Thought Clarke did a decent job and should be a good appointment for Reading.
His team selection was spot on more often than not. He wasn't scared to make the big calls (dropping club captain Brunt) or bring young players through. We often played decent attacking football and he oversaw some good wins at Old Trafford and Anfield.
Thought he was unfortunate not to be backed by Peace in January of his first season when Yacob was ruled out. Considering how well we were doing at the time, it made sense for us to get a replacement in. Peace preferred to do things on the cheap as we looked 'safe'. That was when the rot started.
His one big mistake was thinking Anelka was an adequate replacement for Lukaku (If Clarke did make this decision).
He was light years better than the muppet we have now. In fact, if Clarke has this squad, I think we'd be comfortably in mid table and not have to watch Dorrans keeping out superior players week in and week out.
