The Official Next Manager Discussion Thread

The Mirror are touting it as an exclusive that new Fulham manager will be - Steve Zodiac sorry Clarke


Clarke was interviewed before Kit got the job at Fulham and the owner was said to be impressed. Clarke believes that Fulham have grater potential than Reading.


All from Mirror Twitter Accounts.

May be all rubbish but that is what is being said.

Didn't do the final numbers but Clarkes win ratio could actually be worse than kits. I'd like it to be a rolling contract if it has to be Clarke.

[westcliff white]

over both West Brom and Reading its a 33.5% win ratio

about what kit was on. Seems like a strange choice to me. Especially as we would have to pay to get him

[mike_corkcity12]

So Rigg has chosen Clarke. Presumably Pearson did not want to work for him. Uninspired choice. Poor win ratio.

Just bang average isn't he?

Who knows, he might do a tigana, but personally, I see nothing inspiring if true. Hell it's the one manager kit actually got one over on

Talks tomorrow. No deal agreed with Clarke or Reading.

Kits is 34.5%

Kits is 34.5%

it makes you wonder if we actually take results into account when looking at potential replacements

Many reading fans think Clark has lost the dressing room.

Wouldn't it be great to be on the manager merry-go-round.

Apparently many girls say as a career option "I want to be a celebrity"

Jeeez, if I was 14 I might think "I want to be one of those manager names that gets the job and is sacked with a multi million payoff, then moves on".

I'm being serious. If Steve Evans can do it, how bloody hard can it be?

yes they started the season well but then went on a massive run of games without a win. Inconsistent you might say. I refuse to believe this rumour as it makes no sense.

[St. Andrews White]

Sounds like rubbish to me, but rumour is Clarke or his PA has announced it on twitter.
Haven't checked but as I said it sounds like garbage to me.

[Ordar]

Clarke is 1/12 on to get the job with Skybet. I would be surprised now if its not him unless Reading wont release him/we cant agree compensation. If there is one thing Clarke is famous for when he worked as defensive coach at both Chelsea and Liverpool was coaching the defenders up to have the best records in the league.

If there is one thing we badly need....

[rusty shackleford]

You just know Pearson will end up at Reading

[EJL]

Reading winless in their last five

[Lighthouse]

Let's face it. Whoever is to become our next Coach/ Manager there will be the usual complaints and moans from fans. All wanting a different outcome. Pearson was disliked by many and now Clarke is favourite Pearson suddenly becomes very popular amongst the chattering classes.

The day I understand the club or the fans will be the day I walk away from Fulham for good. Whoever is to become the next man in charge, good luck to him. We will be on his back soon enough.

[Loz]

Good luck to the successful candidate, of course, but I supported sacking Kit because I understood the move to be about ambition, about bringing in someone with the experience required to launch us back into the Prem- I didn't think it would just mean pinching an inexperienced, unproven Reading boss because his team are a couple of places above us and the guy seems wiling to work with a diminished job title which fits nicely into Rigg's corporate restructuring project.

Don't normally post such pessimistic comment, but I have to say I'm disappointed.

[EJL]

Very, very speculative. Rigg has specified that he wants a head coach, but it doesn't mean Clarke or whoever's appointed will be some pushover yes man. I get that people are concerned but it's just like the whole thing with criticising Khan's investment when results weren't going our way. We simply don't know and there's not enough info out there to even act like we do either.

[Ichabod Magoo]

If it was a choice between Clarke and Clark, I guess I'd take Clarke with an "e".  I wonder if Rigg will discuss his future sacking with him like he did with Kit.
