Norwich City: 5 Reasons Lee Clark Should Be Made Manager

Here's why Norwich City should employ former assistant manager Lee Clark

1. His Huddersfield Town Record

In the wake of Clark's sacking at Huddersfield, most of the disbelief that met the news was based on the fact that Clark had overseen a successful period which saw just 3 defeats in a staggering 55 games, and having turned a team floundering under Stan Ternent (despite the relative fortune he had spent on new players) into regular play-off contenders with play-off position finishes in both of his full seasons in charge. This was after the team had finished as low as ninth the season before that. Clark's effect on Huddersfield cannot be under-estimated, and it was without doubt down to his stewardship, and the play-off pedigree and experience his tenure brought to the club that saw the Yorkshire club eventually gain promotion via that route last season under new manager Simon Grayson. But Lee Clark built that team, and built in them an undefeatable mentality, acquiring talismanic and embarrassingly prolific striker Jordan Rhodes who hit the ground running on his two-goal debut and hasn't stopped scoring since. If Clark could bring any of that form into Norwich, taking advantage of a reasonably talented squad, and making them more difficult to beat, he would almost certainly be considered a success.
