Probably the biggest appointment in our history. I'm both excited and apprehensive.I'm looking forward to his man management. He strikes me as someone who won't stand for laziness and complacency. He will demand things are done his way and won't be afraid to make changes.
Apparently part of his contract negotiations were based around him getting long term assurances on everything from transfer budget to controlling players eating habits.
The guy is a proven winner. I can't wait to see what he does here.
What offers has he turned down?Listen, this man knows exactly what he’s inherited and believes he can turn it around. He has turned down very lucrative offers from elsewhere and wants to be with us. Do I have faith in him? Damn right I do!
There were reports the Saudis were in for himWhat offers has he turned down?
It's been reported two Saudi clubs. He was even quoted as saying something along the lines of 'it will be a football and whats best for my family decision'. This was before we were in for him.What offers has he turned down?
See that sounds to me like a continuation of what we’ve been doing since Gerrard."His style of play is predominantly a possession-based game but he likes his sides to play a high line and looks to get in behind and draw the opposition out to create that space in behind"
So, Monaco can vary their attacks and final third entries quite a lot but some patterns are clear — they like to use width a lot, they cross a lot, off-the-ball movement to manipulate the opposition is paramount, and they create lots of 2v1s out wide versus the opposition’s full-back and they’re comfortable both crossing early, from a wider and deeper position and later, from a more advanced and central position, though different players are typically responsible for those different types of crosses.
Defending high
Monaco ended the 2021/22 campaign with the third-lowest PPDA in France’s top-flight (9.84), along with having engaged in the third-most defensive duels (68.46 per 90). This is indicative of their aggressive and proactive defensive style, designed to win the ball back high and close to the opposition’s goal when possible. In doing so, they can create excellent opportunities to hit the opposition quickly while in transition — always a highly-valuable goalscoring opportunity.
Conclusion
To conclude this tactical analysis piece, Monaco’s middle line of midfielders and full-backs were crucial for their incredible run of form to end the season, with the full-backs, in particular, coming in clutch in an underrated, crucial role in pretty much every phase of play.

I wouldn’t go that far but let’s get behind the guy and start a fresh and let’s hope for the start of something special.Probably the biggest appointment in our history. I'm both excited and apprehensive.
He says he’ll need time, well good luck with that
He does have an air of authority that we have lacked since Gerrard IMO, and that’s what’s required to get a tune out of this group of players.I'm looking forward to his man management. He strikes me as someone who won't stand for laziness and complacency. He will demand things are done his way and won't be afraid to make changes.
Apparently part of his contract negotiations were based around him getting long term assurances on everything from transfer budget to controlling players eating habits.

Thanks, good to hear that he had options and saw us as the best one. Good luck to him, for all our sanity we really need this to work out.It's been reported two Saudi clubs. He was even quoted as saying something along the lines of 'it will be a football and whats best for my family decision'. This was before we were in for him.
The best appointment but poor recruitment might be bad for him. Hopefully we see Advocaat Ferguson/Bailey Rice Clement. He has nothing to lose…RANGERS APPOINT PHILIPPE CLEMENT AS MEN'S TEAM MANAGER

Mate if we're all in on the guy and he fails they will likely take over our title haul. Think about that for minute. It may be an uncomfortable truth but it is true.I wouldn’t go that far but let’s get behind the guy and start a fresh and let’s hope for the start of something special.
100%. It's a massive appointment.Thanks, good to hear that he had options and saw us as the best one. Good luck to him, for all our sanity we really need this to work out.

300?Said in his interview he’s a football animal and everything is about winning.
If you have 11 men on the park with this attitude, you win things. A great chance with the league cup shortly if we keep the head.
First piece of silverware in the Clement era hopefully and we drive on.
As a wise man once said, or maybe it was Leonidas, anyway:
Give to them, nothing.
Take from them, everything.
Monaco have fans all 7 seven of them
The replies to this from Monaco fans don't make for good reading
Well we’ll find out soon enough on whether the players we have are shite, or just playing shite, a world of difference between the two, and if it’s the latter (fingers crossed) then we can save ourselves a fortuneThe best appointment but poor recruitment might be bad for him. Hopefully we see Advocaat Ferguson/Bailey Rice Clement. He has nothing to lose…
I’m happy with the appointment but the recruitment remains dreadful. If he gets a tune out of them he’s a genius.Well we’ll find out soon enough on whether the players we have are shite, or just playing shite, a world of difference between the two, and if it’s the latter (fingers crossed) then we can save ourselves a fortune
If he plays the youth players that will tell us all we need to know. If Lammers and Dessers start performing, all the better.Well we’ll find out soon enough on whether the players we have are shite, or just playing shite, a world of difference between the two, and if it’s the latter (fingers crossed) then we can save ourselves a fortune

It’s time, mate. It’s time.Sums it up for me C.
And you‘re bang on with the quote. Bastards have been doing it to us for the last 11 years, bar a couple of magnificent interruptions.
Time for the fightback.

Part of me is now gutted.
Stella, croissants & chocolate
We do need some Scottish influence in the coaching staff, I would go for Billy Davies
What are the replies, I don’t have twitter, X or whatever the hell it’s called?
Mostly negative from Monaco fans saying good luck you will need it. Haven't seen any negative comments from Belgian supporters
