I suppose it would depend on whether Fawaz allowed him to get involved in the financial side of transfer deals young man :D

Think Brian's views of even half decent Chairmen are pretty well documented.
The Weirdo at the Florists wouldn't have enjoyed conversation s with his manager much. :)

Clough might have said something like " Well, Mr Fawaz this is how it works. You keep out of my way and I'll manage the club" "Is that okay, young man?"

Just seen this and fair play to Clough. He must have been imagined a fair wedge and it's a nail in the coffin for Rovers definitely. A big lift for the club.

Apparently loads of Forest fans had tweeted "don't come, Nigel", says it all really.

" Any Chairman who sacks a Manager he originally appointed, should resign himself ! " ... Brian Clough

As the Florists are looking for their 7th permanant manager in less than four and a half years, and are currently up for sale, Nigel Clough would have been mad to leave Burton at this time..
