I'm gonna give you some good advice, Brian Clough.

No matter how good you think you are or clever, how many fancy new friends you make on the telly, the reality of footballing life is this:
The chairman is the boss, then comes the directors, then the secretary, then the fans, then the players, and then finally the last of all, bottom of the heap, the lowest of the low, comes the one who in the end, we can all do without the Fuckin manager.

(Sam Longson to Brian Clough, The Damned United)
