Lee Clark

[severnside gull]

So he's sacked after 3 defeats in 55 League matches? A quite remarkable decision.

not really though is it? He is good at not losing games but with the resources available to them should be winning enough to at least be up there challenging an automatic promotion place. As it is they look like they could lose out again.

Don't understand the hype around Clarke. He has failed to get a well invested Huddersfield team promoted twice, when they really should have and seemed to be messing it up for them this season as well.

The Huddersfield fans on here seem to agree as they're DELIGHTED he's gone:

DATM - Down At The Mac - Huddersfield Town Forum - CLARK GONE?

Interesting decision.

I bet Leeds are involved in the somewhere!

Not bad is it, you go on a recordbreaking run, were unlucky against teh Blades last night and get sacked by a money grabbing parasite.

 

[Austrian Gull]

If I were a Huddersfield fan, I'd be bemused as to what the board is up to.

A few weeks ago, they refused Clark the chance to speak to Leicester where he seemed to be the top candidate. Now they've sacked him . presumably paying him a fat slice for redundancy when they could have picked up the compo from Leicester.

Strange stuff.

Should have gone up with us last season then blew it in the playoffs and doing the same this season. What is the point of drawing 3 games, same as winning 1 and losing 2 and that is where they went wrong

According to SSN he is considering an unfair dismissal claim which does not suggest he has another job lined up.

Robbie Simpson, Banik Afobe, Jordan Rhodes, Theo Robinson, Alan Lee, Joe Garner, Danny Cadamarteri, Lee Novak, Gary Roberts, Anthony Pilkington. Would it be fair to surmise that at different times with that attacking talent at your disposal you may just be expected to have managed to get a team out of the 3rd tier? Of course it would.

Biggest Budget in League one for the last two years, and yet Charlton are 12 points above them.

Or you could say the chairman is a lifelong fan of the club & with the millions he has spent he might think they should be in the automatic spots for promotion. A lot of people think Clark is overated, time will tell.

there is a hell of a lot going on in the background with the ownership of the ground/kirklees council and Hudders Giants. Clarke was becoming embroiled in the p[olitics and I wonder if it was seen as a good time to ditch him.

there is correspondance the Examiner picked up suggesting HTFC vacate the ground and look to relocate.

Its getting very messy

 

[jharris]

hmm. what money on
Grayson to Huddersfield and Clark to Leeds ?

 

[Mellor 3 Ward 4]

Warnock would get them up.

Warnock would get them up.

he did before...I was at the playoff final when Town beat bristol Rovers......warnock had a record of never losing a playoff final at that point.

Three defeats in 55 league matches. Is that bad then?

Bizarre!

 

[severnside gull]

he would lose.

(a) this is football and as such it is massively result-led
(b) despite having the highest budget in his division and substantial transfer funds they missed promotion last year
(c) as (b) but this year

Drawing games is great but you have to win matches to get promoted. Clark did not win enough and with the resources at his disposable that warrants dismissal

 

[albionalex]

I thought he'd get til the end of the season to get them up. My Huddersfield supporting mate was surprised he wasn't sacked after the play-off defeat.
