DelBoyRodders To sack him two days before what was a huge but winnable game,
Clutching at straws. Seen so many inept performances in the past 12 months. That only way forward is to rebuild for the future.

DelBoyRodders I wonder if those responsible for sacking Clement last week have admitted in past eight days “We’ve made a big mistake - we shouldn’t have sacked Paul Clement. “
With Plan A falling through and seemingly no Plan B, the club have messed things up and have incredibly made the team weaker than they were before. Didn’t think that was possible.
To sack him two days before what was a huge but winnable game, and now leave us rudderless ahead of big away games against Rotherham and Millwall they have practically relegated us.
Total shambles!

Crowbar6753 I understand the delay in naming a new manager and the fact that it looks like we had no plan B when Castro turned us down which makes the club look a little stupid,

He doesn't work for the Chronicle, he's not a journalist......
Freelance journalist still means you’re a journalist.
He isn't that either. He works for South East Water. Try again.

He still deserved to get sacked. The failure to get Luis Castro (who they thought was a done deal) doesn't make the decision any less justified.

sandman They liked Stam, which didn't manage to save him either. Maybe it doesn't matter who they like or don't like, they just need to get on with the job they're paid to do.
leon Apparently all the players hated Clement, from what I’ve heard,
That said they hardly showered themselves in glory once he’d gone.

That's what Clement was doing, with an eye to the present.

Eaststandman Player power at many clubs invariably is disruptive and toxic, leading to poor performance and disharmony. Sound familiar? I'm not convinced that managers are always the problem, but they are always responsible!

I think Stam was too soft and our fitness suffered as a result. There needs to be a balance but a manager can’t be everyone’s mate.

Heard it was the same at Derby. Think you have to be very careful as a coach not to be too arrogant if you've never done it as a player. The players you're coaching won't respect you if you walk around like Billy Big Bollocks if you've done oxf*rd all in your playing career. Lampard and Gerrard can afford to be like that if they wish. Paul Clement cannot. I reckon he also thought the players he coached were a bit beneath him to. He has worked with the finest players in world football with Carlo Ancelloti and it's a huge downgrade to then coach Paul McShane day in and day out. Maybe the players picked up on that.
