I posted last week about how my Auld dear works with Steve Clarke's brother. According to her Stevie hasn't even been contacted by Celtic which is very strange as he should be a definite candidate! According to his brother he thinks it may be a smokescreen for Malky? I hope I'm wrong as I'd love him to be manager.

I know for a fact Clarke has been spoken to and asked if he'd take the job well before Lennon left. Clarke has been lined up for this for a while, I just don't understand why they're taking so long to get the deal done

@91bhoy, I hope your facts are correct, but what I known has come through Stevie's brother, and he says that he hasn't been spoken to. I also know that he would walk to Paradise for the job. But as I said I hope you are right.

If we haven't even spoken to Steve Clarke then u really have 2 question what's going on behind the seens at paradise. Steve Clarke is everything PL would want i.e. He doesn't have 2 pay a penny for him as he is a free agent and he probably has enough contacts to get loan deals on sum of the best young talent in the premiership saving PL even more money. It's frightening to hear names like Coyle, Houston, Keane etc bein touted for the job. We are in a position of strength we need to keep building on. Didn't we learn our lesson with Dalglish/Barnes and Mowbray which financially cost us dearly!

I don't see why everybody is so interested in Steve Clarke, he might have worked with good managers but does he match our criteria? Does he know how to develop younger players? Does he know this club and what it takes to succeed? Any real success in management before? He ticks no boxes what so ever for me and it's only my opinion as everybody else has there's but why are we not going for the likes of Paul lambert or jackie McNamara who have done exceptionally well with man management of younger lads especially jackie. The board probably know heehaw about Steve Clarke and he, s only a candidate as we won't have to pay any compensation, usual again tight wods from the board, I'd much rather pay 2 or 3m in compensation to Aston villa for lambo who knows exactly what's required here and has worked wonders with Norwich and villa under difficult circumstances

All this I know, he knows, she knows nonsense. No one knows anything! Unless you're Dermot Desmond, Peter Lawwell or the candidate for the job!
