Brian Clough

[Exapno Mapcase]

Would've been 89

Would still drserve his place ahead of Hemir et al, knackered legs, full of the gargle, ancient and deed into the bargain.

Actually watched The Damned United again the other night. Brilliant film. Football legend, what could have been if he had managed us, we'll never know.

Couldn’t disagree with you more think it’s absolutely awful film & miles better documentries about clough than that garbage

Watched the actual interview with him and Revie and as far as what they put in the film re that scene it was a million miles away, iirc there was a lot of criticism about large portions of the movie being not true to life.

Agreed. Didn't like the movie. Not realistic. I think it was filmed at Chesterfield's ground. Bremener resumed a cartoon character The CGI scenery was unrealistic. Give me This Sporting Life in grainy monochrome anytime.

 

[PolPotter]

The best all round manager this country has produced.

Mark Crossley has some amazing Clough stories

 

[the veteran]

Not many chairmen/money men could have handled him least the the ego's at the FA, he needed full control. ..

His ego and nous where only big enough for him in the room..

If the powers that were at SAFC had not sacked him when he was Coach for us , who knows what might of happened

Did they? Thought he resigned to take the Hartlepool job.

I've always said we've been Brighton more than Derby or forest

Legends.

 

[Hardyman's Yugo]

We could have appointed Shankly at one point as well

That was arguably a bigger missed opportunity. Not only was he a decent manager, he connected with the fans more than any manager I can ever remember. Not only that, his sidekick was a local fella who turned them
Into a bigger force in Europe when he became manager

It's difficult to argue with what he achieved/created effective team wise with very limited resources.

Which ones would you recommend mate?

Yes ! He finished at SAFC end of April 65 starting at Hartlepool in October . In Jonathan Wilson book Brian Clough it tells of who put him in charge of the youth team and the reaction of the Directors.

Was a flop at Brighton, read about once about his time there, and it sounded like he was hardly there, only on matchdays type of thing. When he left Taylor did okay on his own at Brighton, laying the foundations for a decent Brighton team that not long after would reach Division 1.

 

[Swindon On Tour]

I always wonder what would've happened if he didn't get the career ending injury.
(SAFC would probably have flogged him cheap)

Loan to Swindon.

Always enjoyable.
