The interviewers are a pair of bellends but it's great to hear a portion of an interview talking about himself.

He also talks about his relationship work wise with his dad when he started his own managerial career.

Simon going with him too as Head of Recruitment.

Hasn't he heard that they won't succeed unless they employ someone above him to burden him with loads of toss signings from some European none-league? :LOL:

With lockdown, think I'll be watching Stags progress pretty closely from now on. Surprised how excited I am about this appointment.

Re: Nigel Clough

Mansfield Town is delighted to announce the appointment of Nigel Clough as its new manager.

Mr. Clough, who has signed a contract at One Call Stadium until June 2023, is joined by assistant manager Gary Crosby and Simon Clough as head of recruitment.
Mr. Clough joins the Stags after spells in charge of Derby County, Sheffield United and Burton Albion.

As a player, he made over 300 league appearances for Nottingham Forest, becoming the second highest scorer in Forest’s history, before moving to Liverpool in 1993.

Mr. Clough also spent time with Manchester City and Burton Albion as a player, in a career that saw him make 14 caps for England.

His managerial career started with non-league Burton Albion in 1998, and after steady progress in each of his first three seasons, the Brewers were crowned champions of the Northern Premier League in his fourth term at the helm.
Burton were on course to earn promotion to the Football League for the first time in their history in the 2008/09 season, as Mr. Clough led them to the top of the Conference table, which included a run of 11 straight victories along the way.

He moved to Championship outfit Derby County in 2009, leaving a table-topping Burton side who would eventually go on to secure their Football League status in that season.

Derby had fears of relegation before Nigel Clough took charge, but the now-54-year-old improved the club’s form and finished 14th*in his first full term, four places higher than the previous campaign.
In 2011/12, he led the Rams to their best start to a season in 106 years, as they began their campaign with four victories from four.

He joined Sheffield United in 2013, and despite the Blades sitting in the relegation zone when he took charge, they ended the campaign seventh in League One.
Sheffield United also became the first third-tier side to reach the semi-finals of the FA Cup since 2001, a run which included victories over Premier League outfits Aston Villa and Fulham. This success led to Mr. Clough being named as the FA Cup Manager of the Year.

Nigel Clough returned to Burton Albion in 2015, guiding the Brewers to the Championship for the first time in their history.

Chairman John Radford and co-chairwoman Carolyn Radford said: “Nigel has an outstanding pedigree in football and a proven track record of significantly improving the teams he has managed.

“He brings 20 years’ managerial experience to the club and can provide the stability and leadership which we require at One Call Stadium.

“Our chief executive, David Sharpe, led the process of selecting our next manager and we, along with the board of directors, unanimously approved when Nigel was recommended.

“We consider Nigel’s appointment to be a real coup for Mansfield Town and he will have our full and unwavering support.”

Yeah, think they're happy.........

Arguably the greatest ever managerial appointment in Stags history
Wow wow and double wow
Well done JR and CR and Mr S
Thanks from us all Nigel for choosing Stags and been watching them since 1969

It is sad that we haven't give him a go here. I could understand it if we were against more hoofy-type managers, but EM's reign has totally turned it's back on our "traditional" footballing values, so no excuse from that angle.
