Breaking news: Sky Sports journalist’s verdict on Philippe Clement’s sacking after Celtic won the title
Dan Bardell has proposed that before making a decision regarding Philippe Clement’s future at Ibrox, Rangers should allow him a preseason and a transfer window.
With one match remaining, Celtic declared victory over Kilmarnock (15 May) 5-0, guaranteeing them the Scottish Premiership.
With a 2-1 Old Firm loss at Parkhead on May 11, Gers supporters had come to terms with the truth that the title had eluded them.
Talk about the Belgian’s future in the Ibrox dugout before the next season has begun has been prompted by this.
If Clement is successful with Rangers, writer Bardell from Sky Sports and talkSPORT thinks time will be crucial.
In an exclusive interview with Ibrox News, Bardell stated: “I don’t think you can see a manager at their best after half a season.” You’re under pressure to place second since, regrettably, second is last in Scotland.
“I believe he needs a little more time. He did a fantastic job getting them playing good and shooting toward the top when he first took over.
Allow him to work with the team during the preseason, bring in players that fit his vision, and allow the manager some time.
“The teams that have backed their manager and given him a chance this season have shown themselves to be the best right now; they haven’t just kept switching managers every few games. Give him a chance next season and see where they’re at.”
Should Rangers offer Philippe Clement further playing time?
The Light Blues’ disappointing campaign will come to an end without them winning the Scottish Premiership once more.
There is still hope that a cup may return to Ibrox since the Old Firm final, which will take place at Hampden Park, is approaching.
Considering the club’s state under Michael Beale’s leadership, Clement has done a commendable job of turning things around and injecting some optimism.
Some fans may have made the idea due to recency bias following a difficult period of performance.
Over the summer transfer window, there will probably be a large-scale departure from Rangers, which will allow Clement to make an impression on the team.
He can be assessed more carefully going into the next season as he has a preseason and a transfer window in his back pocket.
He is currently playing in the Scottish Premiership with a disorganized squad and some injuries that are hindering him.
Next season, Clement most definitely deserves a chance with his own team.
