad season he would still will something normally, Sky Sports News HQ retweetedRob Dorsett @Dorselator 43 minutes agoSam Rush denies Clement is a gamble, and that top 6 is the minimum requirement for #dcfc; he promises he will have the resources to succeed.

That looked to me like it was the board’s decision. I think the choice of Clement is probably SR’s as well.Given this statement that top 6 is the minimum requirement then I wonder if it might not just be Clement being asked to leave at the end of next season if we manage no better than 8th.

BondJovi Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 We need to be careful with these expectations. I am of no doubt that the aim for the club is top 6, but we have to be fair and understand this is his first role as a manager/ head coach. I think automatic and PC will be regarded as a genius, top 6 will be good. As long as I see some promise, something to build with next season, i'll be happy.Our expectations on the whole were ridiculous last season.

Tombo Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 Promotion in two seasons should do it. Would not be happy going into renewal talks in his final year if we're not in the Premier League. Finish wherever you like in the top 10 this season.On the whole though, I'm quite relaxed about it and very excited to see Clement come in and see what he can do. Lets see what happens. Not as if we can affect the results positively by setting high standards. You can't set realistic higher standards for any manager/head coach than they set for themselves. People in those jobs are highly driven and ambitious people. Clem is no different. As the saying goes, he'll be his own harshest critic.I trust him to know what he's doing. If he says we need to finish 20th this season to be promoted next season, than that's the plan. I trust him with the plan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robglosta Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 What are your expectations for the new season ahead with a new coach in place?Is it promotion - top two finish?Is it influx of new players?Similar style of football like the last 2 seasons?Do you think there will be major changes?

I can’t even think of a fan who expected SM to get the sack.Posters go on about fans needing to be realistic but the fans seem fine to me. The person publicly tweeting about there being a ‘minimum expectation' of top 6 is the President and CEO of the club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
