Seems our two rivals at the top have both gained new managers at a time when conventional wisdom would suggest a dangerous time to make such brave changes?
Will it back fire on them both with a lack of focus and be seen as a "confident sapping two fingers at the players" from the departing manager and board having done so well so far?
Or will the new incumbents change nothing, reinvigorate the good season so far and add something a little extra?
Clough is like a long lost son at Burton but they say never go back don't they?
He failed to achieve his goal at Derby where a few tweaks from Mc.Claren and this season under Paul Clement look set to go one better.
My personal view is that it will be difficult for them under a new guy to maintain focus and new guys will have ways of doing things which means inevitable changes to their routines. Even small tinkering will be a nuisance at worse and upsetting the apple cart at best.
Think this plays into TM hands. What's your thoughts?
