Seems he will confirm today.

BTW Stole this from often partisan

Clark's league record with Huddersfield - P116 W62 D36 L24 F216 A134 PTS222 - nearly 2 goals a game belies the eck comparisons, non?

All this in the 3rd division, this is a big step up for him.

It's been well documented that he's 'supposed to be a defensive manager', and if true that will ensure the crowds don't hit the 20k mark all season.

They hardly ever hit that last season apart from European games and we had the best attacking football and europe!!!!

EVERGREEN BLUE POSTED

I'll wait and see. I always give any manager the benefit of the doubt, for the time being. Just as I did with, Harry Storer.
Bob Brocklebank.
Arthur Turner.
Pat Beasley.
Gil Merrick.
Joe Mallet.
Stan Cullis.
Freddie Goodwin, and so on.

He wasnt who I would have initially picked but better than some of the so-called 'bookies' candidates.
However hopefully he is a manager that can grow with the job and can build on what chris started (if restraints allow)

Am fairly happy with the appointment of Lee Clark tbh.

Wont be easy for him stepping into Chris Hughton's shoes tho.
