Or if he'd had a more capable assistant / mentor.

He could hardly have had a less capable one.

I still haven't worked out what Craig was all about....

To be honest mate id rather not say, when he came for talks i was told he was there (much to the amusement of a few folk on here may i add) and he was.

He is deffo back Monday.

**~~PaulSmith~~** · 16-10-2010 06:02 PM

Stevenson quoted as saying he expects things to happen over the next few days.

Clarke is still my odds on fav for the job.

**Gatecrasher** · 16-10-2010 06:11 PM

And you are referring to what ?

**Wheat Hound** · 17-10-2010 09:40 AM

Right, where are all the Sunday paper rumours then? Or, are there none? All I've seen thus far is Chick Young's nonentity of an article on the bbc and a line in the Hunday Mail saying Clarke is still favourite.

It's now 6/4 Clarke and 2/1 Calderwood.

In other words, it's still all up in the air.

I'd rather Jimmy Calderwood than Colin. Seriously.

I concur, though hope it is neither and that negotiations are continuing with Clarke and that Petrie stumps up the required 5 grand a week.

**James70** · 17-10-2010 04:51 PM

Calderwood's statistics as a manager don't stack up too impressively though he seems to be doing ok as assistant at Newcastle. I wouldn't want to have to pay compensation to the Geordies again after the last individual we had to pay them for!

Also his comments about the minute's silence following the Phil O'Donnell tragedy didn't go down too well.

If it's between him and Clarke then please let it be Clarke.

Just a whisper yesterday that's already been mentioned on the bounce that Clarke had agreed 5 grand a week with RP only to come back woth his agent and be told the 5 grand was for him and his assistant. May well be pash but then again would anyone be overly shocked if it were true?

Jeez i really hope thats not true,

It could be that Clarke is OK about coming but that the SFA are being awkward about Stark.

A wee bird suggested that Stephen Glass, who has all his certificates and is now training at East Mains, might be a suitable assistant for Clarke.

Cannae see it myself - Clarke 'n Stark, fine.

But Clark 'n Glass doesnae rhyme.

Obvious, I'd have thought.

Can't imagine RP making a schoolboy mistake like that. It will be pish.

Disnae have the same ring to it.

Could have Avram Grant and Peter Grant - the Ugliest Management Team in the World.

They'd pay for themselves - 'grant'-aided, we'd be.

I'm away.
