Alf0nse-
I thought the point made was clear; when Clough got the biggest job of his career, he fucked it up and got the sack. To this point, there is a clear similarity with Truss.
However, after Leeds, Clough took Forest to the very top, showing that his time at Leeds was a temporary aberration. Truss is no Brian Clough, so do we expect her to return and lead the Tories to new heights? She genuinely believes that, we don't.

An odd article.
Brian Clough was an accomplished footballer whose career was ended by injury and the limits of sports medicine of his day.
He then proved with to be a successful manager before his move to Leeds, and even more successful after he left Leeds.
Liz Truss is a political nonentity, with no great legislation to her name, and no noticeable political achievements.
