Don Revie says that Johhny Giles should have taken over the job instead of Clough because Giles "knew the players, knew the system, knew everything about Leeds" - but is that enough to make someone a good, winning manager? And why should Revie's successor carry on exactly the way Revie did things? This sounds more like Revie (understandably) keen to safeguard his legacy.

@sternumagnum - It's called continuity - It happened at Liverpool with Paisley after Shanks left,and you saw their benefit -In 1974 Leeds were a bigger European name and more feared than Liverpool were - The Backroom Staff & Boot Room was in place and had been established over the years,it just needed continuity - With the pedigree of players at that time at Leeds,no top class British player in "74 would have dreamed of turning them down (including the likes of Dalglish & Souness)

@steakandsid paisley was already assistant so doesnt compare. Giles was simply a player

[steakandsid]

@TeamOfThe80s So What was Dalglish then before he took over Liverpool and continued their run of success ?

This video is a good lesson of how to be candid and consistent on any debate. Thank you Brian.

Clough had the last laugh..........Revie's career ended in disgrace, Brian won back to back European Cups

Everyone remembers Clough.....its mostly just Leeds Utd fans who remember Revie

the damned united

Cloughie was duped into this interview by the programme.

Look at both managers careers after this 'interview'

The slime ball Revie v The mens manager...

These days we have

King Kenneth v Sir Alex F

Alan Pardew v Chris Hughton

Alex MCleish v Martin ONeill Riveting stuff!

The manager Leeds have now is hugely respected. S Grayson. Forest S Cotterill is making his mark very slowly and Derby's Cloughie junior is also coming into hid own now.

Were Brian Clough and Don Revie 1960-70's Pep Guardiola and José Mourinho? If so, who was the then Guardiola and who was "the Mourinho" in that context?

[B8rkley]

Both of them were great managers, but Clough was a league ahead of Revie. What i'd have given to see some of the teams he created and the football he played.

No dirty play, no arguing with the ref, just honest players playing some of the best football people had seen at the time. Don of course could also do that, but Dirty Leeds had that name for a reason.

Regardless of that, how often is it that you see such an amazing debate between huge characters in the game like this on tv? Fantastic.

I am a bradford city fan, and even I can see that cluogh lost the reigns at leeds.

@steakandsid Don't get me wrong - I'm all for continuity, I know and admire the boot room legacy of LFC. I'm saying that being part of a club, as Giles and Dalglish were, is necessary to carry on a legacy but not enough to make someone a good, winning manager! The cases whereby ex-plyers or asst coaches took up the mantle in a club and failed are much more numerous than the success stories. I'd love to have seen Giles try b/c that 70s Leeds team was a wonder and Cloughie was not right for it.
