His team selection and set up at the weekend was a huge red flag for me. Some of his recent press comments likewise.
These comments provide some optimism.

Reckon he’s not a better manager than Michael Beale, elder?You were doing well Chief until the last sentence????? WTF?
Chief I couldn’t make sense of the sentence.Reckon he’s not a better manager than Michael Beale, elder?
No worries man, I could have perhaps phrased it better! If, and it is a massive if we get the next window spot on, we will leave these woes behind. It’s time we all started trusting the process, Phil, and his team <3Chief I couldn’t make sense of the sentence.
I’m pro Phil. He is far superior to Beale. IMHO.
Exactly my point. He is now valued at 15 to 20m quid performing at that level in Scotland.O'Reilly cost them £1.5 million. He's scored 15 and has 17 assists this season so for £4.5 million in Scotland I certainly expect a match wiwinner
New set of players but still the same old bottle merchant mentality.No they haven't. Only Tavernier started today who has been at the club for more than 2 years excluding McAusland and King. With only Davies, Yilmaz and Tavernier being here for longer than 18 months.
This idea that we are still flogging the same team as we did from the Gerrard years is getting ridiculous. It's a whole new team. We already ripped the old guard up but didn't do it well enough and now need to replace the replacements.
If he values his reputation and really wants to win things he’s got to understand it won’t be possible to win consistently and build a team on solid foundations until he gets rid of a significant chunk of that squad AND replaces them with guys who have what it takes. There’s no two ways about it now, it’s massive changes this summer and the board will have to help him as much they possibly can.Finally a manager that has the balls to chase the dross from Ibrox
He’s right, I would rather he was just utterly ruthless all the time instead at times he can be to nice to the players.
Call it how it is PC, they are professional players that need told when they are rotten and praised when good.
Agreed, all the supporters that couldn't read between the lines previously have now heard exactly how he feels and maybe they'll collectively wind their necks in before calling for the managers head.The players are the problem. The manager is a proven winner and has the medals to prove it.
SJBMy biggest fear is what team he’ll actually be able to put out for the final.
It’s been allowed to prevail at Rangers far too long and multiple managers have fallen to it. I don’t know who we keep but the biggest trait they need to have is they need to play every second they are on the pitch for Rangers.That’s what these player do and is why you need to get rid of most of them.
It really comes back to recruitmentIt’s been allowed to prevail at Rangers far too long and multiple managers have fallen to it. I don’t know who we keep but the biggest trait they need to have is they need to play every second they are on the pitch for Rangers.
We need a new captain as part of this rebuild, someone that’s not going to be accepting of his team-mates routinely half arsing their performances. Tavernier has had plenty of time, he’s not the right character for what we need. He’s been part of the problem in that regard.
They should be utterly embarrassed that they routinely can’t show up for ninety minutes. Routinely getting outplayed by guys making a fraction of what they do and with facilities that are much poorer than what they have. Enoughs enough.
Once the Cup Final is over the shitebags will see the real Clement, he has had to manage these wasters to the best of his ability and it must've been extremely to not tell them how he really feels.
Big Phil doesn't strike me as the type to suffer fools gladly, the gloves will be off soon.
No it isn’t. Diomande will start over Lundstrum.SJB
Tav
Souttar
Baologun
Yilmaz
Cantwell
Sterling
Lundstrum
Silva
Dessers
Sima
This will be the starting 11
Here’s the reality for you. He can’t magic up a midfield for Hampden that can compete with that lots midfield 3. Get prepared for more of the same. No manager/club bringing in a whole new team every year can ever be successful. We can’t get all signings correct.I'm starting to worry to be honest. We need a massive rebuild with limited funds and I'm not sure he's the man to do it. We need to win the final and he will need to get every signing spot in. The first half today was absolutely horrific. We had the new manager bounce but have reverted to being extremely poor

Tav! He’s the first needing chased. This club needs a Rangers Captain badlyAt HT I was absolutely livid and having severe doubts about big Phil. I'm still cautious but such a comment makes you wonder right enough. If we can build a squad around Butland, Ridvan, Fraser, Tav (yes I know), Sterling, McAusland, McKinnon, Raskin, Cantwell, Danillo & Dessers (can't fault his passion) then we may be onto a good thing.
Goldson and Davies will be chased down the road, as they should bewe need at least one central defender this summer if Goldson and Davies stay, which they most likely will.
King will be loaned out, Souttar will remain for the home grown rule for Europe, doubt Balogun will be retained and I don't think we have anyone in the B team ready to make the step up.
we need probably 2 or 3 midfielders to replace Lundstram and Jack and that's just to start in the midfield. We badly need some of the youngsters to step up. Raskin offers nothing either and Dio started brightly then faded. Sterling seems to be a bit injury prone, especially this season.
we absolutely need more pace in the team, especially up front.
Matondo ain't the answer, anyone that is in the "a player in there" camp is kidding themselves and i don't give a shit how good that goal against them was. a one trick pony.
We need a striker as well.
I think that's what's happened. While there was still the league to play for, he's held back from criticising them too harshly in public, judging he would get better results out of being broadly supportive and encouraging of the players. Well, that didn't work, and now it's well and truly out of our hands he's emboldened to take the gloves off. The psychology of a cup final takes care of itself.Once the Cup Final is over the shitebags will see the real Clement, he has had to manage these wasters to the best of his ability and it must've been extremely to not tell them how he really feels.

A bounce that lasted around thirty games?I'm starting to worry to be honest. We need a massive rebuild with limited funds and I'm not sure he's the man to do it. We need to win the final and he will need to get every signing spot in. The first half today was absolutely horrific. We had the new manager bounce but have reverted to being extremely poor
We need someone who is knowledgeable, driven, tough and honest.I'm starting to worry to be honest. We need a massive rebuild with limited funds and I'm not sure he's the man to do it. We need to win the final and he will need to get every signing spot in.
I thought it was his best and most passionate interview he has given since becoming the manager, excellent stuff.
He's not daft. He knows what the fans think. He needs the fans onside for the final.I thought it was his best and most passionate interview he has given since becoming the manager, excellent stuff.
The scum signed match winners for less than that.A match winner for 4 million quid lol. Aye about 30 years years ago it might have done.
Yes - was O’Reilly not £1.5m?The scum signed match winners for less than that.
Being seeing a lot of knives out for Diomande recently. Don’t get it - he’s the one functional part of our midfield, an excellent prospect. Him missing the Ross County and Dundee games (with a bloody freak thumb injury!) proved fatal for the title.I've seen no change in style or a big improvement in the players. Our style of okay has looked long ball and direct. Time will tell but I'm worried
Diomande has shown nothing to suggest he's worth £4.5 million either. I was a critic of Tillman due to his work rate but ability wise he looked levels above him

Yes and was the diving kyogo not under 4m too?Yes - was O’Reilly not £1.5m?
I looked it up and it was £4.5m. We’ve paid same for less effective players. Koppen has to get it right this summer.Yes and was the diving kyogo not under 4m too?
Also with so many injuries he has done ok you can’t keep changing managers it will take time and fans need to realise this.To write off the turnaround that Clement pulled with this binfire of a squad as a new manager bounce is extremely inaccurate and pretty disrespectful tbh
I think it is fair to say there was a new manager bounce. Clement came in last week in October.A bounce that lasted around thirty games?
Is that all it was?
I hope that is the case and he has a master plan that involves a major clear out.I think he’s known all along that the players aren’t good enough but hasn’t wanted to bash them publicly because he needed them onside. He was talking up Lammers just before he got shot of him.
I think he sees what we see.
I also remember him going mental on the sidelines vs Kilmarnock when we were 3-1 up.
It’s something we didn’t see with Beale or Gio
Talking some amount of shite, how is he not the man to do it, you literally see the issue is the players not putting the effort in, the manager is at the end of his tether with those individuals and it shows in that interview - he knows how to win and manage, just needs players with the desire to put the effort in for the accolades.I'm starting to worry to be honest. We need a massive rebuild with limited funds and I'm not sure he's the man to do it. We need to win the final and he will need to get every signing spot in.

Lundstrum, Barisic, Jack, Roofe, and McLaughlin are all out of contract so that's almost half the list away already. Wright and Lawrence only have a year left on their deals and if we've any sense then we should be trying to move them on for even nominal fees rather than let them run their contracts down to leave for free in the summer. Wright's failed move to Turkey in January is hopefully and indication that we're trying to do that.There is, unfortunately, no way whatsoever that many players leave.
Especially considering we have 2 loanee spells ending too.
Open heart surgery required on this squad. I’ll judge him this time next season.
