Given that Rangers’ performances do not align with the manager’s remarks to the media, Craig Moore thinks Philippe Clement is about to be fired.
The Gers only managed a 1-1 draw against Dundee United on Saturday, November 23, after falling down after Sam Dalby’s first-half goal, prompting new criticism of the Belgian.
Even though the Light Blues are now 11 points behind Old Firm rivals Celtic, supporters are becoming impatient with the team’s dismal performance. However, he has maintained his confidence in front of the media that he will turn things around.
“The manager is the one being attacked, and rightfully so,” Moore stated in an interview with the Go Radio Football Show [November 26]. He is responsible for raising the team’s performance to a level that reflects all we hear in the media.
It’s not looking well for Philippe Clement, unfortunately. The results are painful, and the performances are far from satisfactory.
Is Philippe Clement about to lose his job at Rangers?
Though some analysts think the Gers cannot really afford to let go of the Belgian anytime soon, pundits all have predictions about when Clement might be fired.
That may be the case, but the Light Blues’ present performance is simply untenable as they fall more and further behind Aberdeen and Celtic at the top of the Scottish Premiership standings.
The Gers’ upcoming games against Nice and Tottenham in the Europa League and a pivotal matchup against the Hoops in the Scottish League Cup final will probably reveal the true composition of the team.
It might be game over for Clement if the Gers fall any lower in the league standings, particularly when new CEO Patrick Stewart takes over at Ibrox next month.
Unsurprisingly, considering the circumstances, Clement remains upbeat in front of the media, and he will believe that he has what it takes to make things better. However, time is running short.
