CLOUGH DROPS FOREST HINT (17/02/06)

Manager Nigel Clough appears to be interested in filling the vacant post at Nottingham Forest after he failed to rule himself out of job. Nigel is usually quick to rebuff suggestions of a move away from Burton, with recent suggestions of taking the Walsall job quickly laughed off. However when questioned about his interest in taking over the City Ground hot seat, Clough was quoted as saying "you can never rule anything out"

Nigel Clough's profile as a promising young manager will not have been done any harm after the FA Cup performances against Manchester United, and Forest fans will not need any convincing about how successful a Clough can be.

TODD ON TARGET FOR STANLEY (17/02/06)

Andy Todd, currently on loan at Accrington Stanley, scored the opening goal as the Reds won 3-1 away at Gravesend & Northfleet this evening.

Accrington are now 14 points clear at the top of the Nationwide Conference.

SHOTS v BREWERS PREVIEW (17/02/06)

The Brewers look to continue their climb up the table with a tricky away trip to the Recreation Ground to meet bogey side Aldershot Town. All five Conference meetings against the Shots have ended in defeat, but with Aldershot currently languishing in 15th place in the table, this could be a good time to break the losing streak.

OLD BIG 'EAD IS BACK (09/02/06)

'Old Big ‘Ead in The Spirit of the Man' is a hilarious new comedy that follows Brian Clough beyond the Final Whistle and into extra time. Not one to take death lying down, Old Big ‘Ead jumps at the chance of returning to this earthly realm to dispense his own special brand of inspiration.
A love of the spotlight, an ego the size of a stadium; perhaps Cloughie always belonged on the stage. Even after a transfer to the Other Side it's impossible to keep a good manager down.
In the afterlife of Brian he is keen to prove that he is not just the greatest manager England never had but one of its greatest comedians too.
