Window Cleaner Posted 15 February, 2012 Posted 15 February, 2012 Perhaps he's going to get the Wolves job or perhaps his board have noticed that they're not going to make automatic promotion again this season.

scotty Posted 15 February, 2012 Posted 15 February, 2012 On the bbc as well, reported as a surprise sacking. Seems incredibly harsh, unless theres a sub-agenda.
doddisalegend Posted 15 February, 2012 Posted 15 February, 2012 Hudds fans already screaming for Warnock on their boards I see.......... Apparently sacked for getting to many draws....Sad fact for hudders is since Lee Clark came in there have been a lot of Big clubs in league one making his job of getting Huddersfield up to the champ pretty hard... with the likes of Leeds, Norwich, Saints, both Sheffield clubs and Charlton all looking for the auto spot the last few seasons.
Appy Posted 15 February, 2012 Posted 15 February, 2012 Why don't the media count the Playoff final as a defeat for them?
Thedelldays Posted 15 February, 2012 Posted 15 February, 2012 Why don't the media count the Playoff final as a defeat for them? because it was not a league game
Appy Posted 15 February, 2012 Posted 15 February, 2012 because it was not a league game People aren't mentioning league defeats, they just say defeat.
Cascadia Saint Posted 15 February, 2012 Posted 15 February, 2012 Must be something going on behind the scenes, otherwise that is unbelievably harsh. Can't imagine he'll be out of work for long, but he seems rightfully gutted at being sacked after the couple of years they just had. Apparently thinking of claiming unfair dismissal. http://www.football365.com/transfer-centre/7523253/HUDDERSFIELD-SACK-LEE-CLARK
dronskisaint Posted 15 February, 2012 Posted 15 February, 2012 They're off their tiny Yorkshire perches unless there has been a fall out over other jobs...think he has done well for them. They probably deserve Colin *****r though!
JustMike Posted 15 February, 2012 Posted 15 February, 2012 yeah shocking move by them, maybe something went on behind the scenes
Glasgow_Saint Posted 15 February, 2012 Posted 15 February, 2012 2 defeats in about 1,000 games! seems harsh!
SNSUN Posted 15 February, 2012 Posted 15 February, 2012 What surprises me most is not that they got rid of a manager that hardly has any losses to his name, but that the Huddersfield fans are actually happy about it! Madness - granted they're not top, again, but that is a fricking strong league this year. They won't go up again, and it's because they think the grass is greener elsewhere. Ok, maybe something went on behind the scenes, but this will unsettle them for the run in. Crazy.
S-Clarke Posted 15 February, 2012 Posted 15 February, 2012 What a bizarre sacking. Watch them slip slide away now.
Under Weststand Posted 15 February, 2012 Posted 15 February, 2012 Well they say nothing surprises you in football & this is one of those moments. 178 games in charge, 49% win ratio & only lost 40-games in 3-years. Yes he has been backed & they wanted automatic. Nothing in this game is given, Div-1 is an extremely hard league again this year. So its an incredible decision today & one I find hard to find any rational reason for. but when has football ever been rational!
Dr Who? Posted 15 February, 2012 Posted 15 February, 2012 Hudds fans already screaming for Warnock on their boards I see..........

Agree with this, it is a tough league, but fear they will slide a little now.
Doctoroncall Posted 15 February, 2012 Posted 15 February, 2012 I think it was the 50 players in three years that he brought in that did it for him. As well as the 17 points from the last 11 games.
Thedelldays Posted 15 February, 2012 Posted 15 February, 2012 lets be honest...great as he has done, they are not going up under him....they have spent big and have some cracking players...... they have also been unlucky with having the likes of saints, brighton, norwich, leeds, charlton and the sheffield clubs in their league in the last 3 years or so
scotty Posted 16 February, 2012 Posted 16 February, 2012 I think it was the 50 players in three years that he brought in that did it for him. As well as the 17 points from the last 11 games. I think we've managed 14 points from the last 11 games. ADKINS OUT!!!!
Thedelldays Posted 16 February, 2012 Posted 16 February, 2012 I think we've managed 14 points from the last 11 games. ADKINS OUT!!!! and 2nd in the league..they will not go up automatically for the 3-4 years running
Crazy Diamond Posted 19 February, 2012 Posted 19 February, 2012 Huddersfield were a great side when we were in League One. If anything, Clark being sacked makes me more thankful we were promoted last season, because it was by no means easy or a certainty.
Wade Garrett Posted 19 February, 2012 Posted 19 February, 2012 I reckon they jumped the gun, thinking that Warnock would take the job and the reported million pound salary being offered. Hard to see who would be a better fit for them than Clarke.
Crazy Diamond Posted 19 February, 2012 Posted 19 February, 2012 http://www.huddersfield.vitalfootball.co.uk/article.asp?a=273319 One of the '****eal Football' sites I grant you, but nevertheless...
Glasgow_Saint Posted 20 February, 2012 Posted 20 February, 2012 simon grayson new boss. The manager merry go round is bonkers! Nigel is already number 35 in the longest serving current manager list....6th longest in the Championship http://www.leaguemanagers.com/managers/longest-current.html
Smirking_Saint Posted 21 February, 2012 Posted 21 February, 2012 Well, IMHO, spending the money they have, having a playerbscoring the amount Rohdes is, and going a mill games unbeaten but STILL not nailing down an automatic spot is quite a failure in my eyes.
S-Clarke Posted 21 February, 2012 Posted 21 February, 2012 Well, IMHO, spending the money they have, having a playerbscoring the amount Rohdes is, and going a mill games unbeaten but STILL not nailing down an automatic spot is quite a failure in my eyes. I think their unbeaten run is a bit of a non-event really, as you'd expect to actually achieve something if you go that long unbeaten. In the end they just drew too many games and achieved zilch. I still think it's a little questionable why he went because I don't think he did a bad job, I guess their chairman looked at Charlton and wondered why they're running away with it and Hudders are looking like a playoff team again. Grayson is a good appointment though. They should be chuffed with that.
Crazy Diamond Posted 21 February, 2012 Posted 21 February, 2012 I think the more you look at it, the worse the job Clark was doing. The unbeaten run is very good but would I rather have more wins under my belt and be in the top two all season? Of course. They've spent a hell of a lot of money as well, I'm guessing it's not a bottomless pit of money...
stevegrant Posted 21 February, 2012 Posted 21 February, 2012 Already this season, they've dropped 20 points from winning positions
