I think they had hoped it was our manager.

Props to him for doing that tbh, he probably has a wife and kids to look after and provide for too. Can see this becoming a more common thing as clubs realise that they have to make difficult decisions to ensure survival.

Fair play to him. His financial position obviously enables him to make such a gesture but he did not have to, he has clearly decided that in his position it is the right thing to do, there are plenty who decide otherwise.

If they survive, they're going to need a manager. Surely he'd be better taking a pay cut than leaving them without a manager?

They've got rid of the manager off the books and replaced him with one of their higher earners. Presumably they've dropped his wages to offer him the opportunity so it replaces two big wages with one that is considerably less. A smart bit of business I think.

Outstanding from Clough and shows the measure of the man. I personally think he's one of the most underrated managers in the lower leagues. In his first spell at Burton he took Burton up from the seventh tier to the brink of promotion to League Two. In his second spell helped to get them promoted to the Championship and then kept them there the following season. Last couple of seasons in League One had them comfortably finishing mid table on a limited budget and also incredibly got them to the Semi Final of the League Cup. Took over Sheffield United in the relegation zone and got them into the League One playoffs and to the FA Cup and League Cup semi-finals and at the same time dramatically cut their wage bill. Also one of the few lower league managers to have a song dedicated to him.
