Guessing that your bet is still love as the market is 'next permanent manager'. So are you going to share who you think the next Burton manager is going to be so I can get a bet on?!

I think chairman and fans would be realistic and a good job may well be seen as going decently in league 1, I do agree they probably won't go much higher than now though.

CLOUGH1971-72 Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 So the name of the thread (clough and burton) have taken 4 points from us this season and kept 2 clean sheets. Clough should still be derby manager and we'd be half way up the premiership now and nobody can say otherwise because we've proven to be a failure having invest 150 million and still being in the same position. If if clough had that investment we'd be laughing. No wonder this threads quiet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RamNut Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 150m? I heard garner say that. where the f have we spent 150m? We have spend amount £40m on players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Sheriff Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 I really don't think we would be in the premier if we still had negative Nigel. Away from home I cant remember us doing so well and he would play for a point too often. If you are chasing promotion you need to try and win every game I think. Don't get me wrong he did do a good job for us and shouldn't of been sacked but there is nothing to suggest he can spend money wisely and is a good fit for Burton.

Shaftesbury st Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 He was sacked because the feeling was he had taken us as far as he could. Many have come after him with bigger reputations and undoubtedly had substantially bigger budgets than him to work with...........Still haven't taken us any further than he did. i would argue we are in a worse state now, big wage bill, big fees paid for players that I doubt any other team would want for any fee similar to that which we paid. And obviously our league position. I'd also throw in there we have a manager that although can produce good football but seems more concerned with acting up to the stereotypical football boss. Cliches here and there and answers like a politician. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure how anybody can say he wouldn't spend money wisely, he's never had any anywhere he's been. Thats why he gets employed by the clubs he's worked at, he's the man to get a club stable and get decent players from nowhere Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The reason he gets employed at those clubs is because he is good with a small budget and stabilising clubs which is why I think he is a good fit at Burton.

Yeah we're in the same league, but primed to be competing for a play-off spot each season, not flirting with top half of the table. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
