He scores goals in this league, that's proven at pretty Mich every club hes played at in this league, including last season in a poor bury side.

The article seems to rule it out.

1) They already turned down two offers of cash
2) The only way we could afford him is if Bury paid off his contract and we took him on a free.

How's that going to happen then? Are Bury stupid?

As we found - if Leon wants to leave he leaves. He will just go into a grey big sulk until he gets his way.

If we want him and he wants to come that's it.

He's the only ex player I'd be interested in.

Yeah he has now, think he still speaks to people at the club though

I'd have him back like a shot

If a player has a contract they don't have to agree to be sold. So Bury will have to pay him until his contract ends, he signs for someone else or agrees to cancel his contract. And if they can't afford his wages and he refuses to sign for another club you would think that they would sort things out quite quickly.

I would have him back. This is his level. He was a great help for Wilson. And if we could put someone decent with him we would have a chance of having a good season.

Has anyone actually got a glass house? (Greenhouses aside).

Hmm not sure, just that you shouldn't throw stones if you do.

Crystal Palace?

Re Leon, would gladly have him back.

You can't kick Jim O'Brien out for being a 'bad influence', then sign Leon Clarke.

It's a simple no for me.

Why not?

JOB had a go at younger players frequently. Clarke helped bring on Wilson a lot. But because Clarke was sold he is crap? JOB was given away.

SkyBlue_Bear83 · Jun 10, 2016

Can't see him coming back, if Bury have two bids on the table they aren't going to pay him off to allow him to come here.

As for the argument that Clarke will force Bury to let him join only Coventry, Clarke will go to whoever matches his wage demands and pays him the biggest signing on fee, it's the way he's done things for his whole career.

I'd definitely welcome him back though.

eastwoodsdustman · Jun 11, 2016

Someone connected tothe club has told me that we're pretty close to signing Leon in the next few days. I'll wait until its announced that he's signed for someone else!

Is Clarke a bad influence? Seemed fine until he wanted to leave. And he wasn't influencing anyone else to leave.
Plus even if he was, which I don't think he was, there are different types of bad influences anyway. As astute above has said.

Founder of the official JOB fan club?

Hobo · Jun 11, 2016

Yes he scores goals. But his attitude and application is unpredictable. Second time around is rarely as good as the first.

Jim O'Brien doesn't guarantee 20 goals a season. Clarke does. That's the difference.

All he would do is feign injury and not play for a few games to get his way... Wait a minute Deja-Vu.

Why didn't we sign him on a free last summer?

Because Bury offered him a three year contract on stupid money. One of several reasons why they are now going bust.

Willie Wonka? Oh no, that was a lift wasn't it.
