Maka might have been at Chelsea when Clarke was there, i'd imagine if he does get the job, Make will remain rotting on the welsh woodwork.

From Clarke's interview with Party Nevin, 2 years ago.

I wondered whether or not a return to Scotland and choosing an SPL club to unveil his ideas might be a possibility? "When the time comes there are definitely one or two clubs I would be tempted by back home." I wonder who they could be?

Possibly reading a lot into it, but you never know.

Was speaking to a guy at lunchtime who's pal owns a bookies and said that they've closed the book as they reckon it's dead-on cert Clarke has the job now.

Nothing new really and gawd knows how the bookies get this info, but here's hoping! :thumbsup:

If that's the case maybe we should be steaming in to the 11/8 still available with Hills. :hmmm:

"This is what I think about Steve Clarke: if, at this moment, he had the chance to manage a club, even a big club like Chelsea, he would be ready for that. He is that good.” — Jose Mourinho "

But, what does he know? Probably not Hibs class.

Maybe, on the odd occasion that one of them totally dominates the other, someone else could have a chance at second place, like the Yams did, but that's it realistically.

Any manager who can get us playing decent football and back in the top 5 will attract attention.

fair enough, but id like to think we could start to compete more consistantly and close the points gap to maybe 5 points instead of 25.

Given that the UK media were falling over themselves to come and interview Hughes / do pieces on the club when we were close to Celtic last winter, he'll get bags of attention if he can manage something similar. He doesn't need to split them or anything to get the level of attention he needs.

If anything I'd expect the media down south will probably show a fair bit of interest in how he gets on anyway, given his background in the Premiership.

I don't think the board would be daft enough to go for Calderwood. He would be a hugely unpopular choice and with attendances already falling off the back of the poor form under Yogi, it would be far too big a gamble.

I think whoever is is (and Clarke is one i would be happy with) there is an opportunity for them to put their mark on the team quickly given the amount of contracts that expire this season.

Yes and to be fair Tangoman has quite a good track record in the SPL and I think he could do a job for us but TBH would defo prefer the likes of Clarke/hart/brown/Mcdonald etc.

Would like to think RP will think out of the box a bit and go for one of those rather than the tangoman.

Had a nice bet at 11/8 so here's hoping, Clarke would be a great appointment for us.

And make me a few quid. :thumbsup:

You can still get 10/11 at Paddy Power.

Nope just all the dafties on here backing Clarke. The more bets they take the shorter the odds.

Of course! It's a market. The bookies need to cover their positions. But as the odds shorten it can have the effect of making it look more likely, meaning more bets are taken.

What price was Tony Mowbray or John Collins? And what price was the favourite, before they were appointed?

That's it exactly.

If a load of bets go on a candidate, the bookies shorten the odds, to cover themselves, and I guess in case they fear someone has gotten a hold of some tasty info.

I doubt the bookies have any more clue than most of us who the club wants to get in.
