Did a search for “Leon Clarke” on Twitter.
Seems everyone’s really keen on him at the moment. Especially the fans of the club he’s so desperate to join…
Don’t worry, I realise we’ll all be fine in a week. It does make you laugh though. The man purposely destroys the relationship with a club where the fans love him, to force through a move to a club where a whole host of them think he is – and I quote – “a fat useless twat”.
Football really is absolutely nothing like the real world.
@COOPSthereitis4 if he hadn't played for us before & wasn't called Leon Clarke they would love signing one of leagues too scorers

Praying Wolves don't sell Leigh Griffiths… And praying even more we don't sign Leon Clarke

Can't fault the signings jacket has made so far, I just don't see ยฃ1 million on Leon Clarke being a reasonable investment

So it looks like Leon Clarke has tried to force a move the wrong way, we don't want troublemakers at #wolves #wwfc

of all the former Wolves strikers to bring back, Leon Clarke has to be well down the list, behind such greats as Francowski and Aliadiere

And people thought Leon Clarke had matured in 8 years. Please, Kenny, don't do it. Nowhere near good enough.

Personally don't want Leon Clarke. I'd rather give Siggy a chance – at least he has potential if we go up

"@Wolvensam: "Leon Clarke is Wanderers Number Nine". Shudder. #wwfc" I want to cry!!

Leon Clarke is a personality I don't want anywhere near #wwfc. Jumps at first sight of a better deal: we can do much better.

Why do we keep making bids for Leon Clarke, we don't want him at our club for a 2nd time. Keep Griffiths simple as Jackett! #wwfc

— david anson (@davidanson1) January 28, 2014

— Andy Hunt (@AndyHwwfc) January 28, 2014
Why don't we try for Simeon Jackson instead of that twat leon Clarke
— Michael Burge (@wwfc_mike) January 28, 2014
Do Wolves really want to sign Leon fucking Clarke? Has to be a joke? League 1 player with a big fat ego. Waste of space!
— Leigh (@TheSpaceman3) January 28, 2014
Are Wolves seriously considering selling Leigh Griffiths and signing Leon Clarke? Seriously what the fuck?
— David Watts (@DazSmith93) January 28, 2014
Surely there are at least 50 better options than Leon Clarke for the same money. Nowhere near the quality of a Championship goalscorer #wwfc
— Mark Skoda (@Skodinio) January 28, 2014
I really, REALLY hope we donโt sign Leon Clarke. His attitude is atrocious and heโs not as good as many are making him out to be #WWFC
— Bidders (@Bidders84) January 28, 2014
Leon Clarke will be such a shit replacement for Leigh Griffiths #CCFC #WWFC
— Kurtt (@Freund94) January 28, 2014
Why would Leon Clarke even want to come back to #wolves we hated him the first time round!!
just stay at cov lad

Hes got himself into a right old pickle now… Wolves fans don’t want him, and from the looks of it Pressley doesn’t want him around the squad much longer either after the way hes conducted himself.
From being the top scorer in the division and loved by one set of fans. Hes turned his own world into one where the fans who once loved him now dislike him, his manager who helped him grow into the player he is, now no longer wants him and the fans of the club hes trying to force his way into, don’t want either.
Crazy to think how hes created this all by himself, when he was being hailed as a king only 3-4 weeks ago.
Why not start the ‘who is most crucial to keep’ poll again. See what happens.
More money, 5% of the transfer fee, more than likely a massive pay rise, six strikers to pit yourself against so wont play every week (easy money then).
Future may bring championship status, so more win bonuses and hike in pay again, if it all goes tits up, you will still get paid for the next 18 months at least, and you will even save money on your monthly petrol bill for the new Bentley you can now afford.
This is my take on the conversation Clarke may have had with his agent two months ago, players move on, again I convince myself as long as we have Pressley we will progress.
New players will arrive and fit into Pressley’s system, work hard improve and continue to play at a consistant level, bringing us some success next season.
I wish clarke all the best in his new venture, some how I think he is going to need it, although in his position he proberbly doesn’t give a monkeys.
