It's taking a while to find a new club isn't it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oafc1955 Posted July 6, 2019 Share Posted July 6, 2019 He’s going to Portugal on their preseason training camp so they’ve probably recognised his value to a squad already. The guy will be a massive, massive loss to this club this season ..future manager potential without a shadow of a doubt and I hope it’s with us one day! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As did everyone connected with OAFC apart from the clowns that own it The guy will be a massive, massive loss to this club this season 100% ...future manager potential without a shadow of a doubt and I hope it’s with us one day! Unfortunately, not a hope in hell while the Lemmys are here. I seriously doubt Clarkey would even want to walk on the same side of the road as those two looneys 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suspect he will be a squad player for them though or he’ll help out coaching. He should be a a coach with us though. I wouldn’t want him as first choice now because all things must come to an end and relying on him at 38 would be lunacy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Midsblue Posted July 6, 2019 Share Posted July 6, 2019 Biggest mistake letting him go. He’d still play the whole season for us if he was here and be the best defender on the pitch. Fucking lunacy but nothing surprises me with those two fuckwits in charge. Nothing has made me think otherwise in the weeks of pre-season ... in fact it’s cemented my view of their fuckwittery. Unless we have 7 or 8 decent players lined up - 2 CBs, a playmaker, 2 strikers, a DM another fullback and a winger - then we’re fucked big style next season. That line up at the airport would have the opposition pissing themselves. Other clubs around us are signing decent players in numbers. We’ve signed two GKs, a fullback and a fucking Spanish donkey 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wiseowl Posted July 7, 2019 Share Posted July 7, 2019 Peter Clarke may or may not have another season in him. Personally, I think he will struggle to keep up with the pace for another year. However, as a leader of men and someone for the youngsters to learn from - absolutely invaluable. He could have been used sparingly in the first team in order to develop the likes of Stott and Hamer - just as he did with Edmundson. He was just a great guy to have around the club. Will be very sadly missed. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welshgaz Posted July 7, 2019 Share Posted July 7, 2019 I'm of the opinion that Edmundson wouldn't have shown up anywhere near as well if it wasn't for Clarke. Stott should be learning off him too this season. It's such a shame we've released him without so much as a thank you. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will be very sadly missed. Agree he could have been a good asset and mentor to the younger guys and has been an awesome player for us. However if the playing budget is tight which it clearly is, then you cannot just sign Clarke for another season to "use him sparingly". He's probably on a decent salary for a club like us, so if he wasn't up to playing pretty much every game then it was the correct decision to release him IMO. I 100% agree the way he was released was crap though. Also the relationship between him and owner seem to have become untenable so I would have thought even if offered a deal Clarke would have walked.

If the owner can justify re-signing Vera and offering Benteke a contract within the parameters of the current playing budget then Clarkey was definitely worth another 2 years... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Correct, it's shortsighted at best and the way we capitulated at the end of the relegation season should of been proof enough of his importance.
