' Nigel Clough '

CLOUGH TO BURTON?

Nigel Clough has agreed in principle to return to Burton Albion as the club's manager, according to Sky sources.

Clough oversaw Burton's rise from the Northern Premier League to the top of the Conference in his decade at the club, before leaving for Derby County in 2009.

Discussions are now focussing on Clough's backroom staff, but sources are optimistic a deal can be struck, and that he will be in charge for next weekend's game at Gillingham.

That would be sensible for Burton.
