Good post and good question
Will the biard be willing to sit down and discuss I highly doubt it going by what we have seen so far the silence at times is deafening
I just don’t know if Clement is the right person what if we give him another few million to spend next transfer window and the recruitment isn’t good
Think we need to see improvement on the players he’s bright in so far to determine if he’s worthy of getting any kind of war chest next time around?
Will he still be here next time around though that depends on the results going forward from now until January I reckon?

For me clement is a good manager if u give him money to spend but when things go wrong they go wrong and his lack of managing the players by putting some in reserves ect is a worry for me.
and the act he has spent lot money on igmane and bajrami when other area in team need strenghend is also a worry.
I feel we need a manager in that can work on a budget if club has no money to spend.

Thestigno1, if you don't mind me asking mate, who would you want to replace philippe clement? ?
02 Sep 2024 18:58:16
If there’s another few million to spend it will be on players identified by Koppen. He’s good at what he does.

Good post Karen ?.

I agree with much of that. Whatever has happened in the past, we can do nothing about. But we should be able to learn from it. I think Gerard would have been backed if he had turned over Kent and Morelos at their peak value.
Really, not winning the league last year when in a great position has caused a huge amount of damage and I can't help feeling that PC's comments as we approached the run-in dented mconfidence and motivation.
I am not sure if he is the right man but he he needs to be given time. and we need to take the pain. We lost to a decent team at the weekend but not a great team and we should be able to compete. If the manager is any good, and we want to see progress, we need to AT least share the points in next three OF games.

Thestig it’s not the manager that’s recruiting it’s Koppen. The board aren’t backing him or can’t back him because of past failures. This is down to the board and constantly getting things wrong.
02 Sep 2024 19:05:37
No criticism Stig, but isn't it Koppen who is identifying players and bringing them i. So changing manager wouldn't really affect level of players identified?
02 Sep 2024 20:32:11
Surely PC gives the nod yes or no for any player signed so yes Kippen will have a brief go identify a young f/b with sell on potential but if PC doesn't like him he'd say no.

SirwalterObe, a manager who is tactically astute would be a start. What do you think?
02 Sep 2024 21:00:26
Guys I thought Koppen and clement would work together and sit down and when players identified surely clement. Has a a final say yes or no?
I’ve read looped and his predecessors have solely been in charge but I wasn’t convinced the managers have no say whatsoever? Surely they must have a sit down and look at the players together and both agree
If I’m way off it’s bizarre couldn’t work like that I would want a say in the players I manage and play that are coming in the door
If I’m wrong then why doesn’t the DOF get sacked before the manager if his signings aren’t up to scratch? and wasted clubs money ?.
02 Sep 2024 21:04:12
A well thought out post with valid points, however, the board will not sit with fans and discuss what’s actually needed and that’s investment.
02 Sep 2024 21:28:09
Sir Walter I’m not suggesting pc gets sacked
But to answer your question Asanthor really touts
Kjetil Knutsen?
If not him and where we are with money it seems available or in our case not available do we start from scratch go down the Scottish manager route
I honestly don’t know at this moment as I don’t think any of us know what is going on behind the scenes the board the manager and players are they all singing from the same hymn sheet is their any broken down relationships behind the scene
is their bickering up in the board room
I’m at a loss as to where we’re headed mate to be honest.

RayGer, i think clement should be given time and at least another 2 or 3 transfer windows to get in the squad of players he wants ?I also don't like the Idea or think it's correct that clement has nothing to do with which players comes in, with nils koppen having all that say/ power ? That doesn't sit well with me ?.
02 Sep 2024 23:47:00
OBE, managers should be signing their own players I agree with that. We would have to see progress for him to get 2 or 3 more windows. I think his best chance would be to change set up and tactics. If he continues with this number 10 set up then I feel it will cost him his job. Hope I'm wrong.

I think at most clubs the manager identifies positions and types and then is given a range of players but the recruitment team look after budgets, wages etc.
Knutsen was employed as manager at Bodo in 2018 and was 11th in first season and 2nd in the next; he then went on to win 4 out of 5. so it wasn't a quick fix and he was given time to sort it. He would need the same if he came here; there are no quick fixes for us.
