    Well he will have his own stamp on a full pre-season, and team for next season, so let's hope with some momentum he keeps going with the same win ratio!...... <ok>

    Now his work really starts and must shine through as we cant take another season like the last couple we have been put through. I want to see Clem take control of who we bring in and who leaves and not that idiot Jenkins, I want to see the owners plough some decent money in on the playing side so we can actually buy quality and and not go bargain basement shopping for players, I want less interference from Jenkins in anything to do with the playing side and i want to see some serious bids for targets......Im expecting our pre season to be states side and for once i want to be ready for it with all the players we need in place and ready to give us a much better season than we have had in the last 3 seasons.....

    Well, Mr. Clement fully deserves his £750k bonus for keeping us up and preventing a loss in Revenue of some £65m.......

    Very confident with Clement , now that he's through the hard part . Hopefully he gets more than 7 games next year to get the team up and running well . The biggest thing he has going for him is there is not another recognizable American manager around I suppose . If he can pull off a victory against West Brom , he will have 26 points in 18 games . Over a season it would be in the 50 something point range .

    At this time im happy for him to take us forward but the Jury is on the fence with me until i see what he does when the season finishes and the first 10 games of the new season, He probably wont have Llorentte or Gylfi to rely on and i want to see how he deals with that in recruiting players especially with the contacts he has in his locker......So for the time being i will support him 100% and will do that from sitting on the fence until he really proves his worth.....

    Well considering it's been a poor season, we are only 7 points behind 8th (WBA) at the moment.

    Dai - that presupposes that PC will have the final say on targets. It could well be that the Yanks haven't learned any lessons and leave Huw with the transfer authority.....

    And this is one of the reasons the jury is still out for me......If Clem is nothing more than a yes man to Jenkins like all the rest of the managers have been then he wont be good enough with his hands tied.....Our club needs a strong manager that demands respect that he is the manager and its his head that is on the line through his own mistakes and not because of the lack of backing of Jenkins and the owners.......If i was Clem and i was not allowed to do my job to the best of my ability then i would say... pay me what im owed and would be out of the Liberty like a shot to a club that trusts and backs their manager....
