i don't think he asked club, said to his agent
Didn't like having to work for his wage. Thinks he's better than he is. PDB may be a fruitcake, but this guy had an attitude problem. |

L2 is all about hard work and fitness. It's not about pretty football. He's had a reality shock and now he won't play again - not for us anyway. Good riddance.

Is the training really that bad, or is his attitude really that bad... questions, questions.

Di Canio: Leon Clarke not welcome near swindon ever again
I hope he wasn't going to go on loan to another League Two club then!
Hopefully this whole episode will install a siege mentality and bring the other players closer together...we need a win on Saturday massively now.

Hopefully it is because the training was too intense rather than the standard of our players here being absolutely abhorrent. Although in going from training with QPR of the Premiership to training with Swindon of Division 4, it should hardly be rocket science that the players wouldn't quite be as good!

The thing is he gets the last laugh which is the most annoying thing. Nice signing on fee I presume. Wages still paid.

Wonder whether the club will take him to court over breach of contract? |

That surely depends if someone takes him and where he goes. |

Contrast his attitude with Connell's. From the outset, AC has come across as a model professional. Clearly had the respect of Grimsby fans as well. Even though they're a different kind of fron man, I'm willing him to do really well for us now - and capitalise on Clarke's career suicide.

Breach of contract? He hasn't refused to play. By law the club had to mutually terminate or keep paying. No club is going to pay 100% of his wages after the fiasco. |

That would be the outcome I would want too. He seems like a really good guy and I hope he is as successful as we want him to be. |

Agree. Financially, difficult to see how Clarke will represent anything other than an expensive mistake for us. He will know that he will be seen now as damaged goods...so expect to hear his side of the story in the press quite soon to justify his position. If he doesn't manage to engineer a move soon, we pay.

It would be pretty difficult I imagine to try and terminate one contact for being involved in the scuffle, whilst letting the others (Donatelli, or to an extent, Di Canio) continue in their jobs. His only other black mark is expressing displeasure at the training regime, and I doubt he is the only one. Di Canio's comments about him not being welcome back ever again do nobody any favours and he should know better. He's publically damaging Clarke's reputation even more and making it more difficult to shift him. The only person comments like that serve are Di Canio himself, by carving himself out a disciplinarian reputation. Keep quiet, boot Clarke out, make sure the other club picks up most if not all of his wages and then terminate as soon as we can in the summer. |

According to Gary Rose on twitter Clarke asked to leave two days before the saints game.
Outrageous. Good riddance if that's the way he feels after a week at a club. Hopefully Connell and Kerrouche can get amongst the goals this weekend and we can forget this cuntslop was ever here as soon as possible. |
