The Damned United Page #2

From Don.

He quoted

some of the things you said.

" How unhappy the players were

under him."

"What bad Champions."

-Looking for the response.

-Bloody got one as well.

-He's gone berserk.

-He had it coming.

He shouldn't have done that piece

in the Mirror about me.

Saying he thought

I was a daft choice.

-Well, he's entitled to his opinions.

-I'm entitled to mine.

And I'm entitled to mine.

I hired you to do this job...

...because you're the best

young manager in this country.

Thank you. I'm the best old one too.

I also did it...

...under the assumption...

...that you would be coming here

wanting the best for this club.

For the city of Leeds.

So why do I get the feeling

this is all about you and Don?

Of course it's just about me and Don.

Always has been.

But instead of putting frowns

on your foreheads...

...you elders of Leeds in your blazers

and your brass-f***ing-buttons...

...it should put big white Colgate

smiles on your big white faces.

Because it means

I won't eat, and won't sleep...

...until I've taken whatever

that man's achieved, and beaten it.

Beaten it so I never have to hear

the name Don-f***ing-Revie again.

Beat it.

The only name anyone sings

in the Yorkshire ale houses...

...raising their stinking jars

to their stinking mouths...

...is Brian Clough.

Brian Clough uber-f***ing-alles.

Understand?

Number 25.

Manchester United--

Number 41.

--will play Tottenham Hotspur.

-Number 22.

-Come on, Pete.

-Derby County--

-Derby County, second division.

Here we go, that's us.

--will play...

-...number 6, Leeds United.

-Against the mighty....

-Leeds!

-Leeds!

Leeds! Good God!

Don Revie's Leeds!

-Don Revie's Leeds

-I don't believe it.

Top of Division 1 , here we come!

What do you say to that,

Mr. Chairman?

I can hear the cash registers now.

Happy days, sir! Happy days!

You've done well, Brian.

Take your family out for a meal.

Go to the Mumtaz.

Tell them it's on me.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman.

Put the fish and chips in the bin.

Tonight's on Uncle Sam.

We're going posh.

Chicken bhuna in town!

Come on, Simon. Get your gloves,

Simon. Get your coat on.

-Leeds United!

-Leeds!

Right, you two, I want Billy Bremner

and Johnny Giles...

...to be able to read that.

Come on.

And this door has gotta be fit

for Donald Revie to walk through.

Well, chop-chop.

There you are. Right, ladies.

Spick-and-span, remember.

Wash these walls down.

Give the floors a proper polish.

I'll be back! Come on, off you go!

I want it perfect.

Like a f***ing carpet.

We've got proper footballers

coming...

...who know how to keep the ball

on the deck.

Well, you can't f***ing train

on it then.
