David Edgar shares how much Rangers will have to pay Clement in compensation to sack him

Philippe Clement would be in line to receive around £2million if Rangers are to part ways with him, according to David Edgar.

The Heart and Hand podcast host believes that’s the reason he wouldn’t opt to walk away from the job in the aftermath of the 2-1 defeat to Aberdeen.

After that result, Gers find themselves nine points adrift of the top of the table with serious questions being asked of Clement and his players.

Via X, Edgar wrote: “He won’t, would you? Would cost him about £2m. Nobody walks away from that.”

Rangers need to bring in someone to replace Philippe Clement as soon as possible

The £2million compensation fee attached to Clement’s contract might indeed delay the club’s decision to sack him, as this sum represents a significant financial commitment.

However, from a strategic standpoint, Rangers must weigh this immediate financial outlay against the potential for improved performance and success over the remainder of the season.

Given that the season can still be salvaged, with the possibility of closing the gap in the league and performing well in cup competitions, bringing in a new manager might offer a fresh tactical approach and motivational boost.

This could ultimately be more cost-effective and beneficial in terms of team morale, fan support and competitive standing, potentially justifying the expense if it leads to better results.

While the fee might cause hesitation, the long-term benefits of a managerial change could outweigh the immediate financial setback.
