I reckon Tony McMahon is odds-on to be one of the 3 on account of him being a tasty piece of work. Other similarly completely uninformed guesses are welcome...

Cheers Panchero!

 

[Roygbiv]

Some of the proof that Clough is a paid up member of the English nazi party is that he bombed out Febian Brandy - who is an all round prat anyway

Let's not forget he got rid of Jordan Stewart at Derby too. That can't have been for football reasons surely

 

[Tyler Durden]

It'd be such a shame if Brian Cloughs son turned out to be a racist.
It'd taint all of his other wonderful character traits.

 

[Bladebri]

I would like to know why we didn’t have a view from Germany and Brazil as a kind of stocking filler, but good to have you back Roy cheers.

 

[BornOnShorehamStreet]

I often wonder if they think why the hell do we play Sheffield 4 times in a season?

I bet they're impressed with the variety of away shirts "Sheffield" play in!!!!

 

[FinchleyBlade]

There's loads and loads of anecdotal evidence of Clough's racism though an some big signs too. He signed about 75 players for us and about 2 of them had darker skin. How many did he sign at Derby? How many has he signed for Burton? It's a bit of a coincidence isn't it. Taylor then comes out saying that it's pretty well known in the game that Clough is a racist and people all over football forums that don't know either way are jumping up to say he's lying. That's without even making a direct allegation on record, just something he said in a pub.

I'm guessing Lyle Taylor rightly sees Nigel Clough as a popular figure within the media and football with probably the most famous surname in the game. LT is still young and trying to make his way in the game, he probably doesn't want to jeopardize his career by calling out a bloke like this who has a lot of friends in the game. I imagine he'll be saving it for his autobiography when he can say these things without fear of it affecting his playing career. It's sad that he can't come out and say this, but while people like you are criticizing this, you must surely be aware that you're also the reason he can't.

The parallels between this and the ongoing sexual harrassment cases is scary.

Christ, people like you are utter bores.

You seem to spend your entire existences looking for whatever 'isms' you can pretend to be outraged about based on absolutely no evidence.

How many black players do we currently have and how many has wilder signed? Guess he must have a problem with them 'darkies' too eh?

How many white players in the NFL? Guess they must be racist against Whites too?

 

[Tom Bott]

Still on a brighter note, Burton have the cheapest pies and T in the division.

See how I diverted the thread back to the more important topic of football.

Keep racism out of football and football forums and life generally..

 

[Berlin Blade]

I should say, I despise racism. Most people who share this forum with me will know that. It’s pure unbridled, primitive hatred with no arguable justification at all. I’m loathe to label a bloke who seems, whatever you think of his managerial ability, a thoroughly decent guy (turning up unannounced at the sleep-out for example) a despicable name like that on the basis of hearsay and flimsy anecdote.

I don’t condemn or disbelieve Lyle Taylor by the way, because I don’t know what he’s said or even if he’s said anything at all. If and when he
speaks for himself I’ll listen with care.

I do, however, blame Roygbiv for starting all this...

Christ, people like you are utter bores.

Nope, not offended at all. Not pretending to be outraged either. Just playing devil's advocate. He might not be lying, that's all i'm saying.

[Pawk Patrol]

Burton have a forum?

Does it have a quorum?

 

[bridgfordblade]

Somebody better get hold of Lucas Akins, Lloyd dyer, sean scannell, hope akpan and marvin sordell quick smart. NC's clearly a racist with no time for black lads.

 

[Redflame]

Cheers Buddy glad your back UTB

 

[metty]

Cheers Roy

Ah! But Bridgford, dems da exceptions wot prove da rule am finkin.

 

[sportinguista]

I live in Warsaw and you might have read reports about the Independence Day marches here last weekend...you know, the press reports told you 60,000 neo-nazis paraded through the city...well, if I'm not mistaken I'm sure I saw Nigel Clough there and if you look on the photo he's the one behind the lad holding the flare. In fact I also think the lad holding the flare might have pulled down some air conditioning at Doncaster.

 

[beatific blade]

Hopefully this signals the end of the "your favourite ground to take a shit at half time?" type threads...

Cheers Roy. Much appreciated as always.

[Pierre's PC]

I wonder if the Burton forum has an equivalent of WWF.

 

[Large Mendonca]

Just listening to FH right now and it sounds like Giddings doesn't fancy us at all

All the good reason to fookin lump some money on us

 

[Tommoblade66]

All the good reason to fookin lump some money on us

Could do with longer odds

 

[8lade]

English justice assumes that a person is innocent of any allegations made against him or her until they are proven.

Unless it's a sex offence, then the justice system is happy for the media to print or state your name as much as it pleases, prejudicing the case.

 

[IOM Blade]

More average player bollocks. Team's are still underestimating us. Even big old Burton.....

'Clearly they are flying and in great form but man for man you could make a case for us matching them.'

'They are massively overperforming so far, hopefully we go back to our old ways at home and get a result'

 

[elgoog44]

Impressive that every single one of their fans has made a contribution to this.

 

[I should coco]

There's loads and loads of anecdotal evidence of Clough's racism though an some big signs too. He signed about 75 players for us and about 2 of them had darker skin.

'Loads and loads' of it and yet you have provided exactly NO proof.

Here's yer' actual facts: Clough signed 30 players in total (19 permanent, 11 loan) and this included 3 black players (JCR, Jug eared twat, COG). That is 10% which isn't far off the 2011 UK censsus result of 11% of the UK population.

Please provide some evidence before you accuse Clough; put up or shut up.

The parallels between this and the ongoing sexual harrassment cases is scary.

The paralells are non existent. Even if Clough is a bit disinclined to sign many black players, that doesn't mean he will use his position to abuse them. Absolute nonsense and scare tactics of the highest order.

You seem to spend your entire existences looking for whatever 'isms' you can pretend to be outraged about based on absolutely no evidence.

Well said.

 

[Davie Blade]

Impressive that every single one of their fans who can read and type has made a contribution to this.

Corrected.

Warm congrats to the 2 fans who stay up all night trying to string more than one sentence together.
Great effort.

 

[Wards]

Cloughie taking big gambles on injury prone players? Nah, never!

 

[elgoog44]

Corrected.
