A Terrier's Tale.....

Short of being officially introduced tomorrow (I'm not expecting any EmptySeatGate type surprises) Lee Clark will be our new manager - and contrary to my comment of a week ago, I am delighted (I'll expand on this in a moment). Please notice the parting shot by one G Roeder at the end of this report:

3 1/2 year Contract For Clark

I never liked Glenn Roeder much in the first place, now he has the brass neck to insinuate that Town are only a stepping-stone to Clarks dream job of managing Newcastle. I for one feel if he does well enough with us to deserve such a position I would be proud at a job well done.

As for my assertion last week "...what has he done to deserve this..." I am going to be big enough to say I was more than a tad hasty with that. It was a knee-jerk first over-reaction to the news Big Sam might not be coming to Town after all. On the contrary now, I think this is an excellent appointment and would warmly shake Dean Hoyle by the hand if I had the chance (I'd probably give him a hug actually if truth be known, as I am that sort of girl **laughs**).

The one thing that amuses me slightly is the realisation that me and Lee Clark actually have something (a bit tenuous admittedly) in common - we were both born in exactly the same week in October 1972 (Lee is 4 days my junior).

I am really feeling good about this, just know this will work - whereas when ST took over I knew it had disaster written all over it.

UP THE TOWN!!!!!!!!!!
