O'Neill Following Clough's Mentality - On Holidays, Anyway!

Martin O'Neill is a strong advocate of the winter break.

During his own playing days at Nottingham Forest, manager Brian Clough regularly took the team abroad for a break.

Martin O’Neill: “Because modern-day footballers earn a lot of money, certainly in the Premier League, there’s maybe an anti-feeling towards it all.

“But Brian Clough, who was a reasonably sensational manager, had us away at every single opportunity."
