Jack Clarke

To be honest, it's his own daft fault.
I like Ipswich as a club, but there us no way I would have gone there this season.
They were always going to comeback down.
He's been badly advised by his agent. But all Harte was interested in was his % from the move.

It’s really easy to say

But he’s picked a club in the PL vs a club who finished 16th in the championship, and a massive wage jump

Look at Stewart for what injuries can do
 
Another nail in the coffin for Clarke with Ipswich signing Enciso. McKenna continuing his managerial policy of throwing enough shit at a wall and seeing what sticks.
 
It's interesting comparing the data of the three players in question.

Something that stands out to me is the reason we have so much more data about Clarke is not just because he was here for a longer time but also because he rarely got injured despite being chopped down on a regular basis.

He had a natural fitness and robust quality. We have two players covering his absence and they are both injured.
 
I think Mundle is ahead of Clarke at the same age. I also think Mundle is better defensively than Clarke. He’s more robust. Watson will undoubtedly end up having the best career out of the 3. He’s up there with Rigg for potential.

No one but the club and his friends, family and agent will know for sure The vast majority of PL players have a clause in their contracts to that affect/effect/?? It depends how desperate Ipswich were too sign him and seeing as no one else was in for him and they’ll know they’d be amongst the favourites to be relegated I’m 99.9% sure he will do.

Id put money on the finishing positions of newly promoted clubs ower the last 50 years backing you up there.

Yes, nearly all signings have relegation pay cut clauses in their contracts. But even his reduced pay - if Ipswich are relegated is likely to be way above the championship level of pay (for clubs without parachute £ millions). Leeds and S'otons wage bills were in the region of 40M last season, Leicester's a lot higher. Median championship was just above 10M iirc.
