STEPHEN CLARKE OF CHELSEA. THE ASSISTANT COACH.

Stephen Clarke of Chelsea, has spent twenty odd years both as a player and as a assistant coach at Chelsea club . He worked under Jose Mourinho , Avram Grant and now Luiz Scollari..
Clarke played football from the year 1987 to 1998, when he retired from football.. To be an assistant coach to the famous Dutch footballer Ruud Gullit ,in the year1999. But he was sacked after some trouble in the club. Then Sir Bobby Robson took over and Clarke served as his assistant coach till he left after Robson had a disagreement with the Newcastle United president Mr Shepard over the selling of Gary Speed to Bolton Wanderers, without Robsons knowledge . Which led to Clarke return to Chelsea.
Now the main problem facing Clarke and Chelsea is that Clarke has two more years on his contract, but Clarke wants to join West Ham United, to be an assistant coach under Gianfranco Zola . Chelsea are now demanding that Clarke pay a sum of of five million pounds, if he wishes to leave. West Ham are saying that it is to high , and that 1.4million pounds is a just amount to pay. Chelsea will not let him go easily as they have a new coach this year.
Frank Lampard has come out to support Clarke , ( Saying every one has a dream and a right to achieve it so let him go.)
Now the big, big problem facing West Ham United is that the company that sponsor them the X.L Company has gone bankrupt .
Clarkes main plan is to coach under Zola and one day be a manager of the team on his own.
