Clough tribute Hart-felt
Paul Hart will send a glance to the heavens in tribute to the late Brian Clough now he is sure Portsmouth's residency in the Premier League.
Newcastle's 1-0 defeat at Fulham means Portsmouth cannot be relegated regardless of their results in their remaining two matches.
Pompey's interim first-team boss learned his managerial trade under Clough who bought him for Nottingham Forest 26 years ago from Leeds.
Hart took over as Forest manager in 2001, succeeding David Platt, eight years after Clough called it a day and went on to manage Barnsley and Rushden and Diamonds having entered the coaching ranks at Chesterfield.
He said: "A lot of my way of doing the job is down to how Brian used to look at things. He kept it simple. He said if you could kick it, head it and keep clean sheets everything else was a bonus. He said don't argue with referees, don't roll over, say yes please and no thank you. Nothing complicated. That's how I've tried to put over to the players here.
"I don't know if Cloughie will be looking down when we play Sunderland on Monday. Remember he was a legend as a player at Sunderland even though injury finished him at 28 and I'm not sure whether his loyalties would be with me or them - probably split."
