Billy Clarke Move Unlikley?

12th June 2009

Last month TFI reported that Lincoln City had joined the chase for Billy Clarke. Unfortunately, it now seems a little unlikely that he will join The Imps.

Why, you might ask? Well, it appears that Sheffield Wednesday and Norwich City are also interested in Clarke.

Sheffield Wednesday of course can offer Clarke Championship football, which would prevent the striker from dropping down the divisions following his release from Ipswich Town.

Meanwhile, Norwich can offer League One football plus, it means that Clarke does not have to move out of the Norfolk/Suffolk area.

League One club Brentford were the favourites to sign Clarke, but they have revealed that they will not "break the bank" to sign him. Obviously, if Brentford cannot afford Clarke, then there is probably little chance that Lincoln City can offer him more favourable terms.

The other club interested in Clarke is League Two side Notts County. Their manager Ian McParland is reportedly to hold talks with Clarke regarding a two-year contract in the near future.

Clarke has been on holiday in Las Vegas, which is why his future is yet to be determined, although Brentford boss Andy Scott met with Clarke in America.
