Shane Clarke was forced to train with youth team

Chris Sutton's poor running of the football club continues to become more evident as Shane Clarke has revealed he was forced to train with the youth team towards the end of his time at Lincoln.

Clarke left Lincoln eariler this year, despite being a first team regular last season. Despite it being relatively obvious he wasn't going to be a regular in the first team this season, Chris Sutton appeared to completely freeze him out, and Clarke has this morning told the Lincolnshire Echo that he was forced to train with the youth team.

"I probably should have stayed given that Sutton left not long after," Clarke told the Lincolnshire Echo. "But at the time, it was making my life hell as I was being made to train with the youth team."

After leaving Sincil Bank, Clarke had a trial at Bury before a failed stint at Gateshead, he has recently signed for Boston.

Man of the match on Saturday, good luck to the lad.
Thought after his good start he was given too much responsibility and never really recovered, it's a fine line when to give youngsters too much first team football.

He can do everything O'Keefe can.

I think he was unlucky.

To be fair, he was probably never going to make it in the professional game, but Sutton didn't need to do that to a youngster.

Shame on you, Chris Sutton.

Well it just shows what a great manager not sutton was. He rubbed players up the wrong way, not earning their respect, very unsettled time at the bank for sure. I still think Sutton should pay his last years wages back to the club. He may of been able to bring in players from higher clubs which was great but now we find out to Steve Tilsons cost with no money to spend.
up the imps
