but Pioli has turned this thing into a nightmare circus of which Clark is suddenly the ring leader...it's the worst thing it could be to clark: inconvenient...a bother

Clark doesn't actually have a ****ing clue about how to fix it because he isn't interest in fixing it (if that means building a championship franchise), he's interested in making it go away...so, what's the simplest thing he can do to make it run smoothly again (which has nothing to do with winning, per se)?

he's trying to figure that out

If what you say is accurate why is Clark bothering to fly to road games? What purpose does that serve?
