He had a decent enough record at Monaco to be fair, and managed in European competitions. I appreciate one can be sniffy about the French league, but we're talking about coming into a championship club staring down the barrel of League One.


I think it is probably hard to draw comparisons between the two leagues and two teams to be honest. Managing a better team in a division and having a good record doesn't always follow to a team struggling in a very competitive division. The Championship is relentless (alright, Mark) and we are now going into a really intense period of games. He needs to instantly find a way to pick up points with a squad at the bottom of the league devoid of ideas and confidence.

Maybe, he will hit the ground running and it works for them. It will be funnier for us if it doesn't.

Sandwiched between two managers with better records at Monaco though which may be relevant.

Might not turn out to be a bad appointment but certainly not one to get us worried I shouldn't think. Not sure most of their troubles are down to the manager anyway in fairness.

No idea when I began here, was a very long time ago. Previously known as Spirit_of_81. Love cheese, hate the colour of it, this is why it requires some blue in it.

He really shouldn't talk about hairlines.



If nightclub bouncer lookalike Clement sees the Dribble Norwich City Gimps he might just change his mind, depending on his level of desperation for a job.

Maybe Norwich has always been his dream job. After all, they did beat Bayern Munich once.

I’m a bit surprised they didn’t opt for oily Russell Martin.

Norwich fans seems to think it’s a bit of a coup.


Im not too surprised to be honest. Rangers are quite high profile to I'd expect a budgie fan to put a decent spin on it. I dont think its a bad appointment tbh - they are going to struggle to get someone higher up the food chain than him.

Terribly disappointed they didn't opt for Russell Martin.

His insistence on playing his brand of football, regardless of results, coupled with the Budgies current squad (who I dont think could play that style of football) would have been awesome to witness as a town fan!

Had to laugh at one of their comments based on their love of their bayern victory


" He beat PSG once"


I mean, close the door and find the pen.


When a Club's highpoint in European competition is "We beat Bayern Munich once", beating PSG would be understandably worthy of a 30th year anniversary bus parade.

I can't recal any candidate for a vacant Town manager job turning us down. This is nit the first time would- be managers turning them down. The last one I seem to remember was the current Coventry manager!


Didn't Lampard turn us down during the Evans years, due to not being offered a big enough war chest?

Weird tick box for Mr. Reeve there. I don't think I'd have any of big, bald OR Belgian on my list, and I suspect Mr. Reeve's only listing those after the event.

I know you don't judge a book by its cover, but just saw a pic of him and guessing his assistant, reminded me of phil and grant. All i can imagine is them acting like we heard paul hirst and his best mate when they went after the likes of bart etc. they dont seem the arm over the shoulder type.

Am i getting that vibe completely wrong, or is known for being quite a fierce character, i know absolutely nothing about him

Ahh, the culture can be very successful if you've got driven characters with big bucks ala sir alex, but really does depend on the thickness of skins of your players.

I was hoping he would have a better offer and could say 'No' to Nodge, the under performance at Rangers was mainly due to the big time Charlie attitude of the players. Clement is a decent enough manager. That being said, the problems may be the other way around with the young and inexperienced (in the main) state of the Nodge squad. He has the biggest coaching challenge of his career yet but I expect he can keep them up at least.

So the upside if we miss out on promotion is the chance to win a couple of derby games next season.
