Really enjoyed it

Some great old footage of his early days, to Aberdeen then his all conquering Man Utd

Man Utd will never be that force again

For me in my time, him & Cloughy were the best 2 managers in the game
 
A very good watch. It was only when watching it that I could appreciate the scale of his achievements with Aberdeen; I'm only in my mid-thirties, so my childhood was him winning cup after cup at Man Utd and Aberdeen was a little sidenote in his past.
 
Yes it's a decent one.

The Wenger one is a good watch too.

Is give the Robbo and Rooney ones swerve, unless you've got lots of spare time!
 
The greatest manager in the history of British football. It's not even up for debate.
He was certainly at the richest club in Britain when the game switched from a pretence of providing a level playing field to one in which having money was celebrated.

Got it recorded Erimus, please don't spoil the ending for me . Looking in forward to watching it.
 
As good as his record was at Man U I still say his greatest achievement was at Aberdeen.

As He did the impossible with Aberdeen to beat not just one but both of the evil twins to finish top in Scotland was staggering and even now no one has come close.

This sums it up

Brian Clough won as many European Cups, Bob Paisley won one more.

I think there is a debate to be had.

Brian Clough won 2 league titles in all his years of management.

Sir Alex Ferguson won 16.

As above, what he did with Aberdeen alone is incredible, 3 league titles, 5 cups and a European trophy in a division where the big two have always had a crippling stranglehold on it.

Brian Clough was an excellent manager, but their two records aren't even close.

I agree, Liverpool at the time were buying big but were on a different planet to Man Utd, they just couldnt compete with United
Ferguson would go out & by an unknown player & he would improve the team, his signings just clicked

He certainly had the magic touch, United will continue to spend millions & wont even stand still, they'll continue to go backwards

Good to see mind
