Nigel Clough

Oakster

Doing a fantastic job at Burton - suprised he is never linked with jobs further up the league.

northstandsteve

because he has been doin a fantastic job for the past 6 years and as yet hasn't got them in the league.

Ledge

maybe he's happy where he is - considering how small a club it is I thinl they do well to stay in that league considering som eof the bigger clubs there.

Could be to do with what the pressure of high level management did to his father.

I think it's because he still plays for them and wants to continue to do so. I'd be surprised if he hasn't had offers over the years.

Still playing ? Blimey, Nigel Clough must be about my age ....(!)


Edit:

Actually, I didn't quite get that right:

"....Having now passed his 42nd birthday, Clough is still registered as a player which possibly explains his apparent lack of ambition to move into League management (his father bitterly lamented the premature curtailment of his own playing career)."

BlackForestReds

I'm sure he's had job offers, but he seems to be happy where he is and if so fair enough. I don't suppose he's on a bad package and gets to see his kids grow up and have a decent quality of life. If that's what he wants from his career then that's fine.

Just confirmed as Derby boss.

Good Luck Young Man..

BigRedEvil

Risky appointment. Could end up with them being relegated :-|

Stig

How many other father-sons have there been that have managed the same club?

BexleyRed

Good luck to him. What a sentimental journey that must be.

How hold is Curbs' lad Michael?

Or there's his daughter Claire - after Karen Brady and Delia Smith, what about a female manager ? Last time I spoke to her she was working for music biz publicist Barbara Charone and offering me tickets to see Rufus Wainwright! Not sure where she went after that...

Doesn't Pardew have a son?

Pretty surprised by this to be honest.

Thought he would have stayed and finished the job at Burton.
