If Brian Clough was England Manager...
“Young man, young man, what the hell do you think you are doing?
“I’m taking the knee boss”
“Pride Month, it may be, but if you want to come out and present your backside to other men you can do that in your own time.”
“No boss it’s nothing to do with that, it’s about George Floyd”
“The drug addict, American career criminal who pointed a gun against a pregnant woman’s stomach, was he a relative?”
“ No boss, it’s more about equality”
“Equality, 70% of the team is black already..”
“ No boss, it’s more about white privilege”
“ Young man, most of those watching have a working class heritage of grinding poverty, industrial diseases, overcrowded housing and chronic infant mortality”.”You’re swanning around in a car worth more than most of them will ever earn in their lives.”
“But boss the FA are OK with it”
“The FA, that’s why they call them the FA, coz they know FA about football or anything else for that matter”
“But boss the fans keep booing”
“Too right they are booing, you're supporting an organisation that burns the Union Jack at the Cenotaph, the Cenotaph, it’s a wonder, you’re still alive.”
“But I want to make a political statement boss.”
“Then go to Speakers Corner in Hyde Park, I’ll get you a stab-proof vest if you like”
“ But the fans need re-educating boss”
“ If they wanted politics they’d be watching Question Time, they’ve come to see a game of football.”
“ So you’re giving me no choice then”
“Of course you’ve got a choice young man, get up off your knee or give me that shirt back because you’ll never be needing it again.” |  |

I don't thik Clough would last a week in the modern game. Too much straight talking, swearing and shouting and he'd probably end up on an assault charge too! | |

This is a classic own goal.
Clough would be more BLM than anyone.
Clough gave tickets for Derby’s games to striking miners, canvassing for Labour in elections, and working behind the scenes to foment a proposed players’ strike and mass protests when he was ousted as Derby manager.
When Clough, taking over from his arch rival Don Revie at Leeds, has the revered Revie’s office furniture and ‘lucky suit’ burned.
When being interviewed on Yorkshire Television by Austin Mitchell (yes, that Austin Mitchell) just after he was asked about ‘the Don’’s legacy, he was asked;
‘You’re not a superstitious man then, Brian?
No, Austin, I’m not, I tell him. I’m a socialist.’

I think he would be appalled at the cult of Jeremy Corbyn. But he was socialist in once sense he would listen to everyone else views then decide he was right in the first place. | |
