3 points at Yeovil as Clark keeps hiush over foxes job

As I write this in a darkened room, banishing the last remnants of an apocalyptic hangover, the question over Clarks future at our club still remains unanswered. With Leicester City prowling around like an urban fox around a dustbin (you see what I did there), there’s only one thing left to do, wait and see.

However on a positive note, we’ve returned from Yeovil with a vital three points, which has managed to keep us in touch of the leaders, and extend our  unbeaten run to 41 matches, yes 41 matches! It would be safe to say that this match was not the best, but we won the match and that’s what champions do.... I hope. As the game reached its end, the cameraman went crazy, and Anton Robinson steered the ball into the glovers net.  My favourite moment of this match however, was seeing the passion exhibited by Lee Clark when we almost conspired to concede, this to me is not the behaviour of a man on his way. Anyway 3 points done, and in the words of Lee Clark ‘job done’.

Now onto the small matter of Lee Clark and Leicester City... Having lived in Leicester for around two years, and been subject to dogs’ abuse for supporting Town, then seeing Peltier leave this summer, it is another reason behind my burning hatred of the foxes. The word on the street, I am led to believe from my fox-loving friends and family, is that Mark Hughes will be their next manager and not our lord and saviour Lee Clark. However it would seem that the word on the street and the word from the press are a different thing altogether.

Now this coupled with the ever-shortening odds at the bookies make for startling reading, and as you well know if you’re a regular reader, I tend to infer a lot from what the bookmakers are saying. Also Clarks rather obtuse response to the questions regarding his future has filled me with great doubt regards our chances of keeping him. Unfortunately all we can do now is wait, and hopefully the board will be making contingency plans if the worst were to happen. I’d love to see Clark stay, but if not we have to act swiftly and intelligently and bring in a manager to carry on our promotion hunt. Mistakes cannot be made, ‘till next time...
