IF ONLY... The game in May 72 v Wolves had been played two days later. We would have won the double, and Clough would not have won the league with Derby. Would have changed a lot of things.
Clough's skill was moulding teams out of unknown players. He patently could not handle established star players, as was proven in those 44 fatal days. He'd have been equally useless as England manager.
