United close in on Clark [RUMOUR]

A reliable inside source from the Central Coast Mariners has told me that in a unpredicted move Andrew Clark will join Adelaide United for a one year deal. It is unknown if the contract has a 2nd year option, but it is worth slightly less than the mariners were paying him.

This article has been provided by:
Mark Bailey of Emerald, Qld

FourFourTwo Belief Factor: 7/10 - This was rumoured a few weeks ago and Clark admitted he was still trying to agree a new deal with the Mariners.

This is strange. I dont see why Clark would leave his hometown for less money
odd indeed. Dru dont you work in Emerald? Do you know this person?

 

[FFC Mariner]

Isnt he doing his Phd at Scum U??

Thats what I thought. I dont think Clark will move though its strange its taken this long to finalise a contract with him

 

[Jesus]

Moving for less money would be absurd surely?

More money, then an option, if a long term coaching gig was included i guess

 

[skilbeck]

well if it is the coaching gig he wants then i guess anywhere other than the mariners could be an option as Lawrie has the most job security of any coach in the country

 

[Jesus]

Ah, misread, less than he was on this year, but probably more than we offered.

but still i reckon it would need to be heaps heaps more than what we offered for him to consider it

 

[Jesus]

indeed. I dont see him wanting to move that badly. I dont think he would unless we did not offer him a playing role. But he signed up originally when he wasnt even going to be playing, so who knows.

yes, at the ourimbah campus of the uni

Given how he had an agreement to sign with the Galaxy... How far fetched is it?

Is he? I go there too.
I realise this post adds nothing to the discussion. But it is late and I am bored.

He was only rumored to the Galaxy, I dont think he had any agreement with them

*cough* Tom Pondeljak - but I guess Melbourne IS his hometown.

Interesting he says that it's an unpredicted move and then the 442 comment goes on to say that it was predicted
