    Tony Mowbray (57) got Blackburn playing some nice football.

    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

    Dinosaurs weren't dinosaurs when they were still living.

    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.

    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
