Zorro Posted February 17, 2018 Report Share Posted February 17, 2018 Another week, another win, but every point lifts Steve Clarke’s profile and makes the vultures circle a little closer. So it’s time to get inventive and find the incentives for SC to stay long term. What’s it going to take? -39 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s not complicated, do you want him to stay or not? In your line of work, if you were performing above expectations you’d expect to be rewarded. If you didn’t feel valued you might consider other options. I’m suggesting it might be time to offer something tangible, rather than a bunch of forum halfwits bestowing the title “Sir” on Clarke. It’s not rocket surgery. -28 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skygod Posted February 17, 2018 Report Share Posted February 17, 2018 (edited) If he walks away, he's going to have face his family! Most supporters would understand and wish him well if a big club came and I don't think he would leave other than for a big club. He's spoken about loyalty, he's spoken about a 2.5 year project to reinstate the club to its position at the top of the Scottish game, he's said it's not about money. If he left for, say, Luton Town or Bristol Rovers he'd look a prize pillock. Like Lee Clark, in other words....

Lee Clark, in other words.... Can’t we become a big club? Jim McLean did it at United, Clough at Forest, why not Clarke at Killie? Bowie has set his sights on cup finals, top six, Europe and yet the forum mafia say we’ve just to enjoy being killie fans for now. Seems small time imo.

skygod Posted February 17, 2018 Report Share Posted February 17, 2018 It would take longer than 2.5 years to become a Champions League club, like Dundee United. If he's put a time limit on it then it's up to him if he is prepared to extend it. I hope and expect that he will at least lay the foundations for the club to become big again. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lets just roll out the red carpet for whoever decides they want him. Of course that's the case. The days of clubs like Forest and Dundee United competing well in Europe have gone - as I'm sure you know full well. Barcelona couldn't hold on to a player when he wanted to leave and if Steve Clarke gets an offer from down south that he likes then he will take it - and fair play to him. When he goes he will owe us nothing and he will leave us with great memories. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed, but a lack of ambition can turn you into a championship club like Dundee United in the blink of an eye. Theres a saying “strike while the iron’s hot” because the alternative “enjoy the iron being hot for now”, never really took off. -7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CardinalSpin Posted February 17, 2018 Report Share Posted February 17, 2018 Progression to Director of Football whenever he wants it.

You said you were insinuating that it would be possible to keep him. I’m proposing some inventiveness. Bonuses for meeting certain targets etc. Someone mentioned doubling the home crowd would help keep him; how about he gets a percentage of the income every extra fan generates for the club? Shares for achieving top six? A percentage of transfer fees? In any other business, perks to top up a lower salary would be normal. Why not for the best manager we’ve had in years?
