Yes we sure can. All in the days when they were a comparatively less awful club, with an undesirable sectarian policy and followed by a nasty sectarian mob. They hadn’t yet become the self entitled, pseudo supremacist, big I AM, overreaching financially under David Murray, that eventually led to death of their club. Perhaps well now see a slow realisation that it was all an impossible dream to reinvent the club. They are now sleepwalking in to the “revenge of David King” who seems to be visiting upon them their worst nightmare. Ownership by a Catholic consortium, headed up by a fella called Cavenagh and a Chairman called Paddy.Quote:

That 1.2 figure was bollocks the first time it was reported. He's on a 4 year contract at approx 2.5 million a year due to an extension Sevco offered him. It'll cost them a fortune to fire him. Just another terrible financial decision by Sevco.Quote:

We'll see in the accounts but never in a month of Sundays would Clement have settled for a 6 month pay off when he was offered a 4 year extension by a Sevco in a weak bargaining position. I'll happily stick my neck out and say getting rid of them all will be closer to 10M than 1.2.Quote:
Originally Posted by Since90+2

No point banding about figures of 10 million as you done previously though when as we say nobody will know until the accounts.

1.25 million is chump change and he'd have been gone before now if the figure was that low. Anyway, I'm getting back to rubber necking the car crash they are and laughing at them.Quote:

Clement, Van Der Heyden & Rae away tonight. Issam Charai taking over as interim manager with Kevin Thomson comin up to first team, Brian Gilmour & Colin Stewart. Clement has agreed to waive 50% of pay off.
Got this from a Ranngers fan a few minutes ago
Agreed. Rangers are a financial mess but no danger they agreed to a contract paying clement 10 million if they had to get rid of him.Quote:

He actually started well by winning the League Cup and I think he had them top of the table for a while, but they're ultimately just miles off the pace when it comes to competing with Celtic.Quote:

Perhaps telling that he continued to have them playing quite well in Europe, away from the domestic scene.
Only real surprise was that he didn't go after the Queen's Park result, although I'm glad he stayed on long enough to win at Tynecastle.
A sad day, but he leaves some great memories :greengrinQuote:

Aren’t there tighter financial rules coming in from UEFA so they might not be allowed huge expenditure.
Yes, new rules relating to spending not exceeding turnover. It’s more strict than the likes of Chelsea, Man City and PSG were able to spend after takeovers, for example, but it could still be a huge boost for a club that has been relying upon loans from its owners to keep the lights on. Time will tell.Quote:

It’s odd timing to sack Clement, IMO. They’re finishing second this season regardless, they’re out of the cups but they’re going well in Europe. Unless they have a replacement lined up I can’t imagine who’d want to take over such a poisoned chalice of a role so it’s unlikely we’ll see a significant upturn in fortunes.
Just waiting for the 1st Gerrard to Rangers rumour 🙄Quote:

Queens Park with a St Mirren chaser has seen that come to pass with the hordes revolting and I expect Charrai to be wheeled into place to look after the shop until the 49'ers managerial appointment.
I don’t know if he’d take it. He seems pretty sensible with the jobs he takes.Quote:

Had to laugh on a facebook feed that Rangers fans had launched to go funding thingy to raise enough money to pay clement off to go.
Some wag immediately replied with
"We are the paypal" .... well made me laugh.
Yep gets the fans off their case simply thatQuote:

Hopefully they win every game other than against us for the rest of the season.
They then get the jobs full time and subsequently get relegated.

I guess it just goes to show that the pull of being directly involved in the game again trumps any punditry role for a lot of ex-players. Generally I've found McCann to be pretty decent as a match analyst but, while you'd think he might regard developing his media role as a more secure option, as soon as a club comes calling (perhaps Rangers in particular?) he's straight back into one of the shoogliest professions there is.Quote:
