Hardly a hoofball merchant who hasn't achieved much for the best part of 10 years though

My point is age not style

They are directly linked though. MM's age is being pointed out because his style is old school and implies he isn't going to change his methods. No-one would complain if Bielsa was appointed

Of course everyone looks old when you're a kid but Shankley and Paisley always looked like proper old men.
Clough retiring at 58 is also a surprise.
The booze took its toll mind.
People looked much older back then. I can remember my grandparents in their 50s. Wrinkled, grey, out of shape, false teeth, the lot.

They were just terrible lizards back then.

Right, because Carlo Ancellotti and Mick McCarthy have comparable records.

Incredible manager
Many cast offs and free signings and big money when needed
Archie Gemmil
Larry Lloyd
Kenny Burns
Tony Woodcock
Birtles
Trevor Francis .....most expensive signing at the time
Tremendous side
Real shame to see him slip into alcohol addiction
You could see it in his face in interviews
Football legend
John Robertson
In Cloughs words................
"When you get the ball, just give it to the fat lad on the left,” he smiled.
The fat lad. The chain-smoking scruffy git.
What a player and what a manager, Genius
