Re: Phil Brown There's an interesting (if maybe biased) thread of tweets from @ScottWallace_ going through Phil Brown's 5 years at Southend. Hardly glowing references to say he was there for 5 years. https://mobile.twitter.com/ScottWallace_/status/953674460866990080?p=vThis the initial tweet, then read all the following tweets below it from the same poster. |

The fact that he signed Nile Ranger and recently assembled the oldest squad in League 1 rings alarm bells with me.
Mind you, if he likes an older player then there's a reason why he'd be attracted to GTFC at the moment!
I appreciate his pedigree - and I appreciate that whole thread of tweets was biased - but I really don't think he's the answer to our problems.
Seems a colourful character (not just referring to his tan) and after the board's recent experience with Marcus Bignot (and formerly Mike Newell, who was also a loose cannon) I don't think it'd work.
The board would want to work with a more 'amenable' person - maybe someone they feel they can 'control' (rightly or wrongly).
I get the impression Robbie Stockdale is a very focused and sensible professional who would value a player's character as much as their ability, simply because that's a big part of managing young players.
Hurst proved that being a good person in a settled team is worth a lot when building squads.
I don't see us becoming any more settled under Brown. We need new ideas, and while this might not be the time to gamble on an untried manager, I think giving the job to Brown now when there'll be better options out there in the summer will be a mistake.
Just my opinion, of course. I know he did plenty that was good at Southend and took Hull into the Prem.

FFS lets wait until the end of the season
It is tighter than ever before at the top of the Conference (if we are going down there for a new man rather than some experienced many times sacked chap)
There are going to be five or six extremely good managers in the Conference who will miss out and may possibly want to step up via a vacancy having missed promotion
Please John wait and see who is available and don't go for some geezer who has dropped some not very veiled hints on Humberside

Phil Brown has said he wants it. Pretty good record and spent 5 years in his last job which is not too shabby. Managed at every league level. Interesting bloke.
I bet all the tanning shops in town are praying it is him 😉 |

I'd much prefer Stockdale myself. Although I wouldn't be distraught if it was Brown. Whoever it is will have to work with the current board, so we are probably copulated either way. |
