Without a doubt, one of the best managers ever.

But as a person, an absolute tool, apparently. My old man met him a few times. Could not stand him.

Not that that matters though.

He spoke very highly of your old man like........

Phenomenal record as a striker if I recall correctly... before his injury

Nigel must have been a constant disappointment for him.

Remember watching a TV show of him training in the 70's and a player came over to take a corner kick and he just laid into him "what are you doing?.... I don't pay you to take corner kicks.... you're no good at taking corner kicks..... get back in the middle "........... was funny..... Imagine what he would have said when Mirallas took that penalty last season... great manager....

Haha! I honestly think that to even think you are capable of running a top flight football club, must mean you have some level of self believe, self confidence, arrogance, whatever, that most "normal" folk just do not share.

Cept Roberto, obvs!

Boberto has footballing arrogance mate, he's phenomenal.

I think that would fit with most successful managers, Fergie, Shankly, Allardyce etc.

It's an interesting one because away from football Ferguson and Mourinho are decent guys.

Yes Ferguson fell out with Mcmanus and Magnier over a race horse but those two are turboturds anyway.

That clip is gold. It's not just Clough, but the interviews with the supporters. One of them must still have been concussed because he managed to say something along the lines of "he shouldn't be sacked...but he should be locked up... I don't he should be sacked, he's done a lot of work for charity "

Really enjoyed reading The Damned United, reckon that was as close to any of us could get to imagining Clough's mind.

the same fan gave a further view by saying "he shouldn't go 'round fisting people"....
