1 day agoClough on quest to improve standard of refereeing
The 59-year-old has used the League Managers Association (LMA) to ask its members what they think about the performance of match officials. Clough has often spoken out about refereeing decisions after matches, and was most recently critical of a fourth official at Mansfield Town's Carabao Cup defeat at Everton for being "sarcastic" towards him. But the Stags boss insists his desire to talk about calls made during matches and his efforts to now start a conversation about standards is not targeted at match officials themselves.
