Thought of the Day

Some quotes from Brian Clough – renowned Nottingham Forest Football Manager :

• I wouldn't say I was the best manager in the business. But I was in the top one.
• When I go, God's going to have to give up his favourite chair.
• If a chairman sacks the manager he initially appointed, he should go as well.
• Beckham? His wife can't sing and his barber can't cut hair.
• They say Rome wasn't built in a day, but I wasn't on that particular job.
• Telling the entire world and his dog how good a manager I was. I knew I was the best but I should have said nowt and kept the pressure off 'cos they'd have worked it out for themselves.
• Don't send me flowers when I'm dead. If you like me, send them while I'm alive.
• The river Trent is lovely, I know because I have walked on it for 18 years.
• Players lose you games, not tactics. There's so much crap talked about tactics by people who barely know how to win at dominoes.
• That Seaman is a handsome young man but he spends too much time looking in his mirror rather than at the ball. You can't keep goal with hair like that.
• I've decided to pick my moment to retire very carefully – in about 200 years time.

Brian Clough a man of much skill and modesty !
