pej1956 Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 At the time I was gutted and pissed off he was sacked. But the new found optimism and excitement that was lost long ago is back. Really hopes he does well at Sheff Utd but the sacking does seem the right decision, football seems fun again. Personally delighted he's gone. I'd give him till this time next year when the sacking season starts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
notts_ram Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 72% on here do not want him http://www.s24su.com/forum/index.php?threads/would-clough-be-your-1st-choice.31815/ Quite clever in as much as the person making the poll would have known that this would not have brought about the majority of folks wanting Clough as manager as no other alternatives were given......the 72% could all have wanted Mourinho, Wenger etc. as their number one choices in their delusions minds so results are meaningless Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
notts_ram Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 Anyone seen a manager hold his hands up and say yeah, I deserved to get sacked? Weir did a good job to be honest when he admitted he understood why he was relieved of his duties funnily enough at The Blades Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

May Contain Nuts Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 I still can't really believe he's gone there, I HOPE it goes well for him there and he's given enough time to be a success, but I'm not sure he will be (given time, I mean) Since 2007 the most amount of games a Sheffield Utd manager has been given is 125 (Kevin Blackwell). Danny Wilson had 106 games, with a 50% win rate and a play-off final loss the season before... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BOB BIGGS Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 You heard it here first. Personally delighted for him. I hope he does really well there. I hope we continue to do well too. It might turn out best for all in the long term. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

REDCAR Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 "It was difficult leaving Derby County but this will help. We are here to do a job and we will use the anger, the feeling of disappointment and the sense of injustice of leaving Derby as an incentive to succeed with Sheffield United."

smiffy Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 Don't suppose Clough would loan us Harry Maguire :wacko: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ronnieronalde Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 Don't suppose Clough would loan us Harry Maguire :wacko: I reckon he would Smiffy honestly. Throw in Jake and one the young lads (maybe Jacobs or Bennett) and he'd probably snap our hands off. I don't know why but I get the feeling there is some tension between him and the CEO/Board though and probably a bit the other way around as well, I'm not sure Derby will look to do him any favours but think if he could get a Bucko for Maguire swap in the postion they're in, he'd take it for footballing reasons. Maguire's got a lot of potential but Nigel needs real men, he's in another relegation battle, he doesn't need flash harries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mostyn6 Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 The press conference if anybodies interested. I don't think he comes across as very bitter or angry at all. I don't think he comes across as ready to step back into football management though. I think he's gutted. Understandably so.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
