Brian Clough quotes!
Posted by: | CommentsBrian Clough – His achievement of winning back-to-back European Cups with Nottingham Forest is considered to be one of the greatest in football history.
Charismatic, outspoken, and often controversial, Clough is widely considered to be one of the greatest managers of the English game and the greatest English manager never to manage the England team. On being asked his attitude towards the England selectors he replied, “I’m sure the England selectors thought if they took me on and gave me the job, I’d want to run the show. They were shrewd because that’s exactly what I would have done” (Quote from Wikipedia.)
Some of my favourite quotes…
I wouldn’t say I was the best manager in the business. But I was in the top one.
Players lose you games, not tactics. There’s so much crap talked about tactics by people who barely know how to win at dominoes.
The river Trent is lovely, I know because I have walked on it for 18 years.
“We talk about it for 20 minutes and then we decide I was right” – On dealing with players who disagree with him.
