I’ve been his biggest critic recently but something seemed to have changed the past few weeks. I think we give him this window and see where we end up at the end of the season now. Let’s face it we’ve got nothing left to lose really.
Honestly a few weeks ago I was thinking that Clement's days were numbered. Now though I think it would be a real shame if he was sacked now that the team is starting to show some real progress. So we didn't successfully defend the league cup and there is still a lot of room for improvement. The last 4 or 5 Rangers performances, including the one on Sunday, have been very encouraging though.
I always said lampard wouldn't have done what Clement done last season and still think that now. He has been hit with a dodgy hand in terms of timing at being rangers. But give him time
I don't think we can continually change managers especially when you look at the clubs who chop and change. Let's see where we get to at the end of the season. We are 11 points behind just now, let's see the gap narrowing.😊
This manager has had the balls to change, looking at it, i think he's been working on this style behind doors, it really looks like that to me anyway. Hes even said it a few times tbf. I'll give him benifit, and the squad, lack of money he's had, board being a shambles, getting everything wrong that i know of pretty much. As has everyone at times, but I'm hoping this board is improving along with the team. Again injuries to worry about, really need a few in for sure. Don't think world take that much to get back to a consistent better level. Few key players needed. No idea how many jobs they've got him doing, but needs to be 1, managing the team. That's plenty. Aye it's shite watching where we are, where we could've and should've been. Long as we keep improving, and please let this board improve, get the guys that are hiding out, few new decent ones in if possible, who will burst themselves for this club. That's my thoughts CJ. Right or wrong, now I'll see what your saying, you've usually got the right thoughts imo anyway
Clement must get to the end of the season. We need a least another 4 quality players and he has to clear more of the big wage players who are not performing. His signings have been okay.
I agree with many...let's see where we are at the end of the season and then re-assess. Encouraging signs in the last few weeks. Heads down and crack on!
I was Clement out since Aberdeen leading up till the draw with Dundee utd. Since then, he's had more options, included Hagi, Igamane and got Raskin on form. European form has been very good this season and slowly we are seeing his signings starting to gel. Personally, i'd stick with him until the end of the season, see if we can win the cup and finally a win vs Celtic and then take it from there.
Ive been a critic for a while but the way he's had us playing, you can see the way the team are performing recently i would stick with him for the moment. Lets see how things go and see if he can beat them. 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
Since the draw with united I think he's took steps forward and shown he's got something.. hopefully in January he can move on those who are holding him and the manager back so we can see what he can do going forward
Rangers have a quality manager in Clement. Who is competing with Celtic on shoe string budget. This is young team rebuild project which will take time. Possibly next season before this team will show it's full potential
Yes CJ. Finally we are starting to see development in an actual style of football. A few weeks ago I couldn’t see what was going on or what direction our style of play was. He’s made some big calls dropping some players who desperately needed to be dropped (fair play to tav for stepping up again) And not only a visible style, but we can see the players with a bit of belief and actually giving it 110% on the pitch. That’s all we can ask of and long may it continue in the direction it’s going. A few more quality additions in January and this squad will continue to gel and grow 🤞🇬🇧
I believe if we can’t beat Them then we will continue to fear for the PC as the manager. The players have to continue this climb back to success. Personally we must continue to lose dead weight. Dessers should never be seen on the pitch again. Well said CJ
I am a Clement supporter and believe he needs to have the chance in the summer to bring new players. He has half his first team and needs to be allowed to to purchase the 2nd half of his team in the summer.
We have to give him until the end of the season and see what happens. It looks like he's starting to get the best out of the squad, and I'm looking forward to the next game now to see if we can continue to build on it.
of course I want clement to succeed .. sadly though I don't see him being the man to lead us to be successful I want to be wrong sadly I don't see him being the man..
Thanks CJ. We can’t judge PC until the season is done no matter what bad and good comes between now and then. He didn’t have the options he has now 5 weeks ago so it’s the options that are now coming together. The direction is clear but will take time. Our support and patience must not weaver. The alternative is another 2 year restart and that’s just not acceptable. Cmon the Gers.
To recall a phrase from a few videos ago "Clement is like a toxic ex". I was never truly in the "clement out" camp because I've had a very pessimistic view of this season from the word go. We knew this was a year we had to cut spending and start a new young project, we knew Celtic were firing on all cylinders and riding high on winning so I always said that his job this season was not to win, it was to get ready to win next year and we cannot justify another 1 year manager sacking. I was mega frustrated with the results and I hated seeing celtic rub it in our faces but it's all part of the process... Now? Now things are looking up dare I say it. Rangers are finally ready to compete at the level we expect as fans, ready to compete for the history and prestige of this club. I was willing to keep clement, now I'm (starting to) want to keep him.
I feel that he passed the test. I like that he's been big enough to bring Hagi back into the fold. I thought I was done with him, but chopping and changing hasn't been working for us either. I think he should be given time and at least now if we do plan on replacing him we can take our time about it from a position of strength. Verdict- keep him until at least the end of the season.
Gies peace, bring back Hagi? The board told him he couldn't play Hagi because they couldn't afford to pay him the extra 5k per week that his contract triggered when he hit 100 games.
I was Clement out, but since the Aberdeen loss, we have shown identity on the park, heart desire. The Nice result the way we have been scoring domestically the Spurs result and the effort shown agaist them gives Clement validation that he is trying to build something. But this club is all about winning silverware and this must change to put Glasgow Rangers back at the top of Scottish football.
You need to stop thinking about the past! Your club isn’t about winning silverware on a constant basis! Only Celtic should expect that! Stop living in the past
@EasyEasyQuadrupleTreble Alright, pal, keep telling yourself that, but before Scottish football shot itself in the foot by voluntarily voting us to the bottom division and destroying itself, we were decades ahead, yous and the spfl seen and opportunity and took it like the rats you are giving us a unbelievably harsh punishment. Your past decade of success is built on no competition and failing on the European front. Yous are only anything because we exist and I genuinely don't think Celtic would have came back from what the famous came back from... I've seen how you boys reacted to losing your 10IAR 🤣 Yous can win as much as you like but the greatest Scottish club in Scotland is the Gers by a country mile
Get a life, a Rangers page & yous are still obsessing over us, stick to your own platforms you ruin ours wae your childish & bitter comments.@@EasyEasyQuadrupleTreble
@@EasyEasyQuadrupleTrebleit’s true I’m a gers fan see all this trophy count shit totally pathetic loser mentality. Soon as u start flicking through the dusty old books you’ve lost. Don’t care if rangers were good in 1910 good for those fans but I wasn’t alive to see it I care about here and now.
@@EasyEasyQuadrupleTrebleso what u are telling us is that u have a sense of self entitlement but there's no way u are gonna tell us that u weren't feeling nervous during the game on Sunday because I'd bet that u were.
To have the balls to drop Tav and also go with Igamane and Hagi shows he's not afraid to make changes. I honestly feel we need to give him more time as things are changing. He is in a very difficult position and we need to get behind him
He made the changes after he put us in a huge hole, 11 points behind with nothing to lose, then he chose to change his ways. We've lost the league and the Cup already this season and it's not even Xmas.
Past few weeks clement has won me over, and so has Tav btw. We’ve found our footing, but we do have dead weight players like dessers and Mccausland. We need a wee spruce up over the January window.
Cj lets remember even walter smith had rubbish peroids with rangers maybe theres nothing this season BUT its all to play for next season aslong as hes prepared n has a full fit squad
Correct very good point it's all about giving big phil a chance it takes time to build a good team remember there were injury to players too there has been improvement but you just can't replace managers when things don't work ❤
You said before where is the improvement? Well I think we can definitely see it now and I feel he deserves a bit of faith from us as he re-shapes this awful squad of under acheivers. Once dessers, lawrence , tavernier, dowell are gone and have been replaced then I'll judge him. Not while he's using failed managers cast offs.
I think clement is finally going in the right direction by dropping dessers. no idea why it took so long but rangers have be watchable since he's been dropped. Must by galling for team mates knowing your striker misses sitters or scores offside goals every single game. With danilo and igamane they finally have some end product and it probably contributes to the rest of the team up their levels
The problem is who would we get that's better? We would be naive to think we would attract a top manager.The names bandied about such as McInnes,etc. are not up to it.Stick with him.
Hello everyone! As we mentioned last week we'd sit-down and discuss Clement after the two massive games that could have determined his Rangers future.. We sit on the other side of those games..how do you feel?
Was gonny ask you who you think should come in position wise in January and who should leave but maybe you should do a vid after Christmas (if time lol) or round about January window think it would be interesting matey.
Clement had a massive job to sort out the mentality around the club, getting costs under control and only being able to buy potential, all while having a circus above him at the club. There was never going to be a quick fix. Granted, he should have made some of these recent changes much sooner, but there is absolutely a long term plan that’s gradually coming into fruition. Unfortunately he needs this January and summer transfer window to move on the rest of the dead-weight and hopefully bring in more potential that will completely change the mentality at the club into players who go and get the win, rather than panic about dropping points and just huff and puff. It would be crazy to chop and change the manager again and then give the next guy 18 months to get his squad. Clement has previous, we can see what he’s trying to do and unfortunately we have to be patient. Just don’t play Dessers and Dowell again and Tav needs to be back-up RB when Sterling is fit.
We may as well stick with him and see if he can improve us further. We aren't going to win the league or the europa league. We have the scottish cup to play for and hopefully he can win us a couple of old firm games. Thats our goals for the season now
We're now actually able to play the way PC wants. If we had a fit Igamane, Danilo, Raskin and Hagi at the start of the season we would be in a different place now. We also need the new CEO to go after the blatant cheating in Scottish football, we should be talking about it in every presser from now until Jan 2nd
Got to give him time ,Beale left a mess ,but he's had to get rid of players ,takes time ,you can't keep sacking managers , Give him time ,he'll get it right
CJ, utter nonsense about Rangers improving because Clement decided to use different players. Igamane is young and came injured, Hagi had a contract issue and Danilo was injured. He didn't have these three available for months. And on top of that many new players in the team at once. Was never going to click straight away.
I wrote on Tom English's column in Sept 24 and again in Nov 24 just before the wee run of good results....I had him outof here in early Sept....what I have seen in the past month from the team has changed my views. Is it the manager or is it the attitude of the players. Who knows.....still need to produce more performances like we have had recently....our luck will change....its only a matter of time....🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
There’s been a massive improvement. One penalty missed, and another penalty not given, meant the difference between a win and loss. This was not his fault. It was a roll of the dice.
I respect you. Celtic fan. Watch your videos. Always measured and you're bang on here. Rangers were better in the game and stopped Celtic playing well and played ok themselves.
Been saying it elsewhere, but the last few weeks has me one foot back on the PC train. Holding on very tight in the knowledge my foot may come very quickly back off, but a foot back on none the less. Asked for progress. Now im seeing it. It must be sustained though. The game on the 2nd is really a must win or rest assured the toxicity will be just around the corner.
Everyone needs to calm down. Keep the faith!! Firstly, we didn't lose on Sunday... It was a draw and they won the cup on Penalties and that happens.. The penalty decision was a horror show!! But the big picture is were improving... Our enemy is flipping managers and players... We need to stick this out to create success!
Aye we played well on Sunday, but putting Ridvan and Butland in your top 5 pens, is ludicrous. Dessers can't even be trusted but he should have been gagging to take one. Celtic had 5 top pen takers, we didn't.
We all have completely underestimated how difficult a job it is the now. PC trying to build a new winning team with zero resources , zero hierarchy, zero structure, zero stability. Should have won us two trophies......i think he's done great. For a while I was hating on him but nae we've all gotta chill and appreciate where we're at the now. Let's go pump them in a couple weeks then kick on from there. Get a good European run. Sell on some assets for a tidy profit in the summer and get this player trading model on the fukin road already. No more time to waste. 2 years max for our best players , punt them for good money and go again.All I NEED to see is that Dessers leaving in Jan....hes killing us. Good stats but he's holding us back
Don't be stupid. Had enough of these people giving it "he's been dealt one of the worst squads in Rangers history, and there's not much he could do with this squad, but he's lost too many games and he has to go." It just doesn't add up, it's time to wake up and smell the bacon guys, our squad right now is just objectively not as good as Celtic's, and it's gonna take a while to catch up, but in order to get any chance of catching up, we need a good coach. Anybody claiming that Clement isn't good enough to be at Rangers is living in the 1990's, Scotland is small time compared to the Belgian league, and he's won it 3 times, he's took a Monaco squad from a relegation scrap to the top 3 in Ligue 1. It's a much different league in Scotland granted, and it took a while for the penny to drop, but has now, and we're improving. But no let's look the fact that he hasn't beat Celtic yet for one second, boot him immediately, and start the cycle over again. Only this time with some no name bloke from the championship or something, I'm sure he'll win the league next year. Like do you want us to improve or not? It's like some fans go out of their way to be reactionary for no reason other than "oh it's Rangers we need to win the league every year" it hasn't been that way for ages now, and it's never gonna be that way again if we continue this cycle. Most of the people who want Clement out just aren't paying attention and they aren't actually watching games.
I thought Bajrami had his best game for us, he’s the first player in a few seasons to stop their captain swanning about the park and the difference was the bench nothing more mate 👍🇬🇧👏🏻👏🏻
I agree with you CJ. I feel that Phil has finally "let off the handbrake" but its taken his job on the line to get to this phase. Weve been hampered with injury upon injury and i feel sorry for our manager everytime a player limps off the park. Igamane,Raskin and Hagi have been a wake up call to whats been needed for so long in gers team. Barron will give his all but maybe still too defensively minded. Dunno why but i have a feeling cortez once fit will be lethal. Anyway, i want Phil to stay and expect us to start annihilating spl teams from now on.
To all the Gers fans on here… (and I am here because CJ’s videos are brill)… I really hate to say but we have not kicked our own backsides since the 6-0 game against Aberdeen. Which means… you can’t judge yesterday as the new gap I’m afraid. We will hit a run again but at the minute we are doing enough to win games. Some by more than a few goals and some close.
I think I'm the same as many. Wanted him gone a few weeks ago, but the improvement in the last few games gives me hope. The nagging doubt though, is how long it took him to change things. The supporters were crying out for changes like resting Tav for Sterling or Nana. Get Dessers out of the starting lineup etc. It felt like he only made those changes when he had no option left rather than being proactive about it.
His favourites? You are telling half a story CJ. He hasn’t had the players to choose from up until recently. Danilo has been injured, Igamane hasn’t been fit/ready enough and Hagi wasn’t available and when he was available, he made himself unavailable by getting sent off! Clement has more options now and he is using the options well.
I was talking to a mate at work today abouts this, i honestly think he needs to win against them in January and if he doesnt he has to go unfortunately, my mate disagreed with that.
The big thing clement needs to do is get tav and dessers out of the starting 11 rotation players that are holding us back and are going to cost him a job. If he is to go forward he needs to do what other manager havent and drop the problems if hes going to stay employed. Get tav, dessers, dowell etc sold in jan and get some cheap replacements in for rotation or to even fight for a position cause these players dont fight for us they know if they dont dtart one week theyll get rotated in at some point and collect their weekly wage win lose or draw
I think he WILL get rid of the players that aren't producing. Look at the list of players that he got rid of in the summer....he clearly knows who the crap ones are.... SIGNED in Summer 2024: Mohamed Diomande (22) CM - £4.5m (Nordsjælland) Jefte (20) LB - £400k (Fluminense) Oscar Cortes (20) LW - 1 year loan with obligation to buy from Lens Clinton Nsiala (20) CB - free transfer with training compo from Ac Milan Connor Barron (21) CM - free transfer from Aberdeen Liam Kelly (28) GK - free transfer from Motherwell Hamza Igamane (21) ST - £1.5m from FAR Rabat Vaclav Cerny (26) RW - Season loan from Wolfsburg Robin Propper (30) CB - £1.5m from Twente GONE in Summer 2024 Borna Barisic - OOC Kemar Roofe - OOC Ryan Jack - OOC John Lundstram - OOC Jon McLaughlin - OOC Abdallah Sima - end of loan - Brighton Fabio Silva - end of loan - Wolves Robbie McCrorie - undisclosed fee - Kilmarnock Sam Lammers - undisclosed fee - Twente Connor Goldson - undisclosed fee - Aris Limassol
I've not heard what you said yet . But recently he was up there with Maggie Thatcher for me but tbh after the last 4 games I'm like well maybe he's coming good as he did have a few player problems but he certainly didn't make it easy for himself either. Sometimes I'm totally baffled by his line ups and subs , formation etc. But I'm enjoying the team atm so just maybe. I think keep him for a while and see . Last chance
We can at last see we are going in the right direction, we cannae keep sacking managers, A mini clearout , of Dessers Dowel and Montondo even Lawrence ,should raise some much needed funds,this season can still be used to build a positive solid squad capable of doing over the unwashed, keep the faith🤚🏻❤️🗡️🛡️🇬🇧
CJ really good video, spot on with your analysis but why has it taken so long to be where we are now, to be honest we need to get rid of our old players and invest in youth this season.
6 weeks ago I was one them who's was calling for him to go,but then you think what he's done getting rid of all the dead wood and bringing in a new team that are starting to click so now I say give the man a chance , even if we bring in a new manager. Then we would have to start from scratch again see who he brings in Jan, take it from there .
Only reason he’s changed tactics was because his arse was on the line. He had to do something because new ceo was coming in. Be back to the usual at weekend.
I think the real thing is the next 4 games are vital. I think je needs a minimum of 10 points in this games before i am willing to put ny faith back in him. Hes made all rhe right things but i also gives me the fear how long it took him to change the system. Like if this system starts to fail is it also gonna take him another what 10-15 games to change it? Thwts what really scares me personally
I have faith that Clement is trying his best wae nuhin . He promised us improvement as he had a bit more than nuhin because of the improvements in the people available tae him. Despite these recent improvements he has yet tae beat our closest rivals.Thats no good enough and our players have been playin worse than we were at the bottom of the league structure. Dae I want him the have the team playing every game like we do in Europe? AbsoFlutely. Is his time up? I dunno.
An honest summary, Craig, your gaffer has genuinely been turning things round for the better for weeks now and you've still got plenty to play for too, regardless of what any naysayers claim to the contrary. Looking at things at face value for the past two games, i.e., a win and a draw, makes things look poor at best, but that's not the case at all when we take into consideration the manner of those results, the Gers' performances and the fact that your team was a whisker away from winning them both. As for the big Dessers scenario, if I was Phil Clement I'd genuinely be playing young Alex Lowry up front as a 'false nine' before I gave Cyriel any more minutes. I heard Saint-Étienne are interested in him? In that case, my best advice to Cyriel would be to take the offer and go.
What baffles me is things have improved on the pitch which seems to suggest he’s willingly set the team up to play crap for too long. Why would he do that?
Our last 3 games we played with two men up front before cup final done great why change against celtic be brave which i thought we had nothing to lose when u look at the game that could have made the difference
There’s always going to be hiccups with inexperienced players, part and parcel of learning, maybe sometimes there’s been too much inexperience in the starting lineup, regardless of quality and potential of youngsters, But there’s no doubt the players are developing, The gaffer is showing he has the know how to take the club forward
Clement should have ironed out the creases pre season we’ve had nothing except the last two weeks I hope the team does go forward and have a good rest of the season but the dead weight’s need to be off loaded and we all know who we’re talking about
Yes performances have improved but Clement still makes VERY bad decisions like bringing Dowell on in the final and starting Tavenier. Has he really changed lets see what happens when Lawrence is fit again and he drops Hagi.
Great video as always CJ! In my opinion we need to strengthen the defence a solid CB to partner Soapy, get the likesof dessers dowel Lawrence out the club, hopefully get a left winger midfielder because Cortes is made out of paper mache and can't be trusted and a solid reliable RB. Wish it was as easy as that 😂. I think we're starting to see a good core of leaders in soutter raskin hagi Bajrami ect build around them
I’ve been his biggest critic recently but something seemed to have changed the past few weeks. I think we give him this window and see where we end up at the end of the season now. Let’s face it we’ve got nothing left to lose really.
Nothings changed expect you're delusions are back where you seen it clearly before. Been there loads u det Gerrard Gio and Beale
As a Celtic fan I really like this guy. Always very balanced. Good for you mate. Cracking channel.
Honestly a few weeks ago I was thinking that Clement's days were numbered. Now though I think it would be a real shame if he was sacked now that the team is starting to show some real progress. So we didn't successfully defend the league cup and there is still a lot of room for improvement. The last 4 or 5 Rangers performances, including the one on Sunday, have been very encouraging though.
Thing's have improved obviously still a way to go , we have to stick with Clement imo give him this season and see how we are 🤷♂️, thanks again cj 👍
I have faith in Clement tbf
The players he's selecting to start certainly have his by the looks of it
👍👍👍
Really hoping he's got the measure of 'them' now, and how to set up. Just need Dessers to shape-up or ship-out.
@@bobafet6064dessers has had enough chances he should be sold asap and a replacement brought in as cover for igamane and danilo
I always said lampard wouldn't have done what Clement done last season and still think that now. He has been hit with a dodgy hand in terms of timing at being rangers. But give him time
It's no coincidence that our play has improved since dopey dessers was dropped
I think dessers has played his last he should be stepping up for the penalty
100%
You're the man CJ. You're picking this team. Clement is surely a lurker on your comments section ! Hes been watching your videos, its obvious 😂
Stick with Clement, I think he can turn it around and I like the focus on bringing in youth to the team.
I don't think we can continually change managers especially when you look at the clubs who chop and change. Let's see where we get to at the end of the season. We are 11 points behind just now, let's see the gap narrowing.😊
we ARE the club that, smart clubs look at, to warn of the perils of chopping and changing.
This manager has had the balls to change, looking at it, i think he's been working on this style behind doors, it really looks like that to me anyway. Hes even said it a few times tbf.
I'll give him benifit, and the squad, lack of money he's had, board being a shambles, getting everything wrong that i know of pretty much. As has everyone at times, but I'm hoping this board is improving along with the team.
Again injuries to worry about, really need a few in for sure.
Don't think world take that much to get back to a consistent better level.
Few key players needed.
No idea how many jobs they've got him doing, but needs to be 1, managing the team. That's plenty.
Aye it's shite watching where we are, where we could've and should've been.
Long as we keep improving, and please let this board improve, get the guys that are hiding out, few new decent ones in if possible, who will burst themselves for this club.
That's my thoughts CJ.
Right or wrong, now I'll see what your saying, you've usually got the right thoughts imo anyway
Give the man more time. I am started to believe in him. His signing are doing not to bad. We Can't keep on sacking managers.
C.J. I agree 100% M8. Your Spot on
Clement must get to the end of the season. We need a least another 4 quality players and he has to clear more of the big wage players who are not performing. His signings have been okay.
I agree with many...let's see where we are at the end of the season and then re-assess. Encouraging signs in the last few weeks. Heads down and crack on!
Can’t agree more buddy
I was Clement out since Aberdeen leading up till the draw with Dundee utd. Since then, he's had more options, included Hagi, Igamane and got Raskin on form. European form has been very good this season and slowly we are seeing his signings starting to gel. Personally, i'd stick with him until the end of the season, see if we can win the cup and finally a win vs Celtic and then take it from there.
Ive been a critic for a while but the way he's had us playing, you can see the way the team are performing recently i would stick with him for the moment. Lets see how things go and see if he can beat them. 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
Turns out the players we needed were the ones he froze out. Raskin and Hagi.
Raskin was injured and then overweight coming back. Hagi’s issue was his contract situation.
We quite simply need A BUY-OUT !
A WHOLE NEW BOARD IS NEEDED !!!
Think he's done enough to get to end of season
Since the draw with united I think he's took steps forward and shown he's got something.. hopefully in January he can move on those who are holding him and the manager back so we can see what he can do going forward
Why what has he done ?
Rangers have a quality manager in Clement. Who is competing with Celtic on shoe string budget. This is young team rebuild project which will take time. Possibly next season before this team will show it's full potential
Your 100% spot on cj everyone will an opinion we might not all agree lets see how it goes the next 4 games time will tell best cj
We have no option but to stick with Clement until the end of the season, when we can reassess. 🇬🇧🔴⚪️🔵🇬🇧
Yes CJ. Finally we are starting to see development in an actual style of football. A few weeks ago I couldn’t see what was going on or what direction our style of play was. He’s made some big calls dropping some players who desperately needed to be dropped (fair play to tav for stepping up again)
And not only a visible style, but we can see the players with a bit of belief and actually giving it 110% on the pitch.
That’s all we can ask of and long may it continue in the direction it’s going.
A few more quality additions in January and this squad will continue to gel and grow 🤞🇬🇧
Well done CJ.
I believe if we can’t beat Them then we will continue to fear for the PC as the manager. The players have to continue this climb back to success. Personally we must continue to lose dead weight. Dessers should never be seen on the pitch again.
Well said CJ
I am a Clement supporter and believe he needs to have the chance in the summer to bring new players. He has half his first team and needs to be allowed to to purchase the 2nd half of his team in the summer.
We have to give him until the end of the season and see what happens. It looks like he's starting to get the best out of the squad, and I'm looking forward to the next game now to see if we can continue to build on it.
of course I want clement to succeed .. sadly though I don't see him being the man to lead us to be successful I want to be wrong sadly I don't see him being the man..
Thanks CJ. We can’t judge PC until the season is done no matter what bad and good comes between now and then. He didn’t have the options he has now 5 weeks ago so it’s the options that are now coming together. The direction is clear but will take time. Our support and patience must not weaver. The alternative is another 2 year restart and that’s just not acceptable. Cmon the Gers.
To recall a phrase from a few videos ago "Clement is like a toxic ex". I was never truly in the "clement out" camp because I've had a very pessimistic view of this season from the word go.

Rangers are finally ready to compete at the level we expect as fans, ready to compete for the history and prestige of this club. I was willing to keep clement, now I'm (starting to) want to keep him.
I feel that he passed the test. I like that he's been big enough to bring Hagi back into the fold. I thought I was done with him, but chopping and changing hasn't been working for us either. I think he should be given time and at least now if we do plan on replacing him we can take our time about it from a position of strength. Verdict- keep him until at least the end of the season.
Gies peace, bring back Hagi? The board told him he couldn't play Hagi because they couldn't afford to pay him the extra 5k per week that his contract triggered when he hit 100 games.
I was Clement out, but since the Aberdeen loss, we have shown identity on the park, heart desire. The Nice result the way we have been scoring domestically the Spurs result and the effort shown agaist them gives Clement validation that he is trying to build something.
But this club is all about winning silverware and this must change to put Glasgow Rangers back at the top of Scottish football.
You need to stop thinking about the past! Your club isn’t about winning silverware on a constant basis! Only Celtic should expect that! Stop living in the past
@EasyEasyQuadrupleTreble Alright, pal, keep telling yourself that, but before Scottish football shot itself in the foot by voluntarily voting us to the bottom division and destroying itself, we were decades ahead, yous and the spfl seen and opportunity and took it like the rats you are giving us a unbelievably harsh punishment. Your past decade of success is built on no competition and failing on the European front. Yous are only anything because we exist and I genuinely don't think Celtic would have came back from what the famous came back from... I've seen how you boys reacted to losing your 10IAR 🤣
Yous can win as much as you like but the greatest Scottish club in Scotland is the Gers by a country mile
Get a life, a Rangers page & yous are still obsessing over us, stick to your own platforms you ruin ours wae your childish & bitter comments.@@EasyEasyQuadrupleTreble
@@EasyEasyQuadrupleTrebleit’s true I’m a gers fan see all this trophy count shit totally pathetic loser mentality. Soon as u start flicking through the dusty old books you’ve lost. Don’t care if rangers were good in 1910 good for those fans but I wasn’t alive to see it I care about here and now.
@@EasyEasyQuadrupleTrebleso what u are telling us is that u have a sense of self entitlement but there's no way u are gonna tell us that u weren't feeling nervous during the game on Sunday because I'd bet that u were.
Clement will determine his own fate. If he chooses correct starting eleven he should have no problem.
Last two games. A draw and a defeat..oh happy days. The corner has been turned.
To have the balls to drop Tav and also go with Igamane and Hagi shows he's not afraid to make changes. I honestly feel we need to give him more time as things are changing.
He is in a very difficult position and we need to get behind him
He made the changes after he put us in a huge hole, 11 points behind with nothing to lose, then he chose to change his ways. We've lost the league and the Cup already this season and it's not even Xmas.
Past few weeks clement has won me over, and so has Tav btw. We’ve found our footing, but we do have dead weight players like dessers and Mccausland. We need a wee spruce up over the January window.
I support Clement 100%
Cj lets remember even walter smith had rubbish peroids with rangers maybe theres nothing this season BUT its all to play for next season aslong as hes prepared n has a full fit squad
Correct very good point it's all about giving big phil a chance it takes time to build a good team remember there were injury to players too there has been improvement but you just can't replace managers when things don't work ❤
You said before where is the improvement? Well I think we can definitely see it now and I feel he deserves a bit of faith from us as he re-shapes this awful squad of under acheivers. Once dessers, lawrence , tavernier, dowell are gone and have been replaced then I'll judge him. Not while he's using failed managers cast offs.
Very fair way to look at it
I think we're starting to see the signings PC and NK have made really starting to play now. Even Propper has shown a big improvement the last 2 games
HAGI,showed them the standards thats required.❤
They let him play so they can sell him in winter.
I think clement is finally going in the right direction by dropping dessers. no idea why it took so long but rangers have be watchable since he's been dropped. Must by galling for team mates knowing your striker misses sitters or scores offside goals every single game. With danilo and igamane they finally have some end product and it probably contributes to the rest of the team up their levels
The problem is who would we get that's better? We would be naive to think we would attract a top manager.The names bandied about such as McInnes,etc. are not up to it.Stick with him.
It would have to be a world class manager to compete with Brendan Rodgers.
That's a fact mate.
@@edwardkelly8840 Pished myself with laughter emoji
Hello everyone! As we mentioned last week we'd sit-down and discuss Clement after the two massive games that could have determined his Rangers future..
We sit on the other side of those games..how do you feel?
Humbug
I think Dessers having fewer minutes has helped us in the last couple of weeks!!
Was gonny ask you who you think should come in position wise in January and who should leave but maybe you should do a vid after Christmas (if time lol) or round about January window think it would be interesting matey.
A half decent centre half no a project player with soutar being injured too good post mate
Clement had a massive job to sort out the mentality around the club, getting costs under control and only being able to buy potential, all while having a circus above him at the club.
There was never going to be a quick fix. Granted, he should have made some of these recent changes much sooner, but there is absolutely a long term plan that’s gradually coming into fruition. Unfortunately he needs this January and summer transfer window to move on the rest of the dead-weight and hopefully bring in more potential that will completely change the mentality at the club into players who go and get the win, rather than panic about dropping points and just huff and puff.
It would be crazy to chop and change the manager again and then give the next guy 18 months to get his squad. Clement has previous, we can see what he’s trying to do and unfortunately we have to be patient.
Just don’t play Dessers and Dowell again and Tav needs to be back-up RB when Sterling is fit.
We may as well stick with him and see if he can improve us further. We aren't going to win the league or the europa league. We have the scottish cup to play for and hopefully he can win us a couple of old firm games. Thats our goals for the season now
Got to see if he cn improve even mire when the actual left wjngers come back from injury . I feel he is building and we need givr him our backing
We're now actually able to play the way PC wants. If we had a fit Igamane, Danilo, Raskin and Hagi at the start of the season we would be in a different place now. We also need the new CEO to go after the blatant cheating in Scottish football, we should be talking about it in every presser from now until Jan 2nd
Rangers groundhog day...again...and again...and again etc etc etc
Got to give him time ,Beale left a mess ,but he's had to get rid of players ,takes time ,you can't keep sacking managers , Give him time ,he'll get it right
CJ, utter nonsense about Rangers improving because Clement decided to use different players. Igamane is young and came injured, Hagi had a contract issue and Danilo was injured. He didn't have these three available for months. And on top of that many new players in the team at once. Was never going to click straight away.
he decided to put them in when fit. That is deciding to use new players🤪😆😬
I wrote on Tom English's column in Sept 24 and again in Nov 24 just before the wee run of good results....I had him outof here in early Sept....what I have seen in the past month from the team has changed my views. Is it the manager or is it the attitude of the players. Who knows.....still need to produce more performances like we have had recently....our luck will change....its only a matter of time....🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
In Phil we trust...keep going.....get rid of Dessers and Dowell, centre half needed in January
I feel like something is clicking to sack him now would just be biting our own nose off to spite our face
I can't help but feel the same
6 0 Killie
3 0 Ross county
1 1 spurs
3 3 ( 5 4 pens ) Celtic
By far the best we've played this season
@@cjnovo9922 wins against bottom half spfl teams, a draw against a bottom half premier league team and a loss to your biggest rivals then.
How can you bite your own nose off?😂😂😂
@@stevenreilly697 depends how big it is
@@TomCL-vb6xc shouldn't of been a loss if we was awarded a penalty in extra time that should of been given we go on to win that in my opinion
Everyone has a right to their opinion cj, and everyone can change them too. Only a fool doesn't change their mind when presented with facts.
Have you always thought that (That was to easy and had to be asked) 🤣🤣🤣
@@I.B.Rox1962Eh??? wtf u on about😂😂😂
There’s been a massive improvement. One penalty missed, and another penalty not given, meant the difference between a win and loss. This was not his fault. It was a roll of the dice.
I respect you. Celtic fan. Watch your videos. Always measured and you're bang on here. Rangers were better in the game and stopped Celtic playing well and played ok themselves.
Not Blaming Clement for Sunday's defeat we've improved in recent weeks and while it has taken a bit longer than we'd have liked, it is happening.
Been saying it elsewhere, but the last few weeks has me one foot back on the PC train. Holding on very tight in the knowledge my foot may come very quickly back off, but a foot back on none the less. Asked for progress. Now im seeing it. It must be sustained though. The game on the 2nd is really a must win or rest assured the toxicity will be just around the corner.
On the button with that mate
Everyone needs to calm down. Keep the faith!! Firstly, we didn't lose on Sunday... It was a draw and they won the cup on Penalties and that happens.. The penalty decision was a horror show!! But the big picture is were improving... Our enemy is flipping managers and players... We need to stick this out to create success!
We need to keep growing from here
Aye we played well on Sunday, but putting Ridvan and Butland in your top 5 pens, is ludicrous. Dessers can't even be trusted but he should have been gagging to take one. Celtic had 5 top pen takers, we didn't.
We all have completely underestimated how difficult a job it is the now. PC trying to build a new winning team with zero resources , zero hierarchy, zero structure, zero stability. Should have won us two trophies......i think he's done great. For a while I was hating on him but nae we've all gotta chill and appreciate where we're at the now. Let's go pump them in a couple weeks then kick on from there. Get a good European run. Sell on some assets for a tidy profit in the summer and get this player trading model on the fukin road already. No more time to waste. 2 years max for our best players , punt them for good money and go again.All I NEED to see is that Dessers leaving in Jan....hes killing us. Good stats but he's holding us back
Don't be stupid. Had enough of these people giving it "he's been dealt one of the worst squads in Rangers history, and there's not much he could do with this squad, but he's lost too many games and he has to go." It just doesn't add up, it's time to wake up and smell the bacon guys, our squad right now is just objectively not as good as Celtic's, and it's gonna take a while to catch up, but in order to get any chance of catching up, we need a good coach.
Anybody claiming that Clement isn't good enough to be at Rangers is living in the 1990's, Scotland is small time compared to the Belgian league, and he's won it 3 times, he's took a Monaco squad from a relegation scrap to the top 3 in Ligue 1. It's a much different league in Scotland granted, and it took a while for the penny to drop, but has now, and we're improving. But no let's look the fact that he hasn't beat Celtic yet for one second, boot him immediately, and start the cycle over again. Only this time with some no name bloke from the championship or something, I'm sure he'll win the league next year.
Like do you want us to improve or not? It's like some fans go out of their way to be reactionary for no reason other than "oh it's Rangers we need to win the league every year" it hasn't been that way for ages now, and it's never gonna be that way again if we continue this cycle. Most of the people who want Clement out just aren't paying attention and they aren't actually watching games.
If you like your keeper and centre half’s hoofing the ball up the park every time they get,carry on lads 👏
If the performance of the team didn’t improve like the way it has recently, I would be clement out. I have faith in the guy
I'm willing to give him at least a couple of months
My point is what made him change his mind about his tactics that’s got them playing as a team
I thought Bajrami had his best game for us, he’s the first player in a few seasons to stop their captain swanning about the park and the difference was the bench nothing more mate 👍🇬🇧👏🏻👏🏻
I agree with you CJ.
I feel that Phil has finally "let off the handbrake" but its taken his job on the line to get to this phase.
Weve been hampered with injury upon injury and i feel sorry for our manager everytime a player limps off the park.
Igamane,Raskin and Hagi have been a wake up call to whats been needed for so long in gers team.
Barron will give his all but maybe still too defensively minded.
Dunno why but i have a feeling cortez once fit will be lethal.
Anyway, i want Phil to stay and expect us to start annihilating spl teams from now on.
To all the Gers fans on here… (and I am here because CJ’s videos are brill)…
I really hate to say but we have not kicked our own backsides since the 6-0 game against Aberdeen.
Which means…
you can’t judge yesterday as the new gap I’m afraid.
We will hit a run again but at the minute we are doing enough to win games. Some by more than a few goals and some close.
We crack on 💪💙
I think I'm the same as many. Wanted him gone a few weeks ago, but the improvement in the last few games gives me hope. The nagging doubt though, is how long it took him to change things. The supporters were crying out for changes like resting Tav for Sterling or Nana. Get Dessers out of the starting lineup etc. It felt like he only made those changes when he had no option left rather than being proactive about it.
If he doesn’t beat Celtic on January 2nd I don’t see how he can remain in place.
What if he loses every game between now and then and beats Celtic 5-0 on the 2nd…..🤷🏻♀️ focus on the next game
@@lynseyniven1298then he would be sacked
Big call to make with the January window around the corner. I would give him tonthe end of the season he probably deserves that.
His favourites? You are telling half a story CJ. He hasn’t had the players to choose from up until recently. Danilo has been injured, Igamane hasn’t been fit/ready enough and Hagi wasn’t available and when he was available, he made himself unavailable by getting sent off! Clement has more options now and he is using the options well.
It’s strange, I was clement out, but I do feel like this man can win here, I think it’s work behind the scenes that needs doing.
I was talking to a mate at work today abouts this, i honestly think he needs to win against them in January and if he doesnt he has to go unfortunately, my mate disagreed with that.
He's bought time. It's headed in the right direction. Pointless to make changes now. Keep the momentum going.
Please keep him he's fantastic.
The big thing clement needs to do is get tav and dessers out of the starting 11 rotation players that are holding us back and are going to cost him a job. If he is to go forward he needs to do what other manager havent and drop the problems if hes going to stay employed. Get tav, dessers, dowell etc sold in jan and get some cheap replacements in for rotation or to even fight for a position cause these players dont fight for us they know if they dont dtart one week theyll get rotated in at some point and collect their weekly wage win lose or draw
He`s still on probation, last wwek is done but the pressure is still on, he still has to get rid of the dead wood. Great vid.
I think he WILL get rid of the players that aren't producing. Look at the list of players that he got rid of in the summer....he clearly knows who the crap ones are....

The man is mopping up a huge mess with only a few strands on his mop, give his mop time to grow, keep the faith 🇬🇧
I've not heard what you said yet . But recently he was up there with Maggie Thatcher for me but tbh after the last 4 games I'm like well maybe he's coming good as he did have a few player problems but he certainly didn't make it easy for himself either. Sometimes I'm totally baffled by his line ups and subs , formation etc. But I'm enjoying the team atm so just maybe. I think keep him for a while and see . Last chance
We can at last see we are going in the right direction, we cannae keep sacking managers,
A mini clearout , of Dessers Dowel and Montondo even Lawrence ,should raise some much needed funds,this season can still be used to build a positive solid squad capable of doing over the unwashed, keep the faith🤚🏻❤️🗡️🛡️🇬🇧
Any ideas
I've done a complete 180 in the last month....defo backing the gaffer now. We've clearly turned a corner.
CJ really good video, spot on with your analysis but why has it taken so long to be where we are now, to be honest we need to get rid of our old players and invest in youth this season.
6 weeks ago I was one them who's was calling for him to go,but then you think what he's done getting rid of all the dead wood and bringing in a new team that are starting to click so now I say give the man a chance , even if we bring in a new manager. Then we would have to start from scratch again see who he brings in Jan, take it from there .
Only reason he’s changed tactics was because his arse was on the line. He had to do something because new ceo was coming in. Be back to the usual at weekend.
I think the real thing is the next 4 games are vital. I think je needs a minimum of 10 points in this games before i am willing to put ny faith back in him. Hes made all rhe right things but i also gives me the fear how long it took him to change the system. Like if this system starts to fail is it also gonna take him another what 10-15 games to change it? Thwts what really scares me personally
I have faith that Clement is trying his best wae nuhin . He promised us improvement as he had a bit more than nuhin because of the improvements in the people available tae him. Despite these recent improvements he has yet tae beat our closest rivals.Thats no good enough and our players have been playin worse than we were at the bottom of the league structure. Dae I want him the have the team playing every game like we do in Europe? AbsoFlutely. Is his time up? I dunno.
We should be discussing the horrific long ball football we play,trying to win a second ball shouldn't be our tactic
I wanted him gone a few weeks ago.. but he’s changed my mind.. he’s tweaked it and it’s worked.. ok we lost but a baw hair away from winning it..
An honest summary, Craig, your gaffer has genuinely been turning things round for the better for weeks now and you've still got plenty to play for too, regardless of what any naysayers claim to the contrary. Looking at things at face value for the past two games, i.e., a win and a draw, makes things look poor at best, but that's not the case at all when we take into consideration the manner of those results, the Gers' performances and the fact that your team was a whisker away from winning them both.
As for the big Dessers scenario, if I was Phil Clement I'd genuinely be playing young Alex Lowry up front as a 'false nine' before I gave Cyriel any more minutes. I heard Saint-Étienne are interested in him? In that case, my best advice to Cyriel would be to take the offer and go.
What baffles me is things have improved on the pitch which seems to suggest he’s willingly set the team up to play crap for too long. Why would he do that?
Our last 3 games we played with two men up front before cup final done great why change against celtic be brave which i thought we had nothing to lose when u look at the game that could have made the difference
There’s always going to be hiccups with inexperienced players, part and parcel of learning, maybe sometimes there’s been too much inexperience in the starting lineup, regardless of quality and potential of youngsters, But there’s no doubt the players are developing,
The gaffer is showing he has the know how to take the club forward
Clement should have ironed out the creases pre season we’ve had nothing except the last two weeks I hope the team does go forward and have a good rest of the season but the dead weight’s need to be off loaded and we all know who we’re talking about
Yes performances have improved but Clement still makes VERY bad decisions like bringing Dowell on in the final and starting Tavenier. Has he really changed lets see what happens when Lawrence is fit again and he drops Hagi.
Great video as always CJ! In my opinion we need to strengthen the defence a solid CB to partner Soapy, get the likesof dessers dowel Lawrence out the club, hopefully get a left winger midfielder because Cortes is made out of paper mache and can't be trusted and a solid reliable RB. Wish it was as easy as that 😂. I think we're starting to see a good core of leaders in soutter raskin hagi Bajrami ect build around them
