Paul Clement - dark horse

[Giraffe]

I see he is listed on the betting odds and didn't know the name.

Englishman working for Real Madrid, up and coming coach, speaks Spanish, ticks a lot of boxes if Tim Sherwood isn't interested.

what is it with the spanish thing ...it's all very well until play off time whence they turn into cardboard cut outs of themselves...calde excepted.

And this comment from the Daily Mail:


Clement has previously acknowledged he would like to try his hand at management, even if that means dropping down football's pyramid.

"I'm getting more and more experience and if I get an opportunity at the top level, great," Clement recently told the Daily Mail.

"But most managers don't start there and I can't imagine there'd be many better feelings than taking a team up from the Championship."

If Tony wishes to continue playjng the way we do he could be in the running most of the others mentioned will change our style of play which means bringing in more players and more expense.

Chelsea academy coach previously. Like the look of that. Pick up some more of their 'unwanted' youngsters please

Are you ready for

(ready for)

A perfect storm

[ees complicated no?]

Do we really want to try yet another 'up and coming' manager

Mind you they're the only types that will be interested, as it's finally been said that they wont have a say in what players they can buy, but on what will be given to them.

Ticks a lot of boxes.

Would love this .

I said on one of the other threads that i like the sound of this chap. Malky spent loads of money to get Cardiff up, and his record at Watford wasn't actually that great. Sherwood doesn't inspire me, whereas Clement does. So its a yes from me.

 

[willyfantastic]

i'd be very happy if we got him

 

[Stat Brother]

Was he with Fulham at the same time as David Burke, assuming I've remember rightly that DB spent time at Fulham.

Anyhoo all pretty academic as Clem is clearly an Ancelotti man.

I'll take one of them if it means the other one is worth millions ala Bridcutt and Ince

Currently 16-1 with Coral.

I would expect that to move lower quite quickly so worth a flutter now.

 

[James Bond's body double]

Be a good choice I think, but what do I know.

 

[Icy Gull]

Ticks a lot of boxes.

Doubt we'd tick them for him though

 

[TopCat]

Hasn't he been linked to Norwich job also as has connections there?

Working at Real Madrid will mean he is used to working to a tight budget!!
