Cajun Posted November 18, 2009 Share Posted November 18, 2009 Perfectly fair questions to which i honestly don't have a concrete answer too. I don't know - but recent history pretty much proves it. I'd imagine it is something to do with the tempo of the leagues and the way you handle different types of footballer - the zillionaires of the Premier League compared to the modestly paid players of League 2; it's just a different kettle of fish altogether in so many ways. Money's a massive factor altogether i'd say, transfers inc. Look at the turgid crap Lawrie Sanchez brought in when he all of a sudden had loadsa money to play with; fair enough Hodgson came in and did something with it but Sanchez was a perfect example of someone who didn't know how to use money well. Paul Ince brought in a load of rubbish at Blackburn, too - the MK Dons captain ffs. The lower divisions are lightyears away; Christ - even this division we're in now is miles behind the Premiership. Tbh, my argument looks shit cos i honestly can't think of anything technical to back it up with - all i'm saying is look at those who have done it in the last four or five years. Jumped straight from a lower division to the Premiership; they've all more-or-less failed. Not really Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest optimistic nit Posted November 18, 2009 Share Posted November 18, 2009 to be honest i would say the problem with management at the moment is less about where they start and more about the game. it doesn't matter whether you start at the bottom or the top, money is the chief factor of success now and the only teams that have any chance of breaking the mould have experienced managers such as moyes or O'Neill. I cant think of any decent new manager that has succeeded in the premiership lately. Adams failed, Ince failed and Zola isnt doing well at all at the moment. To succeed as a modern manager you need resources and enough time to get your team playing the way you want to play and with the players you want. inexperienced managers are usually given neither.

Thespence Posted December 8, 2009 Share Posted December 8, 2009 Aye he was born in the Green Hospital but I was born @ Preston hospital & I ain't classing myself as N.Shields ffs I was at talk that he done a few years back just after he was let go by Fulham & after the main event I did ask him if he was "walker or Wallsend" & he said "walker" Aye just off Mullen Rd. He ended up giving that house to another footballer Paul Baker who was/is married to his sister. Loads of the players from that era used to get to the Powder Monkey on a Sunday & not one person was glassed or attacked by the Entertainers. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

macca888 Posted January 10, 2010 Share Posted January 10, 2010 I think he should go for it if offered. He is my favourite to manage Newcastle in a couple of years anyway when Hughton is finally removed. I would much rather have Clark than Shearer and a move to Burnley would give him the necessary PL experience to move to us later. Go for it, lad.

macca888 Posted January 11, 2010 Share Posted January 11, 2010 Bowling I am not one of those. I always liked the lad and I couldnt care less whether we sign Sunderland players as long as they do a job or sell players to Sunderland as long as they end up below us. He has obviously learned a lot from the likes of Keegan and the football he has Huddersfield playing is very good. Of all former players in management or contemplating management at the moment, I feel Clark has the best chance of suicceeding at NUFC in years to come, if he gain good experience at top level with someone else.

Agreed, always liked the bloke. I couldn't give a toss if players leave for rivals, at the end of the day their career is short and if that's the best move at the time, then that's fair - as long as they don't badmouth their previous club, it ain't a problem. Clarky was my hero when I was 7 or 8, promotion season when he was ever-present, and I'll always wish him the best. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRon Posted January 11, 2010 Share Posted January 11, 2010 I can't say I ever agreed with the idea of giving Clark a job at Newcastle without him proving himself first but fair play to him, he's doing exactly that. It would be great if he ended up manager of Newcastle one day on merit rather than because he was a former fans favourite. If he gets the job at Burnley I wish him all the best. Not many talented managers out there these days, it would be fantastic if the next one turned out to be one of our own. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
