Love, as they say, is blind.
Sevco’s bellicose Belgian has been stung by Cupid’s arrow.
The projectile was tipped with the highly contagious Rangersitis.
You just got to love such a hopeless romantic.
However, in another part of the Fitba multiverse, perhaps a more venal chap just signed up for a contract extension at the building site that John Brown played for.
I imagine such a deal could involve, say, £6.5m compensation for any other Engine Room Subsidiary that wanted dear Philippe’s signature.
Of course, it would be especially sneaky if the manager in question would receive 50% of any payout to his beloved Holding Company Vehicle.
I’m also imagining that such a deal would also cover that seasonal Sevco event, the sacking of the manager as the nights draw in.
Let’s speculate that the other Philippe is due, say, compensation equivalent to two and a half years salary, which would make him essentially in with the brick, if not the concrete, at the empty amphitheatre on Edmiston Drive.
That said, will he still be there to take a glug out of the Loving Cup in the new year?
Now, I’d love to know the answer to that one.
The length of the contract matters not: he can always be resigned…..
I just heard that the Sevco bunch have settled out of court with Elite.
Wonder how much the will … ahem cough up?
Has a BBC reporter seen a verbal offer from Beijing seeking the services of the smitten supremo ? Not sure a financially strapped company upping the compensation package for someone who might “sell the jerseys” and get himself outta jail with his pockets jingling is a great idea. A few bad results and the Bearz will be Belgian Bealing
When the hordes start baying he won’t be staying
When his team fecks it, he’ll be shown the exit.
And in the real world Monsieur Clément has admitted that his squad is no better than last years,

I’ve fallen in love with Chicken Kiev, makes a wee change from the popcorn, jelly and ice cream. Just need a big cup to wash it all down.
Well, his agent has done an excellent job! 🙂
Looks like Bennett has locked Clement inside ibrox for the season at least:
regardless of the results?
Alternatively, how could sevco attract a decent manager with no stadium, a poor squad
and no transfer budget for the foreseeable future?
At least Bennett doesn’t have to worry about his manager doing a runner.
“the building site John Brown played for”
🙂
On the basis of the evidence available so far, there’ll be rousing choruses of “Klemmon, Klemmon get tae f***!” rolling out of the stands at Hampden well before the clocks change…. getting in to the Champions League might save him on a ‘jam tomorrow’ basis as even in the event that they did make the group stages, there’d be 3 or 4 days of the transfer window left to do any business by the time it was confirmed.
If you were sure Philippe’s Revolution! was the one that would bring in heaps of money for peepul with minds that hate, all I can tell is, brother, you have to wait…..
Financially he may have to be. Managers are normally sought on their achievements. From what I saw on Saturday third place may be his best this season. No team in their right mind will pay anything for a dud.
The klan will be rioting before we see Santa..he’ll be away before he plays another game at ibrox.
They’ll be racing us to boo the jolly fat bloke this year then. But we can guarantee that Santa won’t be presenting the trophy at the building site John Brown played for come May
