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. Fair comment. I cannot decide myself which is most likely but innocent until proven guilty and all that.

If this is true, then Jack Hunt currently isn't at training - he "tweeted" 5 minutes ago with absolutely no mention of Elsie Just exactly who is Elsie.

Perhaps some people will try and convince themselves that it did.

Leicester and Clark seemed like a match made in hell to me.

I have never been a massive fan although he has won me around a bit this season. But I still think he deserves the benefit of the doubt in this case - as I say - unless something does come to light that shows gross disloyalty.

Even if he did interview then would fail the interview be the only option - maybe he didn't get assurances that he required and therefore stopped the process and committed to Town in. It would seem after this week he just can't win with some Town fans despite his quoted commitment to Town

Weighing it all up i have no doubt it's number 2 but unfortunately the cynics on here will fear losing their street cred too much to ever accept it. :fish:

Surely most likely...
5. He would have been interested just like youd expect/hope a manager with ambition would be in a job higher up the ladder if approached. But there wasn't an approach.
Given the criteria their chairman has repeated on a number of occasions...Lee Clark today wouldn't be a serious consideration for them.

I dont give a flying feck if he wants another job, as long as this time next year we are playing in the championship (with or without him)

I think if, and that's a big if, he has been approached, and he's listened to what they've had to offer, and then said, 'you know what, like what you're offering and cheers but I'm happy with this team I've built, on the verge of equalling an unbeaten record, working with a first class owner, top stadium and fans', then that shows a huge win for us, slap in t'face for them and might have been his plan all along.

Can you honestly say he'll have gone through this whole process, just to slap leicester (of all clubs) in the face? IMO, if he's been approached and turned them down, it's because he's not interested in the job. He might have listened to what they've got to offer, weighed it up with family, and decided he's better sticking at Town where he's built the club up into his own.
