I absolutely cannot wait for this one!




A shakespearean novel in tone and ambition, it did not disappoint - an exploration of the psyche of the self-righteous, egotistical, flawed yet brilliant Brian Clough. Not without insight into today's managers playing in the big money game of today's premiership.

just finished book.
Looking forward to the film. It'll be interesting to see how the style of the book translates to the screen.

I hope it captures the books feeling. Ive seen stills and it looks like its going to be good.
