Most impactful manager in the first 8 years of their tenure

Because he was a Geordie, not a Mickey.

Yeah; I knew that. My "considering" was based on the old theory that if you lie down with dogs, you get fleas. AKA, spend long enough in a particular location and you become one of the locals. Look at Pep!

What about Clough’s first 8 years at Forest?

Well said, young man!

I think he won approx 5/6 trophies. Better than Fergie.

And Bill Shankly won 4 major honours in his first 8 years. Major honours does not include 2nd division or charity/community shield. Pep on a like for like basis is the best we've ever seen in England, but always good to have the facts to silence the morons.

Took Clough 6 years to win two Euro Cups.
Fergie won his first after 13 years and 2nd after 22 and both times they were jammy, lucky and flukey bastards

Didn't Stepney pull off an Ortega - type save in a one on one against Eusebio late on in the 1968 final, when it was 1-1?

I wouldn’t say that Cloughie was the best manager, but he was certainly in the top one.
