Coach Clarkson has left the building

[Strapping Young Lad]

Where is this coming from?

His imagination.

 

[HairyO]

I reckon they’ve missed the boat. Their one and only chance and they couldn’t convince him.

They’ll go for Ross.

Or they give Teague 1 more year and focus on what other changes they can make. Like getting a proper football structure where the board and executive dont meddle.

But this is Carlton. They dont know how to do the right thing.

GCS and GWS would be possible but again both have structural problems. Maybe Clarko could fix them. After a year off he may be up for the challenge.

 

[Leather Poisoning]

Collingwood and Carlton are still stuck in the old oil tycoon days where if you have enough cash and bang the table loud enough success will follow.

 

[cryptor]

With Clarko preferring to take a year off next year rather than coach, I reckon the Mitchell appoint has been justified. He has looked burnt out in press conferences this year, until getting a second wind once it was decided he would be leaving. Just reckon if he really was hungry still, he would have dived for that Carlton gig.

That sounds reasonable. Another possibility is that by taking a year off to recharge he's also giving the rest of the comp more of an opportunity to consider him as a viable option.

That will be another year off of every senior coach's current deal. Plenty more I'm guessing coming out of contract next year or at least come down to a single year payout figure.

Could be half a dozen clubs making genuine plays for him after next season. He'd have his pick and the money on offer will be highly competitive.

The idea of a recharged Alastair Clarkson who has spent 12 months studying the entire competition without the day-to-day burdens that come with coaching a club will only become more enticing as the season progresses and a bunch of clubs that thought they'd be top 4 are stagnating or worse.

 

[A Cut Above]

Wait and see, it’s Carlton remember

Carlton will go hard for Clarko to coach in 2023, as will numerous others

.....if Sammy has a shit 2022 does that mean we're a chance to get Clarko back?


Seriously though I wonder if Clarko is testing the waters, seeing how it feels to be outside the sport for the first time in decades. There must be an outside chance he finds a new passion or decides he likes retirement. Surely he can't need the money by now.

 

[Kenyan]

Agree, so he should have nipped this in the bud a lot sooner and just said no.

if he is delaying it, it is causing Teague a lot of distress

Clarko has no obligation to any other club or coach including Teague. What Carlton does with their coach is not Clarko's responsibility. He has been telling us all for several weeks that he needs a spell from coaching.
Carltons handling of the Teague situation is appalling - honestly, who would want to go to the club?

Teagues been torched by the board , if they offer him next year he should tell them where to go and ask for 3 years .

It's not mutually exclusive. Clarko can be both a great dude & also be not the Coach to lead us to sustained success over the next 5-10 years.

And it's ridiculous to think that the environment won't be available to him next year. Roos & Lyon haven't coached in years & they're spoken of as the top of every bloody list, every time a coach departs.

Emotional post is emotional.

Suggest the thread be closed unless some other JK Rowling's out there have yet another plot twist/narrative that somehow involves our former coach...?

Related, watch the media buffoons drop the spinnaker and change tack on the side that Teague is retaining his position, now that Clarko has been ruled out and Ross Lying is apparently at the back of the queue...

 

[Rushed_Behind]

How many times does it have to be repeated Clarkson is not coaching next year

 

[Rushed_Behind]

I’m baffled Carlton would want Clarko. They’ve hated him since the Battle of Britain and only more since the ‘08 Fev 99 goal stranding.

Did his manager say he’s out of the Carlton race or he’s not coaching next year to spend time with family and study?

I don’t think he was ever interested in going there as past players from that era would’ve made things very uncomfortable and really agitated when things went a little shaky.

Rumour is it was 14 million over 7 years offered. Jeez ya know ya clubs shite when that can't even entice someone with that!!

How do you even say no to that?? He'd be set for life.

 

[Brant]

Opens positions
Clarko's camp seems pretty set that he'll not e coaching in 2022.

Any news from your source that had him signed & committed to another club next year, before the news broke about him not being at HFC?

Like a needle to a balloon, the bluus fall flat on their arse! Die you pricks, HATE them more than anyone.

Shows how much they are in disarray off field

Clearly rubbish source, he fell for it and made a fool out of himself calling the great man a “loser”

 

[Stottzy]

So Caro is saying on Classified that Pies, Blues and Suns all approached Clarko and he said no to all.

Did he really have a source or was he making this shit up himself

She has also a number of times said that he would be coaching Carlton ……. she speaks s**t!

Carlton: Alastair, we'd like to offer you $14 million over 7 years. What do you say?

Clarko: Wow! That's really generous! What's the catch?

Carlton: No catch. You'll just be our senior coach.

Clarko: Oh... umm... no thank you.

I don't think he was ever going to go to a club that was sacking a contracted coach. He's been very vocal over the years about this kind of thing, and had a poke at Carlton for coach-hopping only a few days ago. There will be some VERY nervous out of contract coaches at the end of 2022 though.
