Not news, but this popped up in my YouTube feed. Had seen it before but seeing it again reminded me of how remarkable it was. A guy gets fired after 7 weeks on the job of the previous champions, and goes on TV THAT night for a 25 minutes interview with the guy he replaced.




Cant fathom that today, in any sport. Imagine Pep taking the England Job one offseason, Jose going to City (let's say Pep had won the league) and getting fired by the Shiekh 8 matches in, and going on TV that same night with Pep to have it out?


Of course,Clough went on to win 4 league titles and two European Championships with Forest a few years later.

And that took a deep dive into his first interview on the same program when he got the Leeds job. Look at the entitled press at the beginning (pipe smoking ftw) and shuffle uncomfortably at the very end.
