bombarded with tweets - once again - no approach from lcfc and no mention from LC interest in the job #nothingschanged

We do well with young 'up and coming' managers.

Taylor, Sousa, Holloway, Allen, Levein, Kelly...

Could probably add Mickey Adams to that too (well post La Managa anyway)

Disagree. He was a good manager for us imo.

Although Kelly did the job here, I don't think he could really be classed as an up and coming manager - he was just a caretaker who got the job because we couldn't afford anyone else. I don't think he managed in a permanent capacity before us or since he left.

Fair point. Was just pointing out this myth people seem to have that all up and coming managers do well here, they have just as often, if not more often, been disastrous. Not saying that Clark will be and I obviously hope he isn't, of course.

He had a good season in the Championship with what was essentially a premiership side. Premiership - we made a decent fist of it, but he was scarred by La Managa and he cocked up our promotion challenge after we came back down.

Ultimately if he was a good manager, he would have either been poached from us, be managing a bigger/reasonable sized club or still be here. Non of these are true.

I disagree. We made more than "a good fist of it" in the PL considering how bankrupt we were at the time and we did an excellent job going up considering the circumstances too.

That last bit is utter bullshit, what does any of that have to do with the job he did here? He did a good job because he did a good job, simple as that. Nothing to do with whether he was poached or not or where he is managing 7 years on.

Didn't hear it myself, but allegedly it's just been on BBC Radio Leeds that Lee Clark will be confirmed as Leicester manager later today.

 

[ndchester]

Come on, own up, who has updated Wikipedia. It must be true

"Lee Robert Clark (born 26 October 1972) is an English former footballer, who is now manager of Leicester City. He had previously been the assistant manager at Norwich City."

Alright, calm down. Of course it has something to do with it, because it's a comment on how other clubs viewed his time here.

 

[Hazzman]

Couple of BBC journo's report that Huddersfield players told at training Clark is off to Leicester.

James Nursey (Mirror journo) has said the same.

This Sean Jarvis is adamant we've not approached them or Lee Clark.

 

[Nottingham Fox]

Talksport saying Lee Clark has ruled himself out ....

 

[Fox Fan]

Meanwhile Stringer hasn't said a word - he may know something / still be in bed.

 

[Doggie_muz]

Of course the really big question is what word we will put in front of "Lee Clarke's" to make it scan with "Blue and White Army". Or will we just stretch Lee out to fill two syllables' spaces?

Young Lee Clarke's
BlueWhite Army...

Needs work...

 

[ChrisFilter]

OK, so not Clark then. Will the bookies re-open or do they know something else?

 

[Nottingham Fox]

Stan James and ##### re-opened. Lee Clark still odds on fav with both.

 

[Spanky Fox]

This is getting even more confusing!!!

Now 2/1 and 7/4 respectively.
