I can’t understand the bile and vitriol aimed at Nigel Clough. I would put him above Adkins, Weir, Wilson, Speed, Adams and Blackwell.........?

I honestly don't understand the "awfully bad in the league" bit - he did well in the league for us, arguably very well
I'd love to know what was said in that infamous board meeting.I thought Clough was far from perfect and made some fundamental errors in both his tactics and recruitment whilst at Utd but him getting the club to 2 semi-finals shouldn't be forgotten. The semi-final v Hull was one in my top 3 days supporting Utd (the others being Darlington and Leicester).
I hope he gets the Wednesday job on the back of this cup run....
......Then everyone on here can hate him as much as I do.
I've never understood why some Blades hate Clough. Can those that do, please explain?
And let's not kid ourselves he signed crap like Basham, Coutts, Freeman and Adams for next to nothing.
Didn't they dismiss Nigel for non footballing reasons?I'd love to know what was said in that infamous board meeting.
I think Clough is much more suited to managing underdogs - the style of football he prefers never got us on the front foot.
He also needs better transfer advice - he let the CB issue rumble on all season until ultimately it cost us vs. Swindon.
Well I did hesitate when I added him and the Ched thing was unfortunate. But I think Clough just shades it for me.Wilson played decent football, the first season back in League 1 was superb until the Ched episode.
Clough never, NEVER played good football. It was dull as dishwater. His relegation saviour, whilst effective was based on not conceding and snatching the odd goal.
He turned a potentially promotion competing side into a god awful side (how we even managed to get into the playoffs is a mystery) as a result of actually ignoring what he said...
"We need 2 or 3 quality additions"........ then proceeded to bring in about 20 shit ones.
Clough though was probably the most outgoing trying to crack jokes. He even made a wisecrack about my son's surname, which whilst not exactly funny, at least showed he wasn't as dour and dull as I maybe expected.
Adkins is not a knob!!, I refute that statement, Adkins is a CUNT, or if there are any words worse, he's one of them!!I can't hate Nigel. He gave us some great moments. In terms of Nigels who have managed us, he's maybe my favourite (I liked Spackers too. Adkins is a knob).
