Exactly, 10 years of hard work and just when it looked like promotion was near - he leaves! I wonder who will take the Burton job now because they are in a good position but need to be sensible in their next appointment.

I guess it works for him as he gets lots of credit for doing a good job at Burton without the risk of actually having to manage them in the League. Perhaps he thinks that they don't have the backing to do much when they do get up and this way he looks better. Either that or he just really wanted the Forest job.

I would have been horrified if Clough had got the Town job

I think Fairclough is staying at Barnet in a different role.

Fairclough is England C manager as well I think. On a related note he is staying at Barnet as a director although if offered a job at another club I dare say he would take it. I think he took the high road as Barnet didn't want to sack him after what he did for the club so...

Anyone listening to Pearson explaining the decision on 5Live? No sentiment my arse.

And also, "PRO-Ject" is really irritating.

I'm the same with people asking me about a 'fill-um" instead of film.

I'm surprised that Clough has left Burton after so many loyal years and so many offers to join league clubs.
They have been on the fringes for so many years, and now when they look like they will make it, he goes.

Good luck to him, carry on the family tradition.

I'm surprised as well. His Dad won the League with Derby, his son doesn't have a hope. The best Derby can hope for is getting to the Premiership now and then and maybe survive a year or two.

He would have been better to see Burton up, then maybe take a job elsewhere if he wanted to move on.

Big risk for Derby taking a one (non-league) club manger on.

I think he will prove to be an excellent appointment. Loyal, successful, local and - despite his and his dad's connections with the other lot - a born-and-raised Derby fan. If the club show him the commitment that he will undoubtedly show them, he will get them moving in the right direction.

And Bedford, I'm afraid you're talking bollocks. I'm not saying they can win the Premier League, but Derby County are as big a club as (or bigger than): Blackburn, Fulham, Middlesbrough, Portsmouth, Wigan, Bolton, West Ham...

On attendances alone, and they are only in the Championship.
I think "Our Nige" will be as good as his old man.
Pity he did not end up here.

Oh right attendances alone. On that basis newcastle are bigger than liverpool. But thats a different argument completely.

Derby county will be playing in league one next season
