Speculation Next Leicester manager

[Jeff]

Doesn't that apply to most of the reports and in deed postings on here

Yes. But most of us don't post a quote like this, making it sound like it's come from a reliable source without saying where it's come from.

Clark strikes me as more of a long term appointment than someone like Hughes would be which pleases me, despite his lack of any real experience of real achievement (the same could be said about Pearson when we hired him).

 

[drummindefender]

Hughes has done a good job really wherever he has been. My only worry about him is when given money at Man City he didn't half pay over the odds for some crap. Don't think he would want to come anyway.

Any potential interested "out of work managers" may be in the stands tomorrow

Some absolute conker has suggested Zola in todays Mercury!!!

What are these people on? This is the same man who brought Mido back to the EPL!!!

This Lee Clark storming the lower leagues business is all very well, but apart from MON, is there anybody else in the last 15 years that has come from League 1 or 2 and taken a team into the Premiership and kept them there?

Well no, but that's quite a specific question. Lots of lower league managers have succeded in the Prem over the years, there's not been that many recently - although Paul Lambert is making a decent fist of it so far this season - but that doesn't mean that lower league managers can't succeed.

I'm sure there's plenty. Tony Pulis and Sam Allardyce were the first who sprang to mind.

Kevin Keagan, the only manager to win it, twice, with two different clubs. He then almost went on to win the Prem - I'd luv it if we did that, luv it!

 

[Profondo Rosso]

Harry Redknapp is another obvious one.

Keegan didn't start out in Leagues One or Two though, he managed there after he'd already been at Newcastle.

George Burley.

 

[alex]

No

Wonder what Big Ron is doing these days

 

[Kingy_85]

Lee Clark is a risk. Under this pressure and with his first large transfer budget , god knows what would come from it!

Its paper talk.

 

[Profondo Rosso]

Wonder what Big Ron is doing these days

He's probably slumming it with Joe Royal, Glenn Hoddle, Terry Venables, Howard Wilkinson, Trevor Francis, George Graham, David Pleat, Graham Taylor, David O'Leary and all the other big name managers in the 90s who seem to have disappeared off the face of the managerial earth.

 

[olip6]

didn't someone say there would be a new manager in place by the weekend?

Someone may have said it, but no one at the club did.

 

[SJN-Fox]

They didn't say which weekend though.

 

[olip6]

fair enough.
