Clough expects to remain as Sheff Utd boss

Sheffield United boss Nigel Clough says he does not think his position is under threat after their League One play-off exit. He told BBC Radio Sheffield: "I don't give my future a second thought. If it [being sacked] happens, it happens.

"I think we've made progress this season. We've gone from seventh to fifth, we've reached another semi-final and brought through young players."

He added: "Ultimately we haven't achieved our aim of getting promotion, if that progress is enough that is for other people to judge.

"Our co-chairman Jim Phipps came into the dressing room after the game and said how proud he was and rightly so."
