18yardhero Posted October 6, 2017 Report Share Posted October 6, 2017 Clarke fits the bill Baz described earlier in the thread, definitely head and shoulders above the rest of the candidates and of a much higher calibre than we could ever have hoped for surely? Medals as a player, medals as a coach, tactical knowledge aplenty, more contacts than Specsavers and can you imagine the amount of respect the players would have for him given what he's achieved in the game! No more toilet bag nonsense. I'd imagine he'd be loaded so money wouldn't be a motivating factor, let's hope that if we are talking to him (not spotted in ASDA yet) that we can sell him a club that has potential to go places other than down.

piffer Posted October 6, 2017 Report Share Posted October 6, 2017 (edited) One of the Sky twitter accounts claiming Mixu is under consideration for the job.

SlimStripey Posted October 6, 2017 Report Share Posted October 6, 2017 Clarke is an absolute standout on that list. No disrespect to the other candidates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doonhamer Posted October 6, 2017 Report Share Posted October 6, 2017 Have a look on the odds checker website. It makes interesting reading. Stevie Clark isn't even listed. John Hughes is favourite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it is to be Mixu, thats underwhelming and goes against what @baz was told in his post about not bringing anyone back. I'd be disappointed if it were him as he's done nothing to fill me with optimism based on his struggle at Dundee Utd. No thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skygod Posted October 6, 2017 Report Share Posted October 6, 2017 Has slipped down to the third tier in Spain, I think. Nothing special. I think he only played for a few months anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Steve Clarke would be a great choice but the cost of him and the team he would want to bring would be astronomical, I think. Guys who operate at his level have assistants, coaches, fitness coaches, sports scientists, scouts, analysts etc to support them. How would he do without them? This is the basics that EVERY club should have! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_new_gaffer Posted October 6, 2017 Report Share Posted October 6, 2017 I’d personally put money towards bringing Clarke in. This would be the biggest appointment to happen to our club in my generation. Look at the buzz that’s appeared in here since he got put favourite, I’d actually look forward to the cold wet nights in a dark dens Park. This could be the moment our club is totally overhauled.

BigYin Posted October 6, 2017 Report Share Posted October 6, 2017 Steve Clarke would be a fantastic appointment! Has coached at great clubs and workers under some terrific managers. It all feels a little to good to be true and we’re getting our hopes and will be disappointed when Mixu or McIntyre are unveiled. Keeping my fingers crossed in the meantime it’s going to be Clarke!
