Arthur Cox - was the man to bring back the good times after the lowest point in our history.

 

Who knows how further we could have gone had it not been for the European ban and a certain chairman.

 

Perhaps a poll for our 2nd best manager might actually be worthy of debate/poll.

 

Cox would be a good shout considering where he found us & where he took us to. But there again, Dave Mackay won a title. Tough one.

Sadly I read the article, must have been bored, quote Arthur Cox for back to back promotions from Div 3 to Div 1 in back to back seasons unquote  -surely back to back promotions must be in consecutive seasons or they wouldnt be back to back? Or was the hack writing the piece running out of inspiration so trying to fill up space?

In order it would go something like this..

 

Brian Clough

Arthur Cox

Mackay

Jim Smith

 

Many other managers including George Burley and Billy Davies

 

and then average/rubbish like these..

 

Nigel Clough

John Gregory

Paul Jewell

 

 

Well obviously no contest for best ever manager.

Best of recent times Arthur Cox and Jim Smith.

 

Worst would have to include Tommy Doc, John Gregory and Paul Jewell.

 

Theres quite a few other candidates for quite rubbish: Colin Addison, John Newman, Colin Todd .

Billy Davies would come into both best and worst categories, one of our best in the Championship , but probably the worst ever in the top flight.

Jury still out on Clough junior.

They're having a giraffe, surely...

Paul Jewell

Claude Davis

2007-08

Paul Connolly

Robbie Savage

Derby v Aston Villa, 12/4/2008

Feels wrong to not include the Preston game as the best game though. Carroll's effort against Villa though is worthy of recognition.

Abit lenient there Pete.. The jury was out on Phil Brown after 13 games with shouts of 'You don't know what you're doing' despite him only losing 3 games..

 

Yet Clough goes from losing more games than he's winning every season yet it's not fair to judge him?

 

If his name wasn't Clough he'd have been torn a new one by now..

No, he wouldn't.

 

For his all round achievements for DCFC since he took over, if Nigel Clough were to step down tomorrow, he would go down as having a very positive effect on the club.

 

The board are intelligent enough to judge him not purely on results.

 

What a shame this cannot be applied to you.
