    Looks like Norwich are going to appoint ex Rangers manager Philippe Clement 
    A bit of a "who's available " type of appointment, rather than an obvious step up.

    Very random job to take, considering they have no money and a very weak squad.

    Flip of that is there’s low expectations and if it goes wrong then he won’t be to blame. He can learn on the job

    The egos of so many top players prevent them from taking a job below what they believe is akin to their status in the game. They are happy to accept one that is in the top two tiers, fail due to inexperience and then struggle to get another job. 

    Nigel Clough has never done that and that is the reason for his longevity in the game. Being a family man (and probably as a result of seeing Brian and his issues) he's always been close to home and although flirting with the higher reaches at Derby and Sheffield United he has never risked what he considers to be a content life. You don't manage just four clubs in 27 years, for 1,340 games in total, without doing something right especially at clubs like Burton and Mansfield with their lack of money. 

    A better example, perhaps, of someone who started at the bottom and who did progress to the top, is Martin O'Neill. He started at Grantham Town and then Shepshed Charterhouse followed by seven years at Wycombe. He didn't do too badly either following that grounding.

    They were awful last season too. Seems to be a Carlisle situation

    The EFL without Bristol Rovers in it would be unbelievable. They really are part of the furniture.
