Calm down Carter and MCS, this isn't what you think it is !

Steve Clarke is starting to get increased mentions. Not one i would instantly dismiss to be honest.

There has been a long history of mixed results from seasoned 'Number Two's' making the step up. Be interesting if others can help me expand on the list below;

Good

Gus Poyet
Steve McClaren

Bad

Les Reed
Ray Wilkins
Sammy Lee

Mixed

Paul Hart

    Martin Jol was mixed...started off pretty well but then went a tad clueless towards the end.

    Arguably Alan Curbishley and Steve Gritt in that they'd both helped Lennie out

    McLaren should probably go in the 'mixed' bucket.

    Took Boro to a European final
    Poor as England manager
    Lead Twente FC to their first ever title
    Struggling at Wolfsburg

    Might be wrong but didn't he say he wasn't interested in becoming a manager?
