Was Nigel Clough right to hammer his players in public?

Things must be quiet at Sunderland - we've started poking our noses into Derby's business. Must be the Clough connection, but this is a Mackem's take on the row over Nigel having a go at Tomasz Cywka (and others) after the draw against Pompey

It just made Clough look like an idiot....

 

I thought that it was a refreshing moment of honesty in a game which seems to have lost all sense of decency and integrity. Cloughie told it like it is. Just like his old man would have done!

 

Nigel couldn't hammer a nail let alone a team.
