Irony of Clark appointment won't escape City fans

Lee Clark has emerged as the front runner to replace Sven Goran Eriksson as manager of Leicester City. The 39 year old Huddersfield manager has refused to rule out the possibility of talks with City. The irony is that Leicester replaced a young, ambitious English manager (Nigel Pearson) with two foreign, so called 'big names' in Sousa and Eriksson. After their unsuccessful spells in charge of the team, the Thai owners look set to approach Clark this week. There is something to be said for English managers after all! Pearson enjoyed a win ratio of 51+% during his time at Leicester. This is mirrored by Clark's 50+% win ratio at Huddersfield. Perhaps, one day, there will also be a clamour for English owners of our football clubs too? Or am I getting carried away?
