"Well, I might as well tell you now. You lot may all be internationals and have won all the domestic honours there are to win under Don Revie. But as far as I'm concerned, the first thing you can do for me is to chuck all your medals and all your caps and all your pots and all your pans into the biggest fucking dustbin you can find, because you've never won any of them fairly. You've done it all by bloody cheating."
The story of the stupidest appointment in football management ever. Leeds United were at the top of their game, when manager Don Revie (Colm Meaney) is offered and takes the England post. Cue the board having a brain embolism and appointing the one man who hates everything that Leeds has done, Brian Clough (Michael Sheen). Cloughie sets out to mold the players and club into a side he would be proud to manage, using the worst man management the world will ever see. 44 days later he was looking for another job.
A fictional account of a real event. This updates the dark and brooding book, into something more akin to a comedy, whilst never loosing sight of the drama that is central to the story.
