Bollocks.
I'm consciously posting less but I'm not in the huff. Some halfwits have been calling me 'Cloughie' for years. It's neither new nor especially annoying as Clough was in fact a genius.
And it's E
wan.
Ewan, if you haven't read it, read The Damned Utd, an absolutely superb fiction account of Clough's 44 days at Leeds United.
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Damned-Utd-David-Peace/dp/0571224261Stuart Cash the assistant manager at AFC Wimbledon played under Clough and told me recently a story that sums up the man. He was scouting at Burton Albion with Terry Brown a few years ago for Aldershot and a quite ill Clough Senior was in the crowd as his son was manager. At half-time Terry Brown persuaded Cash to go over and say hello to Clough as he wanted to be introduced to him. Cash went up to Clough and said "good evening Mr Clough, you may not remember me but I'm Stuart Cash and I played left back for you at Nottingham Forest." Clough, quick as a flash said, "oh yes Cash, I remember you...you were the worst left back I ever signed!"
Anyway, as someone who doesn't get up to many games, I must say I miss your analysis and comments on the Queens games. I don't know why you're not posting on the game threads so much...but your posts on the match threads were always fair, thorough and interesting.
