Nigel Pearson's aftermatch interview said everything about the former porker. Totally arrogant in trying to give the guy doing the interview a hard time.
Arrogant snotty twat.
So Clough has beaten the pigs and then beaten a pig. Reason enough to welcome him back with open arms in my estimation no?
Clough wasn't a terrible manager, neither was Wilson and Adkins was just a terrible fit for us, he may well work out somewhere else.
We are a bit toxic aren't we? I remember Wednesday went through the same phase
Pleat, Atkinson, Wilson, Jewell, Shreeves, Yorath, Turner, Sturrock, Laws and Irvine were all part of a general downward curve until Megson and then Jones got them up. Even then it took two more managers and two chairmen to stabilise them in the championship.
We are virtually mirroring that decline, hopefully we will bounce back to the top half of the Championship in the next couple of years
You are such a happy chap ;-)top half of lg 2
Just saying and I may be miles away he's working under a sensible chairman who allows him to sign his first choice target. Our chairman could possibly try the same then the succession of managers may have some success and we could possibly step off the manager merry go round were currently in.Annoying thing warning Clough now vs. his time with us is his signings.
He bloated us with about 10 players who for 1 reason or another were drains on the club; Turner, Alcock, McGahey, Wallace(s), McCeveley, Coutts, JCR, Higdon to name a few.
Now you see him at Burton signing Brayford (smart investment), McFadzean, Irvine, O'Grady & Dyer who were all excellent tonight for them tonight. Choudhury & Williamson look like smart buys too.
I still think Clough is a ticking time bomb because once the inevitable arrogance sets in, he'll burn bridges and I think it is quite clear that happened with us.
I really don't understand the hate for Clough I really don't. He got us going when we were on our arse gave us our best ever performance at Wembley and got us within a whisker of a final. He then got us in the playoffs, since he has left look what has happened, does anyone actually think we would have finished were we did last year with him in charge? Not a chance, yes he made mistakes I and he would have been warned but to sack him when we did was utter incompetence.
Fair play to him sticking 2 fingers up to everyone I would as well. This club lurch from one ridiculous decision to another and everytime we make one of these stupid decisions we get weaker. The idiots who made all these names for Clough and called him from a pig to a dog I hope you are happy because the alternative has worked so well.
We do seem to be a poisoned chalice, but he remains to be the gaffer who has been backed the most substantially since we've been rotting down here, and he signed woefully. The bloke gave us Alcock and McEveley. He fell out with McNulty when we were crying out for goals. He wouldn't play Collins when we had no centre backs. He signed no centre backs. Michael Higdon...
I heard him at the start of the second half say they were '...looking for a second goal'. What the fuck?! Where was that mentality at our place? What happened to 'You start each game with a point'?
No weight on his shoulders at Burton. They're loving life just being up there. Let's not forget he nearly fucked up their promotion when they were miles ahead of the pack.
Just because he's doing well there doesn't mean we should have kept him here. He failed to get us up and that was his target. With the budget he was given, it's a fucking crime that he didn't. Spunking £1.5mil on Brayford when we were lacking all over the park is the epitome of incompetence - beard or no bloody beard.
Just shows you don't know much about football then. I thought Burton played very well in patches and credit must go to Cloughie. That Burton team took the game to that multi million pound Derby team in the first half and i was very impressed how organized they were and the energy levels they showed.I thought both sides were utterly shite
