That still doesn't really provide an insight into what his role actually entails - what his responsibilities are.
I guess I always feel out of place in these threads because everyone talks about how coach X is good (or isn't) and who they'd like to see do what. Now I don't know what goes on at Melwood or on the training pitch - I can only make rather vague assumptions based on bits and pieces I've read.

You're right about that.
If I had to guess though; I'd say that Clarke is assistant manager in all but name.

Clarke, by all accounts, plans and runs training sessions. He develops sessions to work on systems and individuals, in accordance with the requests of the manager. So the manager wants us to practice defending set-pieces, or develop attacking set-pieces, or striking practice, or whatever, and Clarke organises these sessions and works with individuals within this. Thus, whether or not it was Kenny who came up with the 3-5-1-1, it would have been Clarke who prepared the team for fulfilling their roles within the system. Probably.
