We were told what it'd take to get him (both compensation and budget he wanted). We never went back with a concrete offer. He then signed a new contract with Barrow. We've backed Unsworth far more than what Wild wanted in everything from backroom team to budget. Definitely backed the wrong horse!!

LaticMark Posted January 16, 2023 Share Posted January 16, 2023 Can a player on loan also be a caretaker manager? Asking for a friend. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's been talked about a bit on commentary and other places how keen he is to get to 1000 appearances.

oafc1955 Posted January 16, 2023 Share Posted January 16, 2023 He’s on 900+ so 2 seasons at least…he could be a player manager but I very much doubt the club would gamble on another unproven manager. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he'll get a season with us next year but might have to move on after that as I'm not sure he'll be able to do a job for us in League 2. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think it's as ridiculous an idea as you're making out. Clarke would be a risk - but so would anyone who hasn't managed before. Sheridan, Dowie, Wellens, LJ were a risk. To be honest I'm not fussed if Clark gives it a go or not. I just know we need someone else instead of Unsworth so am keeping an open mind.

nzlatic Posted January 16, 2023 Share Posted January 16, 2023 Do we even know if Clarke has done or is doing any coaching badges? No guarantee of a good manager obviously, but at least would show he was intending to do it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's still a key part of the first team for that reason it should be a no. The people you mentioned all had finished their careers so they could concentrate on being a manager. I'm yet to see a good example of a key player stepping in as manager while still being an important member of the first team knowone can do both. If we were looking for a replacement I'd go for someone like Askey who had success at York (Is he still available?) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clifford Posted January 16, 2023 Share Posted January 16, 2023 Why on earth would we want Clarke? Lower league plodder with no managerial or possibly even coaching record. If we are getting a whole new management team we want one that is tried and tested. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
