Brian Clough and Peter Taylor what a duo and what a film..
Both actors played the parts really well
Two Actors here at the very top of their game.
My thoughts exactly, straight away too. Just class.
Yes absolutely agree.
Great acting top of there game.
Their game.
Peter Taylor indeed had a brilliant eye for a player but without him and without any money in the pot, Clough kept Forest up for another eleven years. Those years included three top-three league finishes (before 1993 they were never out of the top ten), two League Cup wins, an FA Cup final, and getting cheated out of a UEFA Cup final appearance (1984). Even if he had done nothing else previously, Clough would still be remembered as a top manager.
These two fell out again and never took the opportunity to reconcile due to Peter Taylor's sudden death.
Reading Cloughie's autobiography, he said that he was, more or less, inconsolable when he had heard the news of Taylor's passing. It saddens me when we see them reconcile at the end of this film, because for those who know, despite leading to better times, it ultimately led to heartbreak.
Taylor told clough not to go to Leeds, but he didn't listen, look at the stats, clough was never the finished article without Taylor, all of cloughs success was when Taylor was with him, FACT
Paul Little He did win some trophies and get top 3 league finishes plus a UEFA cup semi final without Taylor as well, so he was fantastic with a smaller team, BUT definitely worked best with Taylor.
AGREED. Clough on his own ok but together the best duo ever
paul.thats not the first time ive herd that
Paul Little Taylor was nothing without clough and Brian is nothing without peter
Taylor was just the coach. He was not the manager. He did not make decisions when it actually game to the games.
He trained the players that clough wanted. It is like trying to claim Ferguson would be nothing without Kidd, Mclaren or whatever other coach was present.
Coaches are important for a team to function but they are not the top dog that makes the final decisions only the manager does that.
People are just trying to elevate Taylor to devalue Clough.
Gotta give it to michael sheen. After watchin it for a bit you forget its not cloughie👌👌
agreed
This argument probably never happened but still great acting by Sheen and Spall.
The comment by Taylor about the goods in the back was also a real quote by Clough!
Such a good movie 10/10
I don't believe it happened like this. Clough was headstrong, but had massive respect for Taylor. The film thrived on sensationalism - interesting to watch, not consonant with reality.
Correct. Just like the book
This was the least believable part of the film for me. I love the film otherwise but for me this scene was tacky and unrepresentative but if the film was realistic it wouldn't work as a film.
I believe it!
Barry Morris Most of the film was bollocks tbh. All that unreturned handshake shit probably the most egregious and embarrassing example. Completely fabricated for the film that made it seem like the catalyst for the Revie and Clough feud.
Author watching too much Sopranos. They wouldn't act like that.
Success, ego, humility and relationships - bloody hell
I'm sure Brighton fans wonder.
League champions.
European champions.
Instead it was Forest
powerful acting by both brilliant actors
Just jumping in to make sure people are pointing out that a film based on true events isn't 100% historically accurate.
Exactly, like they did with Rush and the rivalry between Lauda and Hunt, movies require higher levels of drama to enthrall the audience.
Histories FUCKING AFTERTHOUGHT!
Peter was a man of honor. The real genius, the guy who made the place run.
That is just nonsense.
Clough was the one with the philosophy and management style that made the teams work on the field. Taylor was a sergeant major that got the officers regiment into shape.
@@bighands69 Both were geniuses in their own ways and in their own departments in their time. That's it RIP both
agreed but both together were fucking genius
Brighton are a bigger club than Leeds now. Funny.
No they're not. They might play in the division above, but Leeds are still far bigger
leeds are a joke mate - they were a big club
lol ur a joker look at the state of leeds about 4 people turn up... blues get more
Sam Vernon are you stupid ? Check the attendances pal. Leeds get more in the championship
Sam Vernon over 32 thousand were attending Leeds last season on a regular basis. That's bigger than Brighton's ground.
Taylor team that gained promotion twice with mullery
Brilliant
Peter Taylor should of gone to Leeds with Brian.
0:48 made me LOL so much. The south May be lovely but it’s a Tory cesspit
Taylor was right afterall
'nothing's parasite' lol
It's Michael Sheen not Martin
Thanks for that, no idea why I put Martin Sheen ha
Totally fictional clough did manage Brighton for a period before he came to us
have a day off
Bollocks to bloody Brighton!
Total fiction, but words of wisdom here was 'Yes but even if we won them, they would be Don's achievements'... best way to destroy your career and put yourself in a lose-lose situation is to step in a new job after a super successful predecessor and managing the same group of staffs who all still worship the previous boss and also who are on the decline
"But we hate Leeds" lol
AAAAAAaaaaaaaaabion.
fiction
A Bloody Nobody the forgotten man.
Ha
Ha Ha
I think sheens clough is terrible
Ha Ha
