Either that or Derby ideally haha! Was shocked to see Clough has been sacked in real life this morning!

BREAKING NEWS Also, another two months have passed and the form just appears to be going nowhere!! It's official, we're up! With 7 games to go, we have been promoted to League 1. Unfortunately for Hartlepool (;)), we have decided that it's time to start hunting for that bottom half...

The great form continues and we find ourselves pulling away from the pack at the top of the League! Given our very limited options in central defence, I decided to make 100% sure we were covered and signed four centre backs on loan, yes four, just to be safe! I also brought in a backup...

We're now into January and our pretty consistent form is continuing. We even did the double over Clough's old team Burton Albion in the last two months! For those who are interested, our strongest 11 looks like this; Our 3 central midfielders have definitely been the stars, and it's...

Another couple of months... After another two months in charge, our results look like this; Our form has started to dip lately, meaning we have dropped from first in the table and now find ourselves behind surprising leaders, Gateshead. Also, as you can see, we went on a rather short...

No idea hahah! The pair of them were listed but I had to untick 'filter out unrealistic targets', thought it was worth a shot seeing as though my midfield was week and i'm playing a 4-3-3 narrow and here they are hahah! And I like him as a manager! Wish he'd done better at Derby though, just...

First Month and Transfer Window So we've reached September and the transfer window has slammed shut. Here are the deals we made; Not much money to spend, that's why we've gone for frees and loans. The acquisitions of Gary Gardner and Ryan Tunnicliffe on loan should prove to be great...

The Number Two It would appear the Nigel Clough already had somewhat of his own Peter Taylor! Gary Crosby had followed him from Burton, to Derby, and was sacked with him at Sheffield United. They are together once more as we have signed him up.

As if by magic.. It was inevitable... Our challenge as Nigel begins the same way that Brian's did; with Hartlepool United. Hartlepool finished 15th in what was somewhat of a mediocre first season. Hopefully we will improve on that next season.

The Plan Okay, so this story is based around the challenge created by emjay14 a few years back now. The challenge is called 'The Brian Clough Challenge'. I have slightly edited the challenge and come up with my own goals for this story. Feel free to take on the challenge, or my adaptation, and...

Sheffield United are looking for a new coach after agreeing to part ways with Nigel Clough following the team’s League 1 play-off defeat to Swindon Town. Clough had guided The Blades to a 5th place finish in the English third tier, but his failure to gain promotion to the Championship has...
