SHEFFIELD UNITED UNVEIL CLOUGH

Sheffield United have appointed Nigel Clough as their new manager on an 18-month-deal,succeeding David Weir.

The Blades are 23rd in League One and with only seven points from a maximum 42,it was time for ex-Rangers defender Weir to leave.And Clough(who was sacked as Derby boss last month) admits he needs to work harder.

"I was tempted by the potential the club showed.Despite the situation and position the club are in,they had a talented youth side,"Clough told The Star.

Clough's father Brian notably managed Derby before his spell at Leeds.Nigel followed in his father's footsteps when he was appointed Derby manager in 2008.He spent five years in charge and up until his sacking, he was one of the country's longest serving bosses.

"Chris Morgan(United youth coach and caretaker manager) will always be a part of the club,so he will still work here at the club.I will get a new assistant and coach for the Sheffield United project."

Clough starts his tenure at home to Crewe this Saturday.
