And Mourinho at Chelsea, won plenty there. Winning the league cup with Liverpool and keeping west ham up might not be as prestigious, but they're significantly better achievements than the current coaching staff have on their CV's.

Massive budget at Liverpool, won a Carling Cup, leading to the sacking of manager. West Ham survived by the skin of their teeth, with the manager being sacked.

It seems his only "success" is being coach for a man who wins everything, everywhere with seemingly limitless budgets. I'm not surprised he has better achievements on his CV. Just not in the environment we are in.

Not really convinced why he has such a good rep.

Don't think you can really judge a coach by the results either way. Too many other factors....

it'd be nice, I think, as Clarke has an excellent reputation... Let's just assume Liverpool's bad results were King Kenny's fault... :D



there has to be a plus side of having LSL back at the club - doesn't there? can't he put in a word?

Didn't Clarke arrive as Lee left... maybe he took LSL's job!

I wonder if installing Sammy Lee as assistant has been considered. Surely he remembers enough from the Big Sam days to make us a little harder to beat.

As I mentioned in the West Ham thread I am sort of hoping they don't go up so Sam gets sacked, setting up a glorious reunion.

I was as pissed as anyone over the way he left us but after what's we've gone through since that day, all would be forgiven if he came back to the Reebok.

Nope

Too exspensive and i think the garty and sam friendship is finished so no chance of happening

I don't think he'd be too expensive. Not when you consider the cost of relegation.

But you're right about the Gartside/Sam partnership. Gartside would rather get us relegated than admit a mistake.

Actually, that's what he's just done, isn't it?

He would want his 300 back room staff back plus about 35 senior players who would be on alot more than we could afford not to mention most of them would probably be on the wrong side of 30

Nothing wrong with that setup but its not good for a club of our size and spending power that's half of the reason where in the trouble now

Im afraid that ship has sailed

Still the best manager the club has ever had tho
