When Clement was asked to sign his new contract and accept a different budget and wage bill, his lawyers made sure that early dismissal clauses were written into his contract. If he is sacked for any other reason except gross misconduct this season then his comp is increased dramatically.
It looks like there is no chance of him being sacked.

Cool story bro.
02 Nov 2024 14:33:18
King, why would he need a new contract and not just sign a years extension then?
Give us your cool story bro?
02 Nov 2024 14:48:32
How could you possibly know what's in Phillip Clements contract?
02 Nov 2024 14:51:45
Amazing that ?.
02 Nov 2024 15:19:24
Super Ally, I don't know what's in his contract as in I don't know what the exact clauses are. I am told that he asked for written assurances that he wouldn't be sacked in the first year. Firstly is that too hard to believe and secondly, what would you do if you were in his position?
02 Nov 2024 15:33:00
Absolute nonsense. How do you know what’s in his contract?
02 Nov 2024 15:37:29
He doesn't.
02 Nov 2024 16:09:59
I don't find it hard to believe that he maybe asked not to be sacked in the first year of his contract. I would be astonished if anybody at board level or indeed the legal department at ibrox would consider signing off on that. I kniw our board haven't covered themselves in glory but it would be madness to say that you can't sack your manager without massive penalties. Also why would they give him a new contract. They woulds just left him on the old one.
02 Nov 2024 16:11:31
Once AGAIN, I don't know what in his contract and neither do anyone saying there is no such clause.
Can anyone give me a yes or no to the following questions.
If the board were to offer him a lower budget and a lower wage bill would he be wise to ask for an assurance that he wouldn't be sacked?
Why was he so sure yesterday that he won't be sacked?
02 Nov 2024 16:56:29
Rick, I don't it's a rumour!
02 Nov 2024 17:44:41
DeBoer; I agree no manager is going to accept a huge reduction on his wage budget and the culling of his most experienced players without some sort of reassurances he would be given time to build a team so in answer to your question I wouldn’t be surprised if his lawyers have got some clause written in but I have no proof of it just my thoughts.
02 Nov 2024 18:21:26
Twacoos also I have no proof either. It's a rumour on a rumour site after all. If he's still here in 2 months and we're still third then it will probably explain things.
02 Nov 2024 18:51:02
Clement wanted to resign. That’s why he was given a new contract.
02 Nov 2024 19:25:39
What if you know you’re a poor manager and would happily sign any extension with any conditions before you get found out.
02 Nov 2024 22:58:52
Sima he didn't sign an extension it's a new contract.
02 Nov 2024 22:59:26
Unbeliever I am struggling to understand what you mean.
03 Nov 2024 08:57:04
My understanding is that the goalposts were moved drastically on Clement. He arrived with promises of a certain budget with money to fund the players he wanted to bring in. My information is he went to the board with a list of players to be approved based on that budget and the board refused instead giving him his current budget and clauses in the new contract he signed in the summer to protect him from the current situation.
03 Nov 2024 13:05:36
There are lots of things wrong with the way we are playing but after the announcement this week re our financial position there is no doubt, Clement has been hung out to dry by the board . They have obviously moved the goal posts from what he was promised when he joined mid season, reneged on promises re budgets and then hidden away so that he has been left to take the flak . The contract extension now makes sense if they wanted him to stay with all this going on . Bennetts presser just before he retired dropped a few clues to this . What I don`t understand is Gilligan saying he had seen the accounts and they were strong and there was money to spend in January. We`ve heard that before and it never happened. Not supporting Clement but its hard to see how any decent manager would do any better under these circumstances . Gross mismanagement by both boards.

Is there a sanity Claus.
03 Nov 2024 21:22:00
Sanity Claus? more chance with Santa Claus.
04 Nov 2024 20:47:59
Yup de boer he's been gave some sort of assurances mate, that's for sure mate.
