If Clement did go then all we'd get to replace him would be another failed manager or at best unknown dross matching the caliber of our anemic squad to replace him.
My reasoning is that no manager even one with only half decent credentials, would risk blotting his career by coming here because our current squad is water weak and to squeeze a winning season out of them would be very difficult. It wold be made even harder because I doubt our illustrious owners will be spending a penny come January so he wont be getting a transfer budget adequate enough to buy sufficient quality into the squad to firm it up and make it competitive.
So, it is with heavy heart I say that, I think we're stuck with Clement and I have a huge issue with him.
My issue is that Clement's priority is his side projects and not the success of the club. He is more concerned with the development of players for the benefit of other clubs; Renato Sanchez for FC Bayern Munich and Tammy Abraham for Chelsea AFC.
That's bad enough but it gets worse. Clement seems to be gambling with his success, the success of the team and of our club by pinning his hope on a dream that these two players, who their mother clubs couldn't train sufficiently to be considered starters, will come good for us this season and save us from relegation.
In my view the owners are complicit in our demise if the don't sack Clement tomorrow if we lose to Bournemouth.
If the owners truly want to stay in the prem then they must invest in the squad come January. For that to go well the owners have to have a manager in place who knows what the squad needs to turn it from an under performing bunch of frightened players into a cohesive, solid, competitive group of men up for the fight. Whoever is in charge come January he need to players or a single player who is a leader. It doesn't matter if he's a skillful AM to get us scoring or a dog of a CB or DM to stop us conceding, what matters is that he is a leader who our squad of support players will follow, they will improve no end, they will respond and the team and results will be the better for it.
Thing is we need a realist for a manager to make that happen but currently we are stuck with a dreamer. Paul Clement is living in a fantasy football world where ghosts and fairies actually exist. He exists in a dream world where a couple of kids, not good enough to play for their mother clubs are transformed into a couple of worldies by his guru like man management abilities and magical coaching talent. Unfortunately for us the reality of Clement fantasy is that he and his pets have dragged us down to their level and we currently flounder second from bottom. We've been here before but this time is different because we're not staring into the dark abyss, this time we're actually falling into it. Clement's got to wake up before we've fallen too far to climb out.
