Brian Clough’s time as Manager of Derby County is the most successful period in the history of the club. But it all ended acrimoniously when he resigned in 1973. Told through the official board meeting minutes, this is the inside story.

Whilst all was fine on the field with the club's first league title and European competition, the relationship between the Manager and Directors deteriorated during the latter years to a point where they went their separate ways amidst a very public row.

For the first time, with exclusive, authorised access to the Board Meeting Minutes, we are able to reproduce many of these from the start of the 1970-71 season through to the early part of the 1973-74 season.

We learn about the European ban in 1970, the controversial signings of players and the numerous complaints made to the footballing authorities about the conduct and comments made by the Manager about other clubs.

Additional comments from the author provide background details to the events discussed in the Board Meetings and, together with several autobiographies forms an important addition to the history of the club.

Slyvia boot is a great looking pair of boots
Size: 8, Color: Black Leather
These are a great pair of boots that run true to size. Genuine leather as they do conform to fit. Hell height is perfect on these boots and are wearable 6 to 8 hours easily with no pain. I make sure to condition the leather on my boots before wearing and after every 2nd to 3rd wearing stuff the bootsto store them.

Buttery soft, comfortable and the perfect height!!!
Size: 10.5, Color: Black Leather, Size: 10.5, Color: Black Leather
I ripped these out of the box as soon as they arrived lol 😂 I knew they were the black knee high boots that I wanted to have as a staple in my Fall closet. They did not disappoint! The stitching is impeccable, they are buttery soft from top to bottom, they are the signature San Edelman design, the heel is perfect – it’s not clunky it’s sleek, but it’s not too high so you can wear these with pants and dresses and skirts. They are VERY COMFORTABLE!!! They are pointy - but I sized up a half so they are not squeezing my foot at all. I can move my toes around and there’s enough space for socks if I need to wear them. I am in ❤️!!!

These boots were made for walking…
Size: 9, Color: Chocolate Brown
Stylish black suede boots with an adorable chunky heel. The fit is true to size. They look elegant yet dangerous! They were also, surprisingly, very comfortable!

My favorite boots ever!
I searched forever to find the perfect camel boots and could not be happier with this purchase. So happy, in fact, that I bought another pair in a different color! They’re really soft and the perfect heel height to still be comfortable. They are so classy and definitely a staple for me for work. Love!

Not comfortable for long term wear. No cushioning .
