Chris Sutton delivers emphatic rejoinder to Philippe Clement’s bizarre comments on Celtic resourcesChris Sutton consistently engages with matters pertaining to Celtic and is unwavering in his willingness to express his views on his former club.
Fortunately, Brendan Rodgers has adeptly led the Bhoys to an almost impeccable performance throughout this season across all competitions. Aside from the recent losses to Borussia Dortmund and their longstanding rivals last week, there has been little cause for dissatisfaction in the eastern part of the city.
The same cannot be asserted regarding Philippe Clement, particularly in light of his remarks concerning Celtic’s financial superiority over Rangers prior to his team’s loss of points in their away match against Dundee earlier this week.
The Belgian is currently experiencing a series of setbacks, leading to considerable discontent among his supporters regarding the disparity at the summit of the Scottish Premiership table.
Nevertheless, rather than concentrating on issues pertinent to his immediate environment, Clement has provided justifications for his inability to engage in competition with Celtic more frequently than he currently does. It is not unexpected that he seems to be on the verge of losing his employment, a situation that has garnered the interest of Chris Sutton.
Chris Sutton addresses Philippe Clement’s remarks regarding Celtic’s financial situation. In his column for the Daily Record, Sutton has criticised Clement for his absurd remarks regarding Celtic’s financial circumstances.
He astutely observes that the disparity in points within the standings can be attributed to the Belgian’s failure to secure victories against teams operating on a significantly lower budget, rather than any factors related to the Bhoys.
He remarked, “The quality of the Belgian waffle deteriorates with each passing week.” It is a succession of implausible justifications. Clement had the brass neck to talk about injury problems the other night when Dundee had 10 players out – including arguably their finest player in Lyall Cameron.
“Tony Docherty had two goalkeepers available on his substitute, in addition to other players who were scheduled to attend school the following day. Clement exhibited a degree of audacity, and his subtle jabs at Celtic’s financial resources are yet another source of amusement.
He cannot lament Celtic’s financial resources when he is unable to secure results against teams that possess only a fraction of the funds at his disposal.” Subsequently, he enquired, “Is Clement still in his position due to the Rangers’ inability to afford his dismissal?”
At what juncture do they arrive at the determination that they are unable to sustain his employment? Celtic currently exhibits considerable strength both on and off the pitch; however, this is unrelated to any inability to contend with other teams.
Brendan Rodgers will remain unaffected by external distractions. Excuses originating from external sources will not be of concern to Rodgers, nor should they be. Celtic currently occupies the pinnacle of the standings, a position earned through their commendable performance. Their consistency throughout this season has been truly exceptional.
