Brian Clough - Old big 'ead in his own words

[@billybronco4223]

There was a time in the 1970s when the funniest comedians on TV were Brian Clough and Muhammad Ali.

Absolute Football legend, England would have won another world cup, If the FA had given him the chance. but he never got it, because he was not a yes man. yes men win nothing.

[@SMSJSC]

I don't go along with this steadfast belief that Clough would have won a World Cup as England manager. Club management is a world away from managing the national team. Many successful club managers could not replicate that success with England. However, I do believe Clough should have been given the chance - provided he had Peter Taylor with him. With the best will in the world, Clough was not the same without Taylor by his side.

[@regaltip8A]

@@SMSJSC Very good comment. I agree.

[@deanholloway9846]

@ Stuart s totally agree with your comment if clough had got the job in 77 and took Taylor. Would of not guaranteed a england trophy but given us a better chance. But as a true red if he had got the job forest would not of won the trophies they won . Football genius Brian clough R I P

Clough was good at building things from scratch but he would have struggled with established international players the same way he struggled with Leeds, which was full of established international players that he pissed off with his ‘my way or the highway’ style!

[@nev7711]

Greatness seems to be the label this man should be tagged with. What he did at Derby and Nottingham in 70s and 80s was unbelievable with the money available to him (Trevor Francis an exception). His health problems and falling out with Peter Taylor had a big effect on him. A patriotic man who the FA ignored. As result England didn't qualify for the World Cup on 1978

[@Edward1312]

He was always going to be a success (and its obvious he could have been a successful CEO of a company outside football if he wanted to because he had all the attributes) whatever era he was a manager because he had the quick mind, flair, intelligence, insight, humour and charisma. The ability to read the game and players (Dave McKay not needing to break a sweat ( and he was right he didn't need to, what a master stroke to bring him in!) stands out and the confidence you need that young man, you need to believe in yourself to be able to instill that confidence in the players. Shame he needed to replace cigarrettes with drinking but everyone needs a crutch when you are under constant pressure and scrutiny.

As a Celtic fan, the best Brian Clough quote ive heard is when Forest came to Parkhead in the early 80s. Someone apparently said, "lotta history here, Boss, look at the size of the place." Clough: "Aye its big but its a dump. Wheres the fuckin seats?"

[@deanholloway9846]

Vaguely remember this uefa cup tie first leg at forest 0-0 played on a frozen pitch . But cloughie as always installed confidence in his team and think we won 1-2 . When we drew 3-3 in European cup v’s cologne his quote for me one of his best . Obviously cologne as favourites clough said I hope nobody stupid enough to write us off with a cheeky lingering smile in to the . Camera. Clough to us was a football genius as was jock stien to you . R I P both you heroes .

[@johnnydancer69]

And don't we miss him.

[@BillyBronco73]

Clough and Taylor took not one but two Midlands clubs from the 2nd tier of English football to the very top of the 1st division. He joined Nottingham Forest in 1975 in the 2nd division and by 1978 they were English champions. In 1979 and 1980 they were European champions. Incredible achievements. The sad thing was Clough fell out with Taylor not long after and they never spoke again. I wonder if the fall out had something to do with Clough's excessive drinking and alcoholism in later years.

[@markstevenfall]

My grandparents used to live on Olivier Street in Derby which ran parallel to The Baseball Ground where Derby County used to play. Cloughie decided that the players needed more parking space, and it was agreed that the only way to create the space needed was to knock the houses down in Olivier Street, and somehow Cloughie and the council managed to persuade all the residents it was the right thing to do. Olivier Street was no more. I kid you not, in Derby, Brian Clough was loved more than any other for what he'd achieved with our football club, and even today most would not have a bad word said against him. When you are quoted as saying "The biggest mistake I ever made was leaving Derby County", at this end of the A52 (now 'Brian Clough Way') that's going to endear you to many for a very long time to come...🙂👍 🐑 🐑 🐑

@@snads8415 Only with Taylor as his sidekick though. Revie would (and should) have in fact won a lot more if it had not been for bad luck (e.g. F.A. cup finals 1970 and 1973), biased F.A. and utterly bent refs (European Cup Winners Cup 1973, European Cup 1975). What regards the "cold and dull" fans: LOL! Best support in England (especially away). By quite a distance, too. Proper late 1980s/early 1990s atmosphere, not the sanitized middle-class/tourist shite you get in most PL grounds these days.

Brian Clough was a great commentator but this constant quipping to make everyone laugh, plus the almost obsessive need for self praise indicates a form of schizophrenia. Its also slightly narcissistic to claim that you are the authority on everything. He functioned but in later life succumbed to addiction to alcohol. If he had schizophrenia he could have been self medicating to counter feelings of isolation.

[@00p-u1t]

If anything I think he had Narcissistic Personality Disorder. I see no evidence of him suffering from delusions, thought disorder, hallucinations or heard him say he hears voices. I guess with some of his views they are typical of a guy born in March 1935 and he was of his time.
