Cloughie left out of football manager compilation
FOREST legend Brian Clough has been left out of a limited edition collage of managers who have shaped English football.
Forty-five managers have been included in the commemorative print, commissioned by the League Managers Association.
-
Brian Clough
But double European Cup winner Cloughie is not included in the work, entitled
Football management: Past, Present and Future
.
A total of 200 copies have been made and 50 have been signed by England manager Fabio Capello. It is hoped they will raise thousands of pounds for charity in raffles and auctions.
LMA chief executive Richard Bevan said: "People should not read anything into who is or who is not included. It is not meant to be a definitive collection of the best or most popular or famous managers."
However, a second in a series of five LMA prints is set to feature an individual image of Cloughie, who won the European Cup with Forest in 1979 and 1980.

“What a joke!! He took both Derby and Forest to league titles, he won the European cup in 2 consecutive years with forest, he was the first manager to spend £1,000,000 on a player, he was a genius and ran his team how he wanted it to be run. Absolute legend in many people¿s eyes. Its unfortunate that the idiots at the LMA couldn't spot a great manager back then when Cloughie should have managed England, and they can't even spot a great football legend today.”

“They should hang their heads in shame, Cloughie was the best manager ever! For gods sake he was known all around the world. Even today if you go abroad and say your from Nottingham they reply "Nottingham Forest, BRIAN CLOUGH"
I for one will not be buying this book.”

“Bloody crime to leave old big ead out of the collage.
He was one of the biggest and most influential managers in the game at one time.
They all need their heads checking if they think different.”
