If it wasn't Clarke's decision, or at least he has the final say, then I doubt Malky will want to go to club that operates that policy.
I said after watching Brom take on the Jacks at the Hawthorns earlier in the season that if Clarke can get that rabble that Swansea made look like a pub team into some sort of order, he'd deserve a medal. They were clueless that day and much the same again yesterday. I'd go as far as to say we were probably lucky they were.
If Malky goes, and I think he will, I reckon his next appointment will be in East London. Sullivan and Gold won't want to be where they are right now at the sharp end of the season. Allardyce wont be cut any slack. He has some very good players at the club and they're underperforming - much more of this and he'll be gone.
