who couldn't give a monkeys toot if LC went. I'd be much more concerned if JR went.
It's no secret ive never thought too highly of the guy, although i have turned a slight corner, but unproven ambitious managers are ten a penny, 20 goal a season strikers....Now there hard to come by.
Plenty more fish in the sea.

Is that aimed at me, or is it your homage to Mr Clark? |

Plenty more fish in the sea. We're 41 games unbeaten and we've got 16 from the last possible 18 points. Not really sure what else Lee Clark or anyone else could be doing better. Any possible new manager is going to be on a hiding to nothing. |

Yep, on your lonesome mate. The impact of bringing some one else in could de-rail the season.In addition to which - he is doing a bloody good job

Have you not considered that LC may leave and JR may follow him Colt?! Or indeed that the new manager might not fancy some of our much vaunted current squad and would want to assemble his own men?!
We cant afford another season of squad churn and with LCs record this season we need him to stay and finish the ruddy job off, not wait for a new man to come in and change everything!

A new man would want his own backroom staff, his own players and his own spec training facilities, we need stability not upheaval.
We are starting to reap the rewards of standing by Clark, I just hope he stands by us.

Just because the loss of LC isnt seen as a disaster doesnt make me a hater. Much as our run has been a good one he hasn't got us promoted in the two previous attempts. In fact I would say that we were found wanting in both play offs. Be happy if he stays but if he goes more fool him and I would have every faith in Dean Hoyle finding a good replacement who isn't one of the failed championship managers constantly quoted on here. |

The more worrying thing is if Clark leaves he will want to bring his favorite playas from town with him, Rhodes,Hunt etc

Plenty more fish in the sea. You say plenty more fish in the sea............like who ?Ternip, Wanksworth, Richtea or Jacko I'm sorry but in my opinion your wrong. Clubs that chop and change their managers every other season do not progress, it's more of one step forward and two steps back. Just look at Fergie at Man U, he was one game away from being sacked and look at them now. By Clark leaving and a new manager coming in it would be far too unsettling at a time when we are flying. 41 unbeaten 2nd in the league scoring more than 2 points a game 16 points out of 18 in the last month. Who in your opinion are we going to get that can better that let alone match it ? |

I think he's doing a very good job and I would be disappointed to lose him. But if it happens then so be it, the club will be here long after Lee Clark has gone.
Peter Reid would be my choice as a more than adequate replacement. UTT.

If Clark did want to take some of our better players then he'd have to pay the asking prices he's been throwing around anyway, not to mention the fact that most of our "better" players wouldn't get in the Leicester team:
Hunt - They already took Peltier off us and have Pantsil as well.
Rhodes - Clark didn't even play him last season and would have to pay £5m for him.
Who else would he try and sign? We don't have any decent defenders for the Championship, Lee and Bennett have been 2 of our best performers but are likely too old to fancy leaving a team where they're enjoying regular football on good money. They have Schmeichael so likely won't need Smithies when he returns to fitness.
The only players I could see him MAYBE moving for would be Rhodes and Arfield, and he'd have to pay above and beyond to make Dean part with them.

Hope he stays but can't say i'd be too bothered if he did leave. The squad of players we have now is more than good enough to get promotion with a half decent manager

We are starting to reap the rewards of standing by Clark, I just hope he stands by us. Didn't see that it affected Bournemouth too much last season. And before you start with the "where are Bournemouth now", the fact they lost their manager has fuck all to do with it, now the fact they sold all their best players has. People turn dramas in to a crisis on here, i am quite happy for LC to stay and hopefully fulfil what he has been trying to do for the last 2 seasons, If he goes, i certainly won't lose any sleep and seriously don't think it will affect us to much. |

My answer is that no, you're not. But ye bloody gods I wish you were!! I just don't understand how you, and others who share your opinion, can sit there and say you wouldn't lose any sleep if LC went (or words to that effect). Have you taken leave of your senses? People say that he has achieved nothing because we haven't been promoted and that this run means nothing as a result. My goodness, trying to keep it clean, that annoys me. Have you forgotten what it was like (under whichever manager in recent times) when we couldn't buy an away point, let alone a win, to save our lives. When inconsistency was the bane of our lives. When, if we'd been offered a run of 41 games unbeaten we would have 1) laughed, 2) not believed the offer 3) on believing the offer SNATCHED THE DONOR'S FRIGGING HAND OFF. Which replacement manager would you welcome without losing any sleep over LC's departure in the expectation that he would replicate such a run or that he is capable of managing Town to attain such a standard. Brian Clough? Arsene Wenger? They are the only two to have LC's record in the last 30 or so years! I suggest that if LC had been manager of another League 1 side and achieved this run you would have been green with envy and if we were looking for a new manager would have been pleading with Dean to move heaven and earth to get the manager who's just put such a phenomenal, almost once in a lifetime run together. I know it's not all down to him. I know a lot of it is to do with Dean Hoyle, the ethos he's built at the club, the money he's made available, but none of it would have worked if LC hadn't played a huge part in the chemistry. And don't say lots of managers could have done it. We don't know that. We'll never know that. It seems unlikely considering how rare such a run is. But why take the chance on another manager to see if they can do it - let's just stick with the one who has done it and we KNOW can do it. Yes, we still have inconsistency of performance but let's remember our present inconsistency is between winning and drawing, our previous inconsistency was between winning, drawing and losing. So our inconsistency is at a higher level, like the inconsistency of Manure is at a higher level than the inconsistency of Town or Sadford. I don't know if he will go. I don't believe his decision will be swayed by what's on DATM. If he does go, Town will go on etc., etc.. I just feel that for you and others to say, or imply, that it would be no great loss if LC left is ridiculous. Yes, you're entitled to your opinion, and to be able to express it on this, a discussion board. But I'm also entitled to say that I find it difficult to express how wrong I think you are in your opinion. It would be a massive loss to this club if LC goes this season, and to think otherwise is wrong, to put it politely. (In my opinion of course.)  Phew - that's better! |

I don't want him to go but it's out of our hands IMO. If they really want him they will get him.
If he goes we have to move on, say thanks for your efforts get the right man in charge and get out of this crappy division. Taking a job on with a team that have a very good squad of players, lying second in the league with a fantastic chairman and infatructure is not exactly mission impossible.
I just get the feeling the pressure and expectation of the fans and owners may be too much too soon for him judging by some of the spats he's had here. But I suppose the guy has got to take the opportunity to progress when it arises.

Any manager coming into a third division set-up and finding our squad would be like a kid in a sweet factory.
I don't get the argument that he wouldn't rate our players and would want his own man. He would have to be told at the interview...this is what you've got...it's blatantly good enough...now get the job done...and a lot would be able to imo, without needing 4 goes!!

If Clark goes then imvho your season will be up in the air, new man comes in and he'll want to change everything.
Personally can't believe he's odds on fav now but tbf he could do a job at Leicester.

I'd be worried if it was me, last thing you needed was this, could really derail your season. Another thing, will Clark come back for all your decent players? If he stays then all is good until you go on a bad run then all the doom and gloom merchants will be saying that he should of gone lol. |
