Plus ca change....

Not sure if this is the right place to post this but I'm just catching up on some old emails I filed to read when I had some time and one of them was an article about Brian Clough.

It linked to this amusing interview but what I found quite interesting was his take on too much football, not enough rest, his priorities when competing for 4 trophies etc. Motson is sweating profusely through the whole thing.



I love his deconstruction of Match of the Day too. He was fucking ace.

Actually, some things do change. Here's the televised debate between Clough and Don Revie about Clough's sacking on the night he got sacked. Revie for the prosecution and Clough defending himself- quality TV. I can't imagine anyone doing that today except maybe Mourinho.

Great manager in his time. Bit of a cunt for his Hillsborough comments.

The media were cocks then so not much change.

I feel I'm being schooled - what did he say about Hillsborough?

He was a great young manager who turned into a shit, bitter, vile, alcoholic old manager.
