I rate Clough as an excellent, truly excellent manager who'd have been ideally suited to a 60s or 70s managerial gig, where a club'd give him time to build.
For his own sake, he should jump as soon as he gets a bigger chance, though!
If we can't go up, the likes of Burton going up give me back a little faith in football, whatever happens next season.
Be interesting to see if Burton do the same as Yeovil as I can only see them struggling next year and once the momentum has gone, saying that based only tipping ability they will get promoted
Nigel clough got a handy job there promotion was handed into his lap he couldn't manage it at Sheffield utd

Burton were left by Jimmy Floyd, in an excellent position for Clough to take charge
Clough left Burton for Derby in 2009???
...and stops him building the foundations how?
Burton were left by Jimmy Floyd, in an excellent position for Clough to take charge, they were at one point 10-12 points clear at the top but have been caught by Wigan(MY prediction to win the league by at least 4-5 points a while ago) There slide has not been noticed because even now they are in 2nd place 1 point behind Wigan.... BUT! look at their W,L,D ratio since Feb 22nd...... W3..D4..L3... 6 weeks and 10 games. Not very good, in fact very poor for a team looking to win auto promotion. 21 points droppedRemind you of anyone?
Wigan coming up fast on the inside.. probably nailed on to be champions now.
It is somewhere to lose all there other debt
Don't know wether you've noticed NW, but Burton are in their worst run of form since Jimmy Floyd handed over the reigns to Clough... Just saying
And how is a momentary blip in form, one way or another, relevant to the foundations built by a club or manager?

Their run of form and building the club started before Jimmy Floyd. In fact you can go back to Cloughs first stint as manager there....they are in good hands.
This small line could basically sum it up. I fully expect us to show a large loss again next Feb, mainly created by substantial multi million pound management charges imposed on the club accounts at some point. This will inevitably be used to offset profit elsewhere in the Group, nullifying tax obligations. Whilst this doesn't necessarily affect the playing budget, it means we won't be rid of the leeches !
