Saint_Lane Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 After watching Damned United, I had a ' I wonder ' moment... I'd love to create a save with the Human manager as Brian Clough, play a 'what if' scenario for this legendary manager as if he was still with us today. Go back to Forest, Derby or maybe even Leeds? And see if you can get the England job, something Clough never acheived despite all his success, particularly with the great Forest side. It would be great to manage as Clough did himself, be outspoken in the media, charismatic, and take nothing from anyone... Would be a great challenge over in the sign up forums maybe?

As brilliant as Brian Clough was he wasn't half as good without Peter Taylor by his side. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nottingham Forest Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 you have to like your drink to manage as him Uncalled for. As cruyff14 has said Clough wasn't as good with Taylor not there. Just look at Leeds and possibly Forest when Taylor 'retired'. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
robbert_o154 Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 It would be great to manage as Clough did himself, be outspoken in the media, charismatic, and take nothing from anyone... That'd be one of the best things about it, doing the press conferences and team talks etc. 'in character'. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although I read the Nottingham paper and there was a bit from Viv Andersons book, I think and they still spoke. So the rift wasn't as bad. If I read it right. Still sad though.

I'm not sure either now you have said that. I know when they done a television program about him last year was it? I seem to remember Brian's wife Barbara saying that it always played on Brian's mind that they had never made up, and he regretted that he would never be able to after Peter's death. I also found this on a website another source claiming the rift was never healed - "When the assistant coach at Forest telephoned Clough to inform him of Taylor's death, he did not say anything and put the phone down. He allegedly cried heavily after this and his bad feeling over the unreconciled rift increased Clough's already heavy drinking." Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ArranoBeltza Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 As brilliant as Brian Clough was he wasn't half as good without Peter Taylor by his side. Yeah, I watched 'The Damned United' recently and, even as an American, I could tell this. It may not be 100& true, but wasn't that a huge point of the movie?

Vammy Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 I watched the Damned united about 3 or 4 times now and every time I've watched it I have wanted to create a save as Brian Clough but haven't got round to it. Would be a good challenge I think. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
