Actually, there are many similarities in how they trust and respect their players, inspire individuals to become a team greater than the sum of its parts, how they keep it simple, and are true to their vision of how to play the game. CW is also not afraid to stand fore square behind what he believes in, and is happy to say it how it is without having to try and cover it over for political advantage.
I rank Clough No.1 of all managers in my lifetime, hence I repeat (here it comes again...ready...?) CW is not the new Cloughie. However I can see some similarities in their approach and values.
