He had Preston 2nd last year before he had injuries to his 3 strikers

How many hard nut managers are there about these days?

Depends what we mean by hard nut. There are lots of Managers who command respect because they're tough cookies. Fergie, Big Sam - they don't have to be Vinny Jones.

They're also old school. Young guys who try similar don't seem to command the same respect and their similar actions are viewed differently. The reputation precedes the man.

We had a manager who bollocked the players and eventually they had enough and stopped playing for him, his name was Aidy Boothroyd

Our players have to be some of the most weak minded individuals on this planet

but I get the sense with Brown that he'd try to get some kind of momentum going in the press in the hope it would aid his application.

Judging by the reaction I would say that has backfired

I distinctly remember the Radio 5 Live show not long after he left PNE when he was a guest in the studio. He spoke about the situation there, how he had turned the corner but desperately needed a couple of players on loan due to an injury crisis, but how the boards total lack of understanding of football meant that they wouldn't comply with his wishes. It reminded me of the weekly interviews Boothroyd used to give where he told us that he'd been guaranteed loan signings, and when asked when, he just said "soon". Then we loaned out Thomas....

So, in a nutshell, he'd love SISU, wouldn't he?

I know nothing about him. I'm not about to filter through his wiki and state meaningless stats or percentages.

I have read this thread front to back. Mixed messages across the board. Some fume that he hasn't 'done' anything, and in the same breath want someone who is on the way up, not down. Surely if you've 'done' something, we are not the next natural progression.

I personally don't care about attractive football. If we win, be it ugly, ill be happy. Football aside, we need a man manager, who can get the the best out of what I believe, a promotable team. They need to instill some belief. Wins will bring the fans, passy passy passy goal kicks will not.

As someone said, it doesn't matter where the manager came from, its where they take us that counts. And how we get there, I don't care.

Some good points, but passing football doesn't mean losing football! And I don't just mean Barcelona and Spain, who have the best players. Swansea massively over-achieve with the players they have whilst playing the most attractive football in the country, so it isn't always about having quality by any means.

As a rule the direct game is designed to reduce the gap in quality between sides, relying on physical and mental attributes to bridge the gap, but if we have one of the best sides in the division technically, doesn't it make more sense-and success more likely-for us to try and pass our way out of the division?

WHAT DO YOU THINK?

If we hire that clown then this club has finall given up. What is the point anymore. This club is on its last legs and Phil brown will be the final nail in the coffin, a joke of a man and a joke of a manager...

I hope we do sign Brown, think he has the qualities to take us back to the Championship.

I agree, we need someone with experience, and he has experience at the highest level.. albeit for a season or 2

Not sure what people have against Brown. They do realise it's Phil, not Gordon, right?!

But that's like saying you'd rather have Pol Pot than Stalin.

Just offer him a promotion bonus of a gallon of P10 and watch us fly.
