I don't know if he is staying or going, but Sean Jarvis is wording his statements very carefully. Clark recently negotiated rolling contract may have an automatic buy out clause, in which case Leicester don't need to approach town until it is a done deal and they just need to know where to deposit the compo. He also says Clark hasn't told the club anything, he hasn't said that Clark has not been actively pursuing the job, or that he hasn't been interviewed. There is a lot written between the lines in all of this. FWIW I hope he stays, because I don't want the boat rocking this season. But I think this whole scenario will have soured working relationships, and damaged our long term stability. I'm sure Deano is mightily pi553d off with Clark not immediately ruling himself out. The written response from Clibbens to a poster earlier this week suggested that LC would be foolish to rule himself out if he was to receive an offer that would be too good to refuse. I think maybe it might be better not to look between the lines and take words at face value until something changes

Unless Clark has ruled himself out directly to Deano sat having a cup of coffee in his office? Just because he hasn't done it publically doesn't mean he hasn't done it to the board and the team when they are at work. When i'm working on a project at work we don't constantly update the press on it, we just release a statement at the end of it. Maybe they haven't come out publically because all of this intrest is at the end of the day rasing the profile of the club, getting us talked about, get our name out there, raising LC's profile to other clubs which will help when trying to buy youngsters and get loans etc. No one on here has a clue what's going on.

As a Charlton fan I hope LC sticks with you guys, I dislike LCFC and what clubs like them stand for in the game. They have no loyalty or class. Also I would rather see us and yourselves take the top two places (although nothing is certain) than the arrogant lot from Hillsborough Nice of you to say so coz I would have thought you would be loving all this. If he goes and our season is knocked off the rails Charlton could be 12 points clear by Christmas and have it in the bag by Valentine's day!

Whilst I would love us to run away with the league I would rather it happened because of us and not because a rival was derailed. Always enjoyed our games over the years and you lot always strike me as a decent bunch. Hope you like coming second though

I don't think for a moment this will affect Deano and Clarks relationship. They are good friends as well as working together.
Would you rather Lee Clark echoed Eddie Howe when he told everyone that he wouldn't leave Bournemouth for Burnley?
Let Deano, Clarky and Terry Mac get on with taking our great club onward and upward.

Nice of you to say so coz I would have thought you would be loving all this. If he goes and our season is knocked off the rails Charlton could be 12 points clear by Christmas and have it in the bag by Valentine's day! Whilst I would love us to run away with the league I would rather it happened because of us and not because a rival was derailed. Always enjoyed our games over the years and you lot always strike me as a decent bunch. Hope you like coming second though Met some great Charlton fans when we were wandering round your ground last season. None of the delusions of grandeur you usually get from recently relegated Premiership sides that suddenly find themselves rubbing shoulders with the likes of us. So for that reason i'd be more than happy for you to take that 2nd place this season.

Another reason I want LC to stay is for the chance to break "the" run

Scissett, you've had another managerial 'mare on here no, just saying how i see it. what i said yesterday was what a bookie believed, i never quoted it was fact and we dont know it didnt happen. i still think he'll go and its far from finished by looks of it. however quoting this journo seems to have being a little silly!

It's funny how all these that were slagging talksport off are now creaming their knickers at what's been said by them.

Whatever the reason Im sure he has gone down in many fans' and possibly Dean's eyes. Doubt he will get brass to spend in January. Pretty sure he will not be here in June either if we don't go up. Until then though we need to forget the posturing and get behind him and the team.

All this speculation is pointless because none of us know what really happened behind the scenes. Was it a case of...
1. He was never interested in the first place because of loyalty to Town.
2. He was interested but owed it to himself and his family to see what Leicester had to say, but the chances of him moving were slim anyway.
3. He was interested and would have moved if the offer had been right.
4. He was interested and would have moved but failed the interview and so played the loyalty card to cover up this fact.
5. Any number of other possibilities not mentioned above.
Lets not just assume the worst motives eh and give the guy a bloody chance. We will probably never know the truth so lets just get behind him and the team - business as usual on Saturday.

I'm trying to be objective and wouldn't have been throwing my toys out of the pram if he'd gone and thought it was a better opportunity for him because he's not here for the love of the club but to progress his managerial career. After hearing his radio interview and the silence up until now I'd say it's most definitely number 4 though.
