Steve Clarke. New Assistant Manager this week?

[VillaAlways]

Would be fantastic if true.

[tomd2103]

Hopefully there is a something to this rumour. A very highly respected coach by all accounts.

Yep, he's held coaching positions at some of the top clubs, so I think it would be a good appointment.  It would be interesting timing considering where we are playing at the weekend!!

I've seen this on a few sites this morning. Anyone know if there is any truth in this and if so, what are the thoughts on it? Personally i'd be pleased with the appointment.

Well, now that Ads is out of the running, it would be a pretty good move

Clarke out!
Justice for the Ads 1!

Any relation to Kieran Clarke?

[rob_bridge]

Would be a great appointment.

[Toronto Villa]

It would be funny if Steve Clarke is our assistant manager as we roll into The Hawthorns

[Ozzjim]

He has a good reputation as a coach, and was harshly sacked by Albion when the bullet came. Would be a very interesting one, and much more of a threat to Lambert than Keane ever was I reckon.

or an asset

[Ozzjim]

Nope I was happy with "threat"

I am not sure Lambert would go for him.

What does TBAR say?

They was so excited and it caused an upsurge in the sale of digestive biscuits.

I'm not sure he can be considered a threat, if he comes in and does what he'd be brought in to do Lambert's position becomes safer and we effectively have a scout and a coach as the management team, which should work well.

[eamonn]

Really hope this is true. He's a better manager than Lambert so maybe he can take over when Lambert's nine lives run out.

[hilts_coolerking]

Cue Ringo-style 'He's not the best manager in the world...' gags.

[Rudy Can't Fail]

We desperately need a football man at the club and Clarke is certainly that. He'd certainly bring Villa into the 21st century. Only downside is he may also be the man to save Lambert's bacon.
