    3 losses in last 55 league games.

    43 regular season matches without defeat (club record)

    Play off finalists last year
    4th in league this year, 4 points behind 2nd.

    'It is believed his case has been passed to the League Managers' Association and could lead to a claim for unfair dismissal.'

    Missing the bigger picture I'm afraid. With HT's resources, the team should not fail in the P/O's season after season. How many games were they winning comfortably, only for his negative tactics to turn a win into a draw. Twice last season they were winning 2-0 against L'Orient & both games they drew. I bet they do better without him.

    how ridiculous if that, if it's true? Just means they lose out on any compensation, and they have to pay him compensation.

    It might well be about principal. Dean stands by him, then he asks to speak to another club, I'd be a bit miffed.

    Purely speculation as I have not heard anything.

    Yes they went on the unbeaten run, fair play to them, but too many draws to get auto-promotion. He had his shots, spent money, and it doesn't look like they will get it this year either.

    I think the worst thing about this from all points of view is the timing. Being pipped to automatic promotion by us and then losing to Posh in the playoff final was a double hammer blow. The chairman, if he had any balls, should have sacked Clark then.

    He's a good chairman, the only thing he did wrong was being too loyal. Lee Clark should go & work for Bates, then he'd know how easy he had it.

    I'm really happy for Huddersfield fans. I got quite close to a few of them last season, and I did feel for them missing out on promotion. Hopefully now with Clark finally gone, they can get the promotion which they deserve.

    Good luck to whichever fans end up with Clark next. I wouldn't wish him on anyone. Negative, negative manager.
