In my view, Lee Clark is perfect for the job at Leicester City. Young, ambitious, a workaholic, a believer in the role of sports science and with excellent contacts within the game. However, the idea of Keegan coming in as Director of Football fills me with dread and is undoubtedly a recipe for disaster. Was it not the same Kevin Keegan who walked out on Newcastle United because his director of football, Dennis Wise (remember him?), signed a couple of players on transfer deadline day - without Keegan's knowledge?
As Harry Redknapp once said, "Players are bought and sold without the manager's consent - and even knowledge in some cases. How can you do the job like that?" Could this sentiment ruin City's chances of securing Clark's signature? He is his own man, wanting to make his own way in the game. Why on earth would he want someone like Keegan interfering in the day to day running of the football team? Let's just hope the Thai's quest for a "big name" doesn't turn out to be a deal breaker.
