Philippe Clement: A job as usual for the Rangers chief after losing the shock of the Scottish Cup for the Queen’s Park | Football news
Philippe Clement looks like Rangers manager on the eve of Sunday’s trip to Hearts in the Scottish Premiership – Live on Sky Sports.
This is despite his side Losing 1-0 of the Queen’s Park’s championship clothing in Ibroxwhich means that Gers hope are almost over in the domestic silver dishes this season.
The club is 13 points behind the Celtic Scottish Prime Minister with 13 games to leavehaving already Lost of its old Rival companies in the League Cup final.
While Rangers have been in the last 16 years of the Europa LeagueMany fans invited the Belgian boss to free himself from his duties after only 16 months at the helm.
However, this seems to be common in the Rangers ahead of Sunday’s match – Live on Sky Sports – with a slander also insists Does not think about leaving the role.
What happens behind the scenes?
Perhaps the notion of business as usual should not be a surprise for supporters after The Patrick Stewart CEO revealed just a month ago that he would stand by ClementFor now.
No knee reaction followed after running from four away games without a win, although between Old’s solid victory was twisted between.
Stewart said it would be a “easy decision” to listen to the frustration of fans and a bag of Clement. However, he believes that Old Trafford Chief Proves that the constant change of management is not effective. As it was said, he warned that the results must be improved without the “cast iron guarantee” offered.
Instead of short -term corrections, Stewart made it clear that he wanted to look under the engine on Ibrox.
The Rangers saw that the Celtic Win 12 rivals are of the last 13 league titles, and the executive director has sanctioned “the root and branching overview of the entire football department,” led by external experts. The club has been in the process for a month, which is likely to last for weeks.
He wants to deal with the problems that have broken the club on and off the field in recent seasons and outside the field The new assistant Issame Charai was named a few weeks ago – There are still a lot on the list of obligations behind the scenes on Ibrox.
Boyd: Nothing to make fans optimistic
Talking about Sky Sports Newsa, former Rangers striker Kris Boyd said:
“When you look at this season, it was really poor, but that loss on the Queen’s Park is on top. Improvements can happen, but Rangers can’t lose home at Queen’s Park.
“You are watching the league table – it doesn’t lie – 13 points, after winning Celtic, he lost the league Celtica Cup final and now thrown it out of the Scottish Cup.
“We are not even in mid -February, and in the country it is almost for the Rangers. Europe has moved to me to cracks for me.
“I think a lot of people watched the Rangers on Thursday night and you can see some signs that the players used to qualify for those games, but they came on Sunday after that, they fought.
“I know that Patrick Stewart said it was not a financial decision [to avoid sacking Clement] In the past when he spoke. I think now the Rangers fans need to know that Clement is only there because of the finance, because as far as the team progress is concerned – we do not see that.
“As far as improvement is concerned, no fans of the Rangers can feel optimistic about the Philippe Clement that rangers forward.
“When you look at the big picture here and go back to the beginning of the season, James Tavernier was at one point Rangers the third choice of right back [behind Kasanwirjo and Sterling]. He didn’t know if he was coming or going. The manager told Ianis Hagi that he was not in his plans, he did not see him as his number 10.
“Nicolas Rskin was also so far away. Now these three names are in the Clement launch of the XI. One minute told them that they were not good enough, they were not part of the plans, they were being rejected.
“I understand the fact that the players are done as soon as they cross the white line, but I think it lacks confidence from players to manager and vice versa.
“Philippe Clement has already had a lot of criticism with the right, in my opinion, because 13 points behind the Kelt, outside the Scottish Cup to the Queen’s Park at home and lost the Celtic Cup League final.
“Yes, they qualified for the last 16 League of Europe, but in the country it is what – at least when I grew up – it was all and the end to the Rangers and I think that will never change.”
What did Clement said about his future?
Rangers’ Philippe Clement when asked if he would consider his position after the defeat of the Queen Park:
“No, completely not. No, I don’t expect this (talk to the board), because you can put another manager in this game- would that be different in that sense?
“So what was yesterday? Progress was achieved, the first eight in Europe and more consistency in the league and all these things, they do not change in 90 minutes.
“If you do this and thus make decisions, then you only make decisions from emotions, not from what is happening. So, now I do not expect it.
“I understand that fans are emotional now. I know a lot of fans were on my side three hours ago. I know that.
“So, now, emotions are this game and I understand it completely, because I am also angry and frustrated for this result and leaving the Cup because it was one of our big goals and our shortest chance of winning the trophy this season.
“We all know that. That’s probably one of the reasons that the team was nervous in the second half, because they wanted it so much because they know how important it is for the club.
“Of course it is unacceptable, this result. It is clear that this is unacceptable.
“It’s a retention today. It’s frustrating. I’m sorry to use that word. But that’s my feeling for now. So I’m frustrated as everyone else.”
What is the show of fans?
Ricki Neill from all about the Gers Podcasta said:
“The last time I was in heaven I wanted to Clement immediately, but then I was with Graeme Souness in early January and he basically said that we really had to stick to this manager.
“Every game I change my mind is, and maybe it’s the end now, but we still don’t know what support he gets.
“Patrick Stewart basically said in January that we will only get one or two players, which is not good enough. We need someone like Kris Boyd, we need a goal scorer and a way out. Everyone can see it and we still haven’t got it.
“Igamane was a future project, but now we have to throw it to try to get goals.
“There are now fewer and fewer people who go to Ibrox, which is not good because we also need finances.
“Definitely I think the Committee should make a decision. I heard that Kris said a few weeks ago that he thought the manager had lost the locker room, which could be true. I don’t know how you can play well in Europe and then throw out such an appearance against Queen’s Park .
