I've seen some some mixed opinions regarding Steve Clarke and his record at West Brom. For me, hiring Steve Clarke seems like a no-brainer, and I cannot understand why he hasn't already been appointed.
People have suggested he only had one good year at WBA, and followed that with a bad year, but if you look at the stats Clarke has a better record than Pulis did at the time Palace hired him. .
I just tweeted some of the win records achieved in the Premier League by managers who have recently been linked to Palace.
Pulis won 42% of his matches as Palace manager, but at Stoke he only won 29% of matches played. Let's look at how these manager's overall records tally up:
1. Clarke 31%
2. Pulis 31% (29% at time of Palace appointment)
3. Zola 28%
4. Warnock 24%
5. Mackay 22%
6. McCarthy 20%
Since Steve Clarke has publicly indicated that he would be interested in the job, he has the experience of both a player and manager in the league, has a better win percentage currently than Pulis did before we appointed him and achieved his record by spending considerably less money than Pulis - surely he is by far the best candidate and ticks all the boxes on Parish's wish list.
So, why has he not been hired already?
