Lol - Cloughie used to hit his players quite a lot!

If he'd done it once, it would have been national news - as he did it every week, nobody batted an eyelid.

"Ow, he just hit me!"
"Well, you shouldn't have been so s**t then, should you Tiler?"
"I suppose not. Fair point."

- what did they say? (n/m) (NCFC) - SCC 28, Jan 17, 17:56:56
  - Roeder put too much pressure on them basically. Never confident in playing (NCFC) - megson, Jan 17, 17:58:21
    - Surely a delicate balance though (NCFC) - Worzel Scrimmage, Jan 17, 18:04:37
      - Correct (NCFC) - BerlinCanary, Jan 17, 18:11:22
      - It's the managerial partnership that's important - "good cop/bad cop" stuff (NCFC) - CB41, Jan 17, 18:08:36
        
        The Brian Clough/Peter Taylor partnership was the ultimate example of that. (NCFC) - Ottosson Foxtrot, Jan 17, 18:09:26
        
        Having said that about Fergie though (NCFC) - Worzel Scrimmage, Jan 17, 18:12:31
        
        Plenty of Brian Clough's players were, too. (NCFC) - Ottosson Foxtrot, Jan 17, 18:14:56
        
        get these quotes on Clough's management from Keane (NCFC) - Worzel Scrimmage, Jan 17, 18:19:35

        Who was it he punched in the stomach? (NCFC) - BerlinCanary, Jan 17, 18:26:32
        
        oh, that went wrong... (NCFC) - BerlinCanary, Jan 17, 18:27:20
        
        haha a classic. Thought that was keane to be honest but now I think it was someone else (NCFC) - Worzel Scrimmage, Jan 17, 18:33:21
        
        No, definitely not Keane - name's on the tip of my tongue (NCFC) - BerlinCanary, Jan 17, 18:41:55
        
        It was Nigel Jenson (NCFC) - BerlinCanary, Jan 17, 18:44:51
        
        I think the key is "respect". If your players respect you, I suspect (NCFC) - CB41, Jan 17, 18:17:12
        
        yeah worthy could be a shouter (NCFC) - SCC 28, Jan 17, 18:18:46
        
        yes, also correct (n/m) (NCFC) - Worzel Scrimmage, Jan 17, 18:18:23
        
        He didn't do ANY coaching either. (n/m) (NCFC) - CB41, Jan 17, 18:10:55
    - ah makes sense then (NCFC) - SCC 28, Jan 17, 18:00:58
      - basically yeah. (n/m) (NCFC) - megson, Jan 17, 18:02:09
        
        shows we do have the quality (n/m) (NCFC) - SCC 28, Jan 17, 18:03:08
  - The team had no freedom and players played with fear basically (n/m) (NCFC) - XXL16s_babyface, Jan 17, 17:57:51
