paultheroyal Clement wants to be his own man and make this work. He ain’t going anywhere regardless of how big or not Napoli are.

3pointsTiagoIlori3points Honourable exit for him. I think it’ll be a win-win. Agree with Wazzock, just didn’t see anything in those 8 games where I thought he was a big improvement on Stam, Clarke, Adkins. In for Nigel Clough though
I don’t think it’s fair to judge a manager that came in late in the season. Unless he does something significant either way, I think we should reserve any form of judgement until Christmas.
i didn't like his persona or the way he set the team up so I've already made my judgement I'm afraid. For example, if he'd managed to get Aluko to stay out wide and play as a proper winger or wide forward then I'd have seen that as some progress. it just felt very much "more of the same".
royalp-we The last 6 weeks was all about getting over the line. Why would he overthrow the whole philosophy and get players playing completely differently? 38 games in to a season would not be a good time to change things drastically.

Not sure getting Aluko to stay wider would have required a 'drastic overthrow of philosophy'? Pretty sure Clement must have given instructions and directives to players, both as a team and individually(?)
Anyway, it raises a point. We've had two managers now who haven't got Aluko to stay wide, so contrary to what we think in here, maybe that's not been the plan for him anyway? If it is, and he's been told, and yet he's just not doing it, they could sub him off at half-time? So, I'm starting to think they haven't really wanted him out wide, or at least not to the extent that we do.

To be fair I'd prefer him leave now rather than 6 months into the season - if he leaves now, we'll get nice compensation and we have enough time to bring in a replacement before the players return to training. I think it's win win.
At same time I totally don't expect this to happen - he'll be more eager to prove himself as a manager than be assistant manager.

Only one Trevor Morley He publically congratulated him on twitter on his appointment (and he isn't prolific on twitter). I think if something was on in the offing he wouldn't have said anything on twitter.....
