Nigel Clough, having managed Blue Square Premier League leaders Burton Albion with distinction for 10 years, follows in his father's footsteps by becoming the Rams' new manager.
If Nigel is a quarter as successful as his dad Brian then Derby are in for great things, similarities are already beginning. At the age of 42, this is the best time for Nigel to find out whether managing a big club is for him. His father often used to say to me that he didn't know whether Nigel had the burning ambition to be a full-time football manager but there is more than one way to skin a cat.
Brian came into Football League management at the age of 30; Nigel came into management only two years older at the age of 32. But Nigel has chosen to do it his way; in a low-key fashion, learning his trade while at the same time having a sane, balanced family life and continuing being a devoted family man - who is to say he has got it wrong?
Come on you Rams!!!!!!!
