McClaren and Clark is barely cause for optimism but by Christ am I relieved to see the end of the Pardew era. I say that fully aware that it could easily just be more of the same to come.

I'm not advocating for Lee Clarke by any means, but saying he'll be as bad as Carver is harsh at this point. Carver is never getting any team a 40 game unbeaten run, no matter who he manages or if he lives to be 10,000 years old.  Having 40 minute unbeaten run was a bit of a stretch for Carver most of the time.

Absolutely this.

Mirror article 1/6/15

 

Clark, who resigned two weeks ago, is a rare modern footballing man - a lifelong Newcastle United fan, with genuine concern for the way supporters feel increasingly disconnected from their clubs.

 

He said: “I’ll probably always side with supporters because I’m one of them. Players, managers and owners come and go but fans stay, it’s passed down from grandparents and great-grandparents.

 

“Nowadays players are often in a bubble, they don’t know the man in the street, they don’t understand how football affects supporters’ lives. Knowing all that is why Blackpool hurt so much.

 

“I’ve always tried to have a relationship with supporters but I got labelled as a good friend of the Blackpool chairman, who was backing what he was doing, when I wasn’t.

 

"I didn’t fall out with him, in fact he asked me to stay, but I’d wanted to do a job for the supporters.”

 

Followed the next day by...

"Lee Clark has revealed it is his ‘dream’ to manage Newcastle United - and that he believes they are one of the best run clubs in the Premier League under Mike Ashley’s stewardship."

Willing to completely abandon his principles to try and get a job, he'll fit right in.
