Clark leaves - turkeydinner - 09-05-2015
Think its fair to say that great young manager tag has well and truly gone

Lee Clark has resigned as Blackpool manager following their relegation to League One.
The 42-year-old was appointed on 30 October with the club bottom of the Championship table, where they stayed for the rest of the season.
The ex-Newcastle midfielder won three of the 33 games during his tenure.
The Seasiders' relegation was confirmed on 6 April and their last game of the season was abandoned following a pitch invasion by disgruntled fans.
Clark said: "After a great deal of thought I have come to the decision that it is not in the best interests of either myself or Blackpool that I continue as manager.
"I have therefore tendered my resignation to the chairman, which he has accepted."
Blackpool have had a miserable season, collecting just 25 points from their 45 games before their final match of the campaign.

Can't herlp thinking there is more to this one than what is being reported. Only last week he was talking about the rebuilding he would be doing so for him to resign now just seems strange. Never particularly rated him anyway, but I thought League 1 may have been his level.

Next Newcastle manager. Think he's resigned because he's been offered the job up there.

Newcastle would be mental to even consider him!!! He is an average manager at best asnd no way is he a Premier League manager!!!! But then Mike Ashley is not known for being conventional, just look at his current manager!!!
