Dave Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 The BBC understands Lee Clark was sacked in 2 min phone call from chairman. Case with League Managers' Assoc for potential unfair dismissal. 11 minutes ago Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest neesy111 Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 Despite what there chairman has said seems like they've pushed the panic button. Though agree with mostly Sewelly has said. Suspect it could cost Huddersfield a few bob as well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 Got to love all the journalists who clearly don't follow League One in the slightest expressing their shock and dismay at this news whilst slating the opinions of people who pay to watch the team week in, week out. I've no idea whether it's the right decision or not but he's been there a while now so I'd imagine their fans have some sort of clue. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sifu Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 Well, I did not see this coming like. Thought Clark was doing a decent job for them - after all, he got them to the brink of promotion last season and I really think he would have got them promoted automatically come the end of this season. He got the club to go on a nice unbeaten run at one point which itself is a great achievement but drawing one too many games (which seems to have been the case for Huddersfield) can be a detriment at times imo - we saw that with us in the 2003/04 season. We drew too many games on the road that season and that ultimately cost us 4th place. Mind you though, sacking him now is a bit odd - guess it's automatic promotion or bust for them. Hmmm. If Clark does end up going to Leeds, then best of luck to him (even though it is a shitty club with scummy fans). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest H09 Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 Their fans seem split on this and most the one's who are glad he's gone seem to be asking for some big names like Mick McCarthy and Neil Warnock. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indeed but I reckon one thing that is safe to say is that Huddersfield will be in the playoff places come the end of the season. Although admittedly, that would depend on who they bring in as manager. If the "wrong" manager comes in, they could tail off badly but if the "right" one comes in (imo Simon Grayson), they could cement their place in the playoffs or even make a strong (final) push for the automatic place.

Not sure how accurate this is - but it looks roughly like he has broken even - http://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/en/huddersfield-town/transfers/verein_1110_2009.html EDIT - maybe he hasn't broken even - forgot he was appointed in 2008. Don't think it is as much as £1.3 million though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ponsaelius Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 I'd be fuming if I was a Huddersfield fan having journos and fans of other clubs telling me that I'm wrong about my own team, like.
