Gary Teale Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 Its Mel's plan, his vision, his money, its up to him who he employs, I would have left Clement in the job but I didn't think we were moving forward as a club to be honest and clearly didn't the owner. Also I don't think people realise the influence Wassell has at the club, he is someone Morris and Rush have a lot of time and respect for. To be fair to him what a great chance he has, get the side to go for it if he takes us up he is the hero if not he goes back to his old job Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheron85 Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 This actually seems more reasonable than earlier in the day... Clement was trying to play efficient football (no one is pretending it was fun to watch) to try and get promoted this season where Mel wants us to play with style and build up to promotion... I take back my complaints from earlier about his madness... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toddy Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 I agree with what Mel said regarding performance and after nearly 40 games we are no better off. Not too sure Wassall is up to it, thought he found his level with the kids. Promotion is still on this season with the right man in the job...............

Alph Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 In fairness he's using the same logic as a good coach. Performance and attitude first. Get those right and results will follow. Lose track of the performances to go chasing instant results and you get short term success at best. All he's saying is that Clement was measured on performances and not results. Performance first. Plenty of managers out there chase results and play percentage stuff that will be exposed when they come up against a superior side with the quality to open them up.

The aim is to go up in the next few years. Some of you are making up your own plans in your own heads and getting angry when they're not being followed.

RamLad1884 Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 In light of today's interview one thing springs to mind: lowest point tally in premier league history. To me this sounds like mel saying that he doesn't want a team scraping into the premier league just to be wiped out again. Would rather spend 2/3 years getting to a decent standard than get up on 'efficient football' that would most likely struggle to work against the big teams Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Scarlet Pimpernel Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 He was very clear when he bought the club what the aim was. He has been very clear again today. Build on a good squad. Improve the depth of the squad, improve performances............eventually promotion will follow. PC signed up to that philosophy but hasn't delivered. How anyone can disagree is beyond me when most on here have been moaning all season about the team selection, tactics and performance of a slow, boring team.

Surely these are the things you should have both been discussing during the interview process! If you want a job, you agree exactly with the boss. When your feet are under the desk, then you have the opportunity to chip away. However, if the boss likes cats, don't bring a dog to work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Sheriff Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 Someone needs to give him an intense interview because still so many un-answered questions. Radio Derby were playing his quotes earlier which said 'paul clement will not be sacked this season period.' Wish they play it to him during an interview!

Anag Ram Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 We were all behind the big business man when he was funding the exciting transfers. We shouldn't be surprised when he makes big business decisions. It can't be fun when 'your club' plays such uninspiring football. He must have sensed the fans were not impressed and acted accordingly. Like Candy Crush it's an entertainment business and the fans will vote with their feet if they are not entertained.

What other "normal" club spends £25mill on players and come out with promotion isn't a necessity this year?? Bullcrap, you spend £6million on Johnson but say that? What player with ambition will come here? sacking the man you chose to replace SM then not replacing him will only set you back further, somethings gone on and unfortunately I don't think we'll find out the truth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toddy Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 £20 odd million spent this season does say we are not looking for promotion? No, PR spiel is there to take away any pressure from the coach - its called deflection. And I that was all well and good till large amount of cash started to be thrown around on new players and then the pressure starts from fans and the media.........
