But Evilo was telling me how ouf Lyon was.
Yes and I was right. Textor has been toying with the idea of firing Sage for a while even though Lyon is 3 points out of CL spots and nicely placed in the El.
Now that Fonseca was available, Textor fired him.
Also worth noting that Sage refused to put Textor's wished starting XI because that's how toxic that man is.
 
@Evilo @Savi talk to me about Phillippe Clement so I can look really cultured and knowledgeable in front of people.

Ouch, I don't have much positive to say. He was not the man for the job at Monaco. Poor tacs, stubborn tacs even, lost the lockerroom in less than a few weeks....
As soon as he left, Monaco has been alive again.

@Savi will be more positive about him given his successes in Belgium.

Honestly I don't know if I can

Purely based on results, he did great. Won the league in his only full season in Genk, and won the league in both of his two full seasons in Bruges.

But at Brugge everyone was relieved Monaco signed him halfway through season 3. Even if results were good, and there was a lot of talent in the squad, the football got worse and more boring pretty fast after probably season 1. His relationship with the players wasn't great either, he alienated captain Ruud Vormer by basically lying to him which in turn angered the fans since Vormer was the most popular player in the team. As Evilo pointed out, he can be extremely stubborn and allergic to adaptation.

My guess is he'll do good things early on but in the long run...I don't know
That's Baldemort away after a year and a half. He was quite unpleasant and didn't really do much. Rangers being a shambles probably has more to do with it rather than any of his own failings but I doubt many will miss him.

only by the way he treated Hagi tells me everything I need to know

Hagi isn't the first player to have not been allowed to play for Rangers because it would trigger a contract extension they couldn't afford, I wouldn't take that personally.
