Not always the case clubs put managers on gardening leave and continue to pay their salary. If the manager gets a new job offer he walks away with nothing or very little. Celtic have done this with Mogga

We're doing it again.
Clarke and Stark - the dream team - massive disappointment if they aren't appointed - rumours flying and panic setting in.
Clarke was on a huge salary down south. Can we match that?
He actually has no experience as "The Manager" - he's always been the second man in the team. That spells a gamble to me.
Stark wasn't spectacularly successful in club coaching/management IIRC. Nor has he been so with the Scotland U-21s. Another gamble.
I was moderately supportive of the appointment of Clarke at first.
Now, I think we've just built the guy up for a fall.
For those who would be 'massively disappointed' if he isn't appointed - what reasons do you have for assuming that Steve Clarke's the man we MUST have if the team's to be turned around?
Why's HE the messiah rather than someone else?
This is like a freakin feeding frenzy..... :rolleyes:
I don't think Clarke is the best option. Why must we continue to gamble on our managerial choices?
the longer this goes on about clark its less likely to happen whoever started this rumour has done a good job of us all beleiving it,thers another name in the papers today apparently been interviewed for the job dave penny ex oldam managerQuote:

Sums up my thoughts about Steve Clarke entirely. He has never been a Manager in his own right and therefore it would be a fairly big gamble to appoint him as Hibernian Manager. He could of course be a big success in the job, but if he was, how long would it be before a decent sized English Club came calling - you wouldn't see him for dust if that was the case IMO.Quote:

My concern now is that Steve Clarke my have seen what is actually available and Petries budget might not match Clarke's ambition. Perhaps he has turned us down:confused:
If it is adds further weight to why people on hear get fed up with the private members and their 'elitist' attitudes etc. Not all of them are like that but there are plenty who will happily post rumours as facts etc or give it the 'well its on the private members forum' crap. Does nothing for getting others to sign up for a private membership - in fact id say its probably put a fair number off already.Quote:

We all thought Clarke was a shoe-in, they picked someone who we wanted but was believable and we all fell for it. We even thought he'd be appointed on Monday and started giving excuses about the under-21s playing so it would be put back, then the full team were playing so that's why. Now we've changed our mind are are apparently interviewing someone I've never heard of for the job.
Well done whoever thought it up!
The play-offs for the Euro champs not good enough for you?Quote:

Unless it is Steve Clarke of course.Quote:

Why?Quote:

Surely they would wait until someone was appointed or Clarke denied it before they could giggle.
If Steve Clarke is as good as some on here have suggested, then maybe he will put his name down for the Stuttgart job - manager's just been sacked!
Why? Because we don't just appoint whoever happened to be wandering around the shop at the time?Quote:

If Clarke and Stark are the men at the Helm I for one will be very happy.
Because apparently Jim Duffy knows and has spent the last 10 days trying on every piece of kit that's on display.Quote:

As for those gambling on it then I'm sure they are big enough to realise that they were not being forced to do so and I doubt they need or want your sympathy.
Well said that man :top marksQuote:
