Paul Clement out of our league? 23:03 - Dec 20 with 8471 viewsA90sblue

Is Paul Clement to good for us if we are looking for a manager at the end of the season?
Great c.v as an assistant so Is a mid table championship club to much of a drop?
Personally would love to give him a 5 year contract and the first couple of seasons as a free pass, even if we do flirt with relegation to put his philosophy and stamp on our team and bring our youngsters through.

Nope — and I'd not be fussed about taking him. This was a really poor time to sack him as the fault at Swansea lies above him, but I don't think anyone can say — hand on heart — that they know how good a manager he is.

The creation of the January transfer window has contributed hugely to making December a key month for managerial sackings so that the new bloke can bring in players he wants. There will be more.

Yep. In Clement's case it is harsh because he had his two best players sold towards the end of the last window and had to replace them with rubbish. I don't happen to think he is particularly good but he's not had a chance.

He makes Mick look like Jurgen Klopp. His philosophy is to park the bus, concentrate solely on defensive shape off the ball and not play youngsters.

No thanks.

Nah. He can get a free pass for Swansea seeing as they're a club on the slide and have been for a bit. At Derby he didn't do as well as either McClaren or Rowett.

Too good for us? Whilst I feel sorry for him as Swansea are now clearly milking the riches of the PL for their owners and not interested in investing in the squad, I really think he is proving that he is probably a great number two, rather than head honcho.

Also, as Mullet allured to yesterday, if Evans continues to run the club as he has done, then what has Clement done that makes you think he could work successfully under those constraints?

Unfortunately given where we are with our owner, Mick is the best man for the job.

So what your saying is he cannot operate on a tight budget and inspire the players he has

He's making mick look as if he has spent hundreds of millions and still has no defence?

Having a great CV as an assistant is no guarantee of being a good manager. In fact, often the opposite.

Indeed, Steve McClaren comes to mind, along with Brian Kidd.

No manager is too good for Ipswich Town FC.
That however, is just the beginning of the question

Maybe, maybe not - but I'm not sure who could do a lot with the current bunch. They've got nothing.

What has he actually done to deserve his reputation? As a manager I mean. He is massively overrated and I'd be disappointed if he came here.

He seems to be one of those names that fans get stuck in their head and mention forever despite their actual record.

We still need to sign Chris Burke though...

Truly impaired.

We're far too good for him - wouldn't want him anywhere near us.

Give him five years we'd be 2022/23 midtable league 1. Awful ' manager '.

I bet it will be the way he speaks. He's got a bit of the foreign manager attitude about him which seems to appeal to football fans.

A bit although he can actually be pretty prickly & abrupt. I think (and thought at the time) his abilities were overstated last season but at the same time think he deserved January.

Not so.
And, an aspiring owner would look to secure the best - in any industry.
To do less than that means success is further away.
