I agree, neither would I. However he departed previously with Leigh right bang on top of the second tier and in an excellent position to kick on for SL.

I would be more than happy if he were to position us there again in 12 months time.

I think he will stay as he would love the glory of being the hero of taking us to SL and so would I.

If he was to leave i'll wager that it is to go to Catalan!

Didn't they sack Clark's predecessor, Paul Crarey, when he had taken them from obscurity, to the NL2 play-offs? (within a couple of games of SL?)

Also, not knocking Steve Deakin, but has he won anything at this level? (i.e. Championship)

Very demanding boss, Mr. Johnston!!

Yes he did sack Carey, Deaks was sacked at Oldham after two years by Bill Quinn cause they couldn't 'kick on', strange times in RL ehh?

So that he can be closer to his kids, naturally.
