Clement inevitable meltdown...

[Jimmy Floyd Rabbit]

Being at 'big clubs' means jack diddly squat!!

Just look back to our amazing team of 2 years ago and our 5 Champions League winners!! Dog shite!

[Harryboy]

He might just turn out exactly what he his a number2

[West London is Rss]

Not fussed personally.

Unproven as a manager. Derby in no better position than us.

Derby in no better position than us? - Cant agree with that.

We have about 8 first team players on our books as it stands......

Erm management wise

OK sorry... Didnt get that from your post.

I also think coaching at the best clubs in the world does mean something... Coaching is different to playing.
He will have drawn an awful lot of experience from the clubs he has been at and coaching skill... Look at Karanka @ Boro now.
Derby wanted a top coach and a top coach is what they have got to fit their mold - Totally different from Bowswinga joining us at the end of his playing career.

Lost Clement to Derby and Barton to leads

TYPO Auto-correct LEEDS;

Really making this division hard .....

[bakes8]

Clement unproven and Barton a liability.

Btw... We've lost neither.

[imforeverqpr]

The difference between Ramsey and Clement is

Clement has achieved much more and at a higher level as a number 2 but as yet has proved nothing in the number 1 role.

Whereas Ramsey has a deserved reputation as being a good coach but has proved he is total dogs poo as a number 1.

I know which one I would rather have. No brainer.

Exactly

[imforeverqpr]

Ramsey a liability.. Barton proven in Championship

[Ginger Ninja]

How the hell have we lost Clement? We never bloody well had him. Clement is no more experienced or proven than Ramsey is. Fact.

[Lunar Jetman]

Btw... We've lost neither.

Exactly. We released Barton or if you prefer, didn't offer him a new contract and we were never anywhere near Clement.

Get upset if you really want to because you prefer one unproven coach over another or because we didn't resign a bloke who keeps getting himself sent off at crucial moments, but you need to get the facts right before you have a meltdown...

EDIT: This was in response to imforeverqpr's thread, not the merged one...

[Jeems]

Not in the least bit bothered. Kinda glad we didnt go for him, I can imagine the media circus surrounding us if he'd joined. Another ex Champions League winner. Lets just back CR now.

[Kevin Mcleod]

Will be a brilliant battle to see who got their manager decision correct. Both will build their own team and both are starting afresh. Still fancy us to do better than derby, dont know why, just do.

[Shepherds Mush]

Should have kept McClaren IMO

Unproven manager on £1m a year contract for 3 years as well !!?

[Toninho]

Yes with managers who are known for winning things everywhere they have gone at clubs that win things regardless of who the manager is!! lets not kid ourselves that the success at Chelsea and Madrid etc is down to him plus he has been working with the likes of Bale, Ronaldo, Terry and Lampard etc last time i checked we never had any players of the ilk

The book is out on him just as much as it is for Ramsey. Both could be spectacular disasters just as easy as they could be successful

we've not had players of that ilk, says who??

Bale = Traore, Ronaldo = SWP, Terry = Hill, Lampard = Taarabt.
