glyn1957 Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 Listening to talk sport this morning with Alan Brazil and Kieron Dyer they touched on the championship. While talking about the top four Hull, Boro ,Burnley and Derby and who would come up via the top two they then went on about the Derby/ Fulham fixture when out of the blue Mr Brazil spoke about a rumour he had heard in football about Clement being told who to play or pick now. And in Brazils own words that it is bang out of order, now i dont know but these ex pro`s hear things we never would worrying times i think.

duncanjwitham Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 It's probably nonsense, but Bent and Weimann are both suddenly back involved... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tomsdubs Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 I listen most days on the way to work, Brazil is usually correct with what he hears. He knows a lot of people in Football, he wouldn't say anything if he thought it was a load of BS. Quite worrying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MackworthRamIsGod Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 I was saying yesterday it seems a little off that Bent and Weimann are suddenly back involved. Im happy because I want them in, but obviously Clement doesn't rate them. All of a sudden he has seen enough for them to be involved. Somehow though, I can't see Clement being so weak as to let someone dictate to him who to pick, especially if the person dictating has no experience of football or management (football manager doesn't count).

The media will always look to exploit those instances for their own purposes, usually through sensationalist cr@p like this. I'm worried by Clement's general lack of experience, and apparent stubbornness, but not for a minute would I believe that he'd put up with someone else dictating team selection to him. He'd probably walk, and then have very good grounds for constructive dismissal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's his first job so he doesn't want to start out by walking out on a club straight away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, but he's surely clued up enough to know that someone else dictating team selection is a slippery slope to inevitable failure. He wouldn't want a spectacular fail on his CV first time out of the gate either. What's going to look better? Leaving on principle or getting sacked.

Guest Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 Here we go again...the easiest way to beat Derby if you are an opposition manager, get a rumour started via Nixon, the radio, the Plummer from the training ground or whoever and wait for the implosion by Derby fans.

The people telling him who to play are our Football Manager playing expert fanbase. The people believing that Mel (for it is he) is picking the team are our Football Manager playing idiot fanbase.

RiddingsRam Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 Utter rubbish in my eyes ! I think all this has stemmed since it was leaked about him going into the dressing room after the reading game ! I think if you listen to an interviews with mm or read any there's no one rates pc more highly than he does ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CornwallRam Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 They really should do one of those behind the scenes documentary series on DCFC. As a club we are incapable of creating drama and catastrophe from the most promising of situations. It would make scintillating and amusing TV. Our tendency to create internal chaos is not a new thing either it's been happening since I first occupied a seat in B Stand as four year old in 1972. It's often frustrating, but is it why we've got such enormous support? Maybe we're just all addicted to watching the car crash happen? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

irobinson Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 Think if i was the club owner - and we haven't won in 6 - and we ain't scoring goals - might ring Mr Clement up - and ask why is our highest paid player (Bent) and possibly second highest player (Weiman) not even making the bench - wouldn't you? Sam Longson wouldn't have held back - never did us any harm in the 70s Morris owns the club! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mel Morris isn't qualified to manage a team and if the doesn't have faith in Clement's team selection then he should sack him and not tamper with the tactics. None of this is true anyway, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
