Sherwood vs Clement

[Worthingite]

Sherwood is nothing but Gus MkII - an arrogant self publicist who throws tantrums when he doesn't get his way.

Clement is relatively unheard of but for good reason - gets on, has worked hard and has proved his worth to the best managers in the world. No contest whatsoever.

I'd be interested in the results of a Malky Mackay vs Clement poll. If I wasn't at work I'd get it sorted.

Moot now, no?

The manager being a bit of a bellend is not a disqualification for the job though. In some ways, it adds to the match day entertainment

You can have a bellend as manager but his bellendery has to be in proportion to his managerial ability - and Sherwood is an almighty ****ing bellend.

Not much between the two of them but Id be inclined to believe that Clement would be a longer term appointment who would stick around for a few years as he would be grateful for being given the opportunity, whereas Sherwood could be off at the first whiff of a Premier League role as that is where he thinks he belongs.

sources tell me that our spanish style of play is going to stop in favour of more one touch faster football


Manager will be British and it wont be McKay or Clement( for above reasons)

Garcia told Tony a month ago of his intentions which has been plenty of time to think about who they want.

The club i hear have made preliminary approaches to three prospective candidates

“In England there are some really tough months in the winter, not very much light, so you’re indoors, very often in cramped spaces – it’s not a luxury that all the clubs have these massive indoor areas. And if they do, sometimes there will be two or three teams working in a space at once."

Clement would enjoy the new training round then.

Interesting. If true that would suggest they are British managers currently at other clubs.

Goals On Sunday today is, for me, prompting a small change in opinion about Sherwood. He's still a bit 'blunt' but he seems a bit more empassioned and informed than I previously thought. I guess it's harder for someone like me to make an informed opinion without seeing someone outside of the manager's role a bit more often. Easier to work out what they might be like when they get into management again and to be better able to read between the lines when their role causes them to be more discreet about their messages to the media.

I'm now in the 'could do a job' camp if he comes to us.

I honestly wouldn't mind. I'm partly judging managers on how well they can fit into a song.
Super tim could replace the super tom song. Anyone gotta Clement one yet?

So, we want to play faster than Ronaldo and Bale?

Never knew this:
The son of former Queens Park Rangers and England player Dave Clement and brother of the former West Bromwich Albion player Neil Clement, Paul chose coaching when he realised he would never make it as a top flight player.

I can't believe that result. Don't people ever learn anything from previous mistakes. I'm saying right now Clement would be a monumental mistake and I don't believe for one second Tony Bloom would go for another guy with no experience at this level of football.....Before anyone says Sherwood hasn't, he played in a championship winning side. He knows all about this division.

I don't agree, Clement has infinitely more English coaching experience than Tim 'nice but dim' Sherwood,.... his time at Fulham and Chelsea Academies would have exposed him to all manner of championship players and tactics.....add to that his work with Blackburn, Chelsea, PSG and Real....all adds up to an impressive CV to me.

posted in other thread:
i am in the clement camp. i think he is a better long term prospect - would be grateful for the job, lots of great contacts, obviously a good coach and would stick around longer than a season (unlike sherwood i suspect) if we didn't go up next year. not to mention the pre season friendly against Real madrid!!

What previous mistakes? As far as I am aware our last 2 managers have got us to the play offs,which given our budget is a huge success, the next manager will find that hard to do as the league will be really competitive next season with a lot of clubs aiming for the top six, Derby/QPR, Wigan, Wolves, Cardiff, Norwich, Fulham, Leeds( new owners with money), Reading and Forest to name a few who have a bit more money than us. Who ever is our next manager will do well to get us into the top 10.
