A should imagine older fans will remember Alan Clarke fondly from his first spell although it has to be said that his second spell was a success too imo. He kept us in the 2nd tier on next to nowt after the pit closures and our crowds had halfed.
If Redders does come he has a more than capable squad to work with. Who's to say he won't be a success? I know he struggled at Rotherham but he stepped in well at Leeds when asked to. What I'm saying is that what ever happens Redders will always be a legend in my book. I always say that good solid professionals (as players) tend to make decent managers. Redders was the ultimate pro' from what I've read and heard about him.
