Todd Cantwell looking energised again is one sign the Belgian manager knows what he is doing.
None of it is even remotely the fault of Philippe Clement. And yet, the similarities are difficult to ignore nonetheless.
Sir David Murray started it all when he chased after Le Guen only to discover a few months later that his star candidate was so completely disinterested in holding down the position that he hadn’t even bothered to unpack the cardboard boxes in his garage. Le Guen lasted just 240 days but the catastrophic damage done in that short space of time was close to jaw dropping.
Gerrard might have been box office. But it was a punt which might have gone down as little more than a publicity stunt gone wrong had it not been for the sheer weight of the Scouser’s personality and instinctive will to win. Even so, in more than three years at the helm he returned just one solitary trophy.
Souness will also have sat down at least once with Clement and it seems impossible not to conclude that the former Bruges and Monaco manager must have made an impression on the man who was responsible for bringing Smith to the club as his trusted assistant in the first place.
And that will be the key issue with which the new Clement has to grapple now that he’s the man in charge. He has inherited a dressing room full of Jeremy Clements – players who, in a short space of time, have proved themselves to be completely out of their depth.
