TAFKA 545 Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 Don't always listen to Radio Sellik but caught a wee comment last night about Clarke.Apparently he is still on "gardening leave" after leaving West Brom but that ends when his contract runs out in May.He'll be rested, looking to start earning again and take on a new challenge.I'm still hoping for McInnes but I would be happy with Clarke.All of this is, of course, dependent on the 125 day (so far) review, GW showing some leadership and getting Ally out the door ASAP.Not another "Ally oot" thread, more of a "how would Stevie Clarke do and would he come to us" thread Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

DP FC 400 Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 You should be aware that Stevie Clarke was brought up on the dark side.He wouldn't be given any leeway because of this. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

GOAT 30,449 Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 Our next manager can't come from Britain. With the exception of Ferguson, British managers of the last 20 years are underachievers. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

HuistraHairDo 12,449 Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 Clarke is the only British manager I would take at the minute, some of the football he had West Brom playing was fantastic, West Brom have also been in decline since he left.

With the exception of Ferguson, British managers of the last 20 years are underachievers.Other than Mourinho, most of the foreign managers have been underachievers over the last ten years. Wenger and Benitez spring to mind. AVB didn't do too well, Scholari as well. Even Ancelloti probably dipped a bit. Problem actually is we don't seem to reckon British managers can manage the top teams, Ferguson excepted. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good luck because the EC one wasn't even in my lifetime...How many Biritish managers have there been over the last ten years at Chelsea, Arsenal, Man City and Liverpool? My point is any chance of being successful is restricted if you can't get the top jobs with the top budgets, as European football in particular is being more and more dominated by hard cash and for some reason British managers just don't get a look in.George Graham, Kenny Dalglish and Howard Wilkinson won trophies at the top of English football in the eary mid/nineties. George Grahma took Arsenal to a Cup Winners Cup I believe. And I would not denigrate that.My point about the failures of many foreign coaches at the top of English football stands.

Courtyard Bear 41,357 Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 Dalglish and Clough. You could technically put Ron Saunders in there he left Villa just before they won the EC but it was his team. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
