The man was as mad as a hatter but I kind of miss him.
Always thought he came across as a bit of a bully in that interview, although overall I did like the mad ****.

Very good.
Cloughie was never one to mince his words.

And Derby before that.Probably the best british manager ever? what he did with forest was nothing short of a miracle.
And I agree that he was the best British manager.

That was how he was. A total despot and arrogant. It was his way or the highway. Some of the stories on the way he treated players defy belief. He'd be cancelled and sacked these days and probably sued as well.

If we was alive now he'd be a reform MP.

I vaguely remember him as a youngster but I’ve learned more about him since. He was a flawed genius for me.

Probably labour the way they're shaping up.

All geniuses are usually a bit crazy and eccentric. What he did at Derby and Forest was pretty remarkable. I was a kid watching football in those times and he was a huge character. He should have been the England manager but the stuffy suits of the fa would never entertain that.
Looking back now, although it was some achievement what he achieved with small town clubs like Forest and Derby, I don't think the gap between clubs was as big as it is now.
