Clement had apparently worked with him before at Blackburn, and asked for him specifically. Yeah he has I think when coaching there so it makes sense to be his idea. Will have still had to be cleared by the recruitment team I’d think though, so there’s multiple people to blame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shang Posted July 15, 2019 Share Posted July 15, 2019 Not a bad move for him, going from a Championship club to a team which is playing Champions League (albeit through qualifiers). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RadioactiveWaste Posted July 15, 2019 Share Posted July 15, 2019 Good bye and good luck. No bad character, just no good footballer. probably didn't help Clement's cause that he was the one he did request personally. The likes of Camara I think we're more rush influenced.

The owner backed Clement, obviously wanting to give his manager the tools to do the job as he saw fit at the time - no different to when he backed Lampard by buying the likes of Marriott. Just that Clement, despite his previous record, proved and has gone on to re-confirm that he isn't cut out to be a front-line manager. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JuanFloEvraTheCocu'sNesta Posted July 15, 2019 Share Posted July 15, 2019 Mel is a genius. There was much wailing and gnashing of teeth when Blackman, Johnson and Butterfield were on the retained list. Two of them are gone and the impact on FFP has been reduced thanks to the extensions. Only Butterfield left to go and Mel's plan has come off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If his plan was to have a capital outlay of c£13m, and pay an annual wage outlay of say £3.5m x 3-4 years, and get very little in the way of any meaningful performance return, and then let them go for free at the end, that to me would seem to be testing the boundaries of the definition of genius just a little.

The plan was to get promotion, finances were very much secondary so it’s very much a ‘make do and mend’ but we haven’t fell foul of FFP sanctions and have raised our profile sufficiently to attract / afford the likes of Frank and Cocu. Exciting times and for me, Mel is learning the role and doing a good job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Posted July 16, 2019 Share Posted July 16, 2019 Even the best of them made poor signings. Bebe, Djemba Djemba, Kléberson. Almost £20m right there. We're just a bit new to this money spending so not used to seeing money trickle down the drain. It happens. A lot. Bet you a few more clubs would chime in with their horror signings that make Nick Blackman's fee look like change from down the sofa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Posted July 16, 2019 Share Posted July 16, 2019 Not Portuguese but they did pay £2.6m for Zach Clough who has since gone back to Bolton on loan and then Rochdale after playing 27 games for the club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
