I think of the candidates actually in open contention right now, if it came down to Leppa or Simpson I'd be fine with either. If Craig was involved as a senior assistant to either I'd actually be really happy with that - I don't think he's the guy to lead the club, but I'm certain he'd have a lot of knowledge and experience to bring as a senior assistant. On that, why is it that I so often read about Leppitsch with a mentor, but not Simpson? He's got more coaching experience doesn't he?
Moving along... I'd be (pleasantly) surprised if we ended up appointing Clarkson. The club people involved are making a point of talking about whittling down the list of 5 they have already interviewed, obviously trying to make the process look as robustly structured and thoroughly executed as possible. Even if it's a good move, it would look odd to spend the best part of a month convincing everyone they're conducting a thorough interview process, then ditching the whole thing at the last gasp and making a hasty approach to Clarkson.
