i always thought Clarkson had bigger fish to fry on the Australian sporting landscape.
This is quite remarkable thought.

Some might say it's only going to detract from his Hawthorn responsibilities, but it does say that he met with them prior to the AFL season. It doesn't say how long before either.


HAWTHORN coach Alastair Clarkson is advising an Australian consortium plotting the takeover of a UK soccer club.

The four-time premiership coach has been in talks with Australian Football Consortium Ltd (AFC), which wants to buy an underperforming English team and take it to the Premier League.

The group, led by prominent management consultant Gerard Murphy, is undergoing a “confidential capital raise” with the aim of acquiring $55 million from investors.
