Our Coaching Team

[Cooper 11]

When Clement was appointed, it was said, he’d get by just him, his assistant, Rae & Davis until the end of the season and assess things from there.

Davis has since left.

Rae is being touted for managerial jobs down south. Do we know what he’s brought to the party under Clement other than “he knows what it’s all about”? Does Clement even want to retain him going forward?

What sort of coaching structure does Clement/Koppen want to implement? For all the talk about an overhaul of the playing personnel, has any thought be given to how the back room team will shape up next year?

Oh, and if Colin Stewart is still coaching our set plays, can we please put an end to that.

This is not meant as a scattergun reactionary thread where everyone from the players to Broxi getting it in the neck, more an observation of what was said in October and a curiosity of what the coaching staff will look like next season.

10 votes for Croatia and 10 for Israel from me.

Ffs, move the the bear pit please admin.

 

[Number 4]

Overhaul is needed.

Players are well documented.

Not one aspect of our play looks well drilled at the moment.

If PC does not recognise the need for a shake-up, it’s his neck on the line.

Mon to fk I came in here to get away from things!

PC said he does set plays mate .

Good question re some changes yeah I think there have to be and it was in my mind recently too . One to watch this summer .

Could it maybe include conditioning coaches maybe ?

I’m certain he does he pulled CG from the team and that is the earliest indication he will pull whoever he sees as needing moved out .
Your right I think he has to and how successful he is at that , including replacements he chooses , will determine his managerial regime .

We all think of Alex Ferguson dint we he was the model in these matter albeit the tone and language used to exit people now are gentler .

I wouldn't be surprised if Johan Van Rumst comes to Rangers in the summer. He was part of Clement's staff at all his former clubs. He did this interview with the Rangers Review back in November speaks about what Clement is like and why he didn't come to Rangers with him at the time. But he has followed him before after Clement has started at a new club.

Van Heyden was also an attacking midfielder perhaps that’s why there was no slot for JvR on this occasion . I can imagine there being a new role this summer though yeah just not sure what it would be but fitness , recovery and sports science should be an absolute priority .

 

[Twosignals]

Posted earlier there’s no heart and soul Rangers players behind Clement only Alex Rae and at best he’s average. Clement himself has to waken up to his surroundings and call them out when need be!

 

[ChildOfGoth]

One other point abt that interview I wondered about but it says PC uses a Captains team to guide and harmonise with the squad aka Leadership Team in local lingo .

That’s something I wasn’t sure he valued but it’s there in black and white from his colleague JvR so I assume it will continue next season with different players appointed .

Honestly not sure what Rae brings to the team.

It's certainly not fight and dig

Very interesting article, and can’t say I remember reading it at the time so thanks for sharing. Interesting to hear about PC’s use of psychologists too. (I’d love to know what through Lundstram’s head yesterday, but suspect the answer would be nothing.)

So what do we need in the backroom team? And what positions are up for grabs?

Fitness coach?
Specialist set plays?
Tactics?
Any others?

We need to back Phil in this department as well as the transfers.

Would love to have a young and hungry coach on his team. Clement is a manager in the same vein as Walter rather than a Head coach, he needs someone tactical to assist him and not getting those vibes from Van Der Heyden.

I don’t recognise the manager van Rumst speaks of in that interview. It’s like he’s describing a totally different person.

A paragraph from that interview (sorry to quote reply you again) that stuck out like a sore thumb:

“Philippe wants to be a father figure to his players. In the locker room he can be tough but outside of that, he always stands up for his players externally to protect them. He also relies on a captain's group (or leadership group) to help explain ideas and manage the dressing room.”

That’s the problem, right there. Kick them out Philippe, before they get rid of you. Our senior leadership team are gobshites, the kind of folk everyone has in the office who knows f**k all but can talk the talk and sound convincing in meetings.

Give him this window to indicate he can discriminate between talk the talk and walk the ‘no surrender’ walk

Maybe Tav doesn't have the brains or football knowledge to work with a manager so closely, being the middle man between PC and the team, in delivering whats needed and how and when it's needed.

Also, celtic don't play against us the same way they play everyone else, so watching their games all day won't help him 1 bit.

Let's just hope he can get a captain/assistant that can translate what he's wanting the team to do on the park, because from the outside looking in, PC is more of a man manager, not a specialist in setting up teams to play silky football. As someone said above, that article sounds like a different manager who has a team the punts the ball up the park when getting slightly pressed. I'm clutching at straws at this point because I don't know what is going on just now with our club, I just hope he's the man to rectify it this summer!

Like you say, a lot of this points to issues we’ve been discussing over the last few weeks and months. What does a Phil Clement team look like? What is his footballing identity? Is 4-2-3-1 even his favoured formation or is that just a case of attempting to make the best out of the players we have available?

The new manager bounce is gone. The season is gone. He’s also had 6 months to suss out the league, our players and the resources available to him. If specialists need brought in to supplement his skill sets, we should be jumping on it, as it would be negligent in the extreme waiting until now to do something about it.

 

[All of the Lights]

Yet another similarity to Beale. Also looked to his team and wondered what they brought to the table and they hardly had inspiring CVs.

Needs to be a shake up in this department as well.

Who says he doesn’t notice? Why does there always need to be the implied threat in comments?

Generic coping mechanism for many these days.

Some start invective laden threads with the names of individual players, some about the board, some about management. Roll the dice, but it's usually one of those ones following a loss. Ultimately they're looking for an outlet and also confirmation of others of the justification for that expression.

Yeh, That seems to be the way of it right enough. It’s almost as depressing as the result itself. I really should ban myself from FF for a few days after a bad result.
