Maybe not the best advice 11:08 - Dec 6 with 1199 views | welwynranger | Sean Dyce has allegedly told his player not to worry about Mo Salah in the Merseyside Derby. During his 42 day spell as manager of Leeds Brian Clough told hs players not to worry about Stan Bowles when they played Rangers. Match score Leeds 0 QPR1 Scorer Bowles | | | | |

Maybe not the best advice on 13:38 - Dec 6 with 891 views | timjones | In the film, The Damned United, when managing Leeds he definitely refers to the need to stop Stan Bowles from playing if they want to win the match. He obviously then signed Stan later so I think he had a high regard for him. Stan's thoughts were different though with his famous quote that when he was at Forest that they communicated by rumour because Clough was rarely at training. Fantastic manager though. | | | |

Stan's opinion of Clough was that he was overrated and had little involvement in training. (Mind you, he said that about a lot of people, including Trevor Brooking, who was a better and more consistent, if less entertaining, midfielder, though it sticks in my craw to say so.)
