Derby County veteran Robbie Savage says Nigel Clough is among the best managers he's worked for.

Savage, who has played for the likes of Sir Alex Ferguson and Steve Bruce, said: "I'm convinced Nigel is a manager who can aim for the very top and take this club with him.

"Apart from his obvious knowledge and experience, Nigel possesses qualities which set him apart - he's a man of morals.

"I've worked with some of the best bosses in the business. Nigel is up there with them, and that's not just me blowing smoke up his a**e!"
