Do you care if Clarke goes?

If Clarke does go I hope he takes Robert Beric with him

Steve Clarke whooooaaa

In fairness when he came onboard I think most of us were all pretty but were at least grateful that Adkins was no longer taking us down. Instead we had to endure 5 months of turged footballing ineptitude as we underachieved and narrowly avoided relegation anyway. Optimism for the season at present greatened with each signing (bar Ali Al-Whoopsy) but the longer the season goes on the more chance he has to make us shit.

After losing 6-1 at Birmingham last Christmas if someone was to tell you that an uninspiring alcoholic looking Scotsman would save us from relegation, take us to Wembley, turn Blackman into a footballer, sign Matej Vydra and Ola John amongst others, get us to just outside the playoffs, then oxf*rd off to make space for a proper manager to come in.... We'd have all taken it

Ha, fair point

And remember that a good chunk of Clarke's games were with a demotivated and unbalanced team who had nothing to play for in the league and with a massive concentration on the FA Cup campaign.

It was also with a backroom team that it seems he didn't want to work with.

Both were pretty shite, though Adkins didn't have this quality to work with

I think Adkins personality causes people to be harder on him. Not to mention the fact he had McDs shoes to fill.

Clarke has certainly not been a step forward, though.

8 out of 80 so a mere 10%. Hardly a "good chunk"

People were hard on Adkins because the football we played was tedious garbage.

Tbh rather have Adkins back then race-hate endorsing Pearson.

Adkins was working under much more difficult circumstances and managed to do so with much more dignity. If he'd had the backing that Clarke has only fitfully managed to exploit we would be in a better position to compare them.

Personally speaking , I wouldn't care if Adkins had conducted all of his post-match interviews through the medium of interpretive dance, if his team played well and won matches I'd have been happy.

Much as in the same way I didn't care that Clarke slurred and swayed through all of his interviews, too many games were painful to watch.

I don't know if I'd go that far, but generally 'greed.

10% of games is enough to have a significant impact on his Win % and it's still higher than Clarke's

Oh I agree, I'm just making the basic point that people didn't really like Adkins, so we're quicker to criticise. McDs football turned into hideous drool but he was ace so people weren't as cross.
