]]> 3259 Stuart Pearce: Did Cloughie really like us? | Why Pulis kick helped me | Learning Italian for Capello - The Managers Ep2 This week on The Managers, Mick and Tony are joined by the one and only Stuart Pearce - former Manchester City, Nottingham Forest, and England U21s manager… and proud survivor of a Tony Pulis sympathy kick. Brought to you by BOYLE Sports. From getting the call from Brian Clough, to being picked for England and trying to make sense of Cloughie’s... let’s say "unique" tactics, Stuart takes us on a journey through the highs, lows, and head-scratchers of his career. We dive into his time as player-manager at Forest, where balancing tactics and team talks with still lacing up his boots proved trickier than it sounds - especially when the players you’re subbing off are your mates! There’s also life under Kevin Keegan at Man City, including unexpected boardroom invites, and a chat about why the FA probably should’ve hung on to Bobby Robson and Gareth Southgate a bit longer. Oh, and if you’ve ever wondered how to get over being sacked as a Premier League manager - Tony Pulis has a cure for that too. Learn more about your ad choices.
