Vernon1867 Posted October 17, 2017 Author Share Posted October 17, 2017 You can dismiss Clough all you like, but if we're considering Moyes, Lambert and Karanka you can bet we'll be considering Clough too. And as I said, sometimes the less obvious suggestions are the best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HOOTIE AND THE SHIT TU Posted October 17, 2017 Share Posted October 17, 2017 It gets better I’d sooner have Daffy Duck Just a bloke, who used up all his luck in one go when he met his wife. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He also definitely wouldn't get on with Chansiri. Clough wants to be in charge of everything and do it his way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

matthefish2002 Posted October 17, 2017 Share Posted October 17, 2017 Got a feeling if we do replace CC it will be someone the vast majority on here will not be familiar with. Karanka would be good shout, not that he would be my first choice but type of coach we would go for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff King's dog Posted October 17, 2017 Share Posted October 17, 2017 (edited) After the debacle at Manyoo and the Mackems, Moyes needs another 'difficult' job like a hole in the head. It will be a very polite 'no thanks'. Lambert needs to get back on the horse at a big club and could be up for it. Having said that working under dictortorial foreign owners didn't go well for him at Wolves, so he will be very cautious about DC. Don't much about Karanka but I would have thought he could get something decent in Spain/Portugal. Those who accuse Clough of being defensive should check out this guy's record! True he got Boro up, but a woeful lack of inclination to attack in any PL games, brought them straight back down. My money is on another left field foreigner that no-one will have heard of. How many on here suggested CC as a replacement for Gray? Edited October 17, 2017 by Jeff King's dog error Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OWLS about that? Posted October 17, 2017 Share Posted October 17, 2017 2 hours ago, Vernon1867 said: Not seen his name mentioned yet but I think he'd be a great option for us should CC get the boot. Sometimes the less obvious candidates are the best options. He got Burton up and has done well to keep them as competitive as they are, punching well above their weight. And what we need is someone who can be trusted to get us punching somewhere near ours. If that happened then top 6 would be highly likely, and that's something we'd all surely take at this point. He managed United, so what. He was harshly sacked. He had them playing some exciting stuff and did well to get them to the play offs, not to mention the cup runs. He's managed a big club before in Derby (not as big as us I know) so that's another plus. He seems like a solid character with no real flaws, someone who won't let petty agendas and stubbornness get in the way of doing what's right. He also seems to have a great scouting network looking at what he's got for his money at Burton. Value for money is certainly something we can.... improve. If CC is to go let's get someone who'll get the best out of what we have, play positive football, never settle for a draw and show real ambition to get us promoted ASAP. That man for me is Nigel Clough. Oh god you're being serious aren't you? No....just no 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
