A Bit of Fun Phil Brown and SUFC

[Jam_Man]

I don't think either of those statements are particularly true. Newport's owner has money but I don't think they've spent a huge amount and have finished higher in the league than a number of teams with significantly higher budgets (Luton, Wrexham, Grimsby).

Also, let's not re-write history. Tilly walks on water as far as I'm concerned but he was backed financially in both promotion years and certainly in League One he absolutely spent money to get us promoted. Efe Sodje, JCR, Shaun Goater, Luke Guttridge, Lee Bradbury... none of these players came to Roots Hall for the atmosphere. We punched above our weight that season with a decent squad which was probably fractionally above what we should have been spending. Pretty similar to what Newport have done this season.

Yes we had players who came to us but wasnt Bradbury/Sodje the year after and JCR only on loan though and ended up at Col U until we signed for the CCC year ?, but we didnt pay any transfer fees and I wouldnt say we had in anyway bought our way to promotion. We still had the majority of the League Two side playing for us.

I dont know a lot about Newport situation other than they have a wealthy owner. Certainly not heard of Crawley type goings on there so maybe Endinburgh isnt getting enough credit there.

We didn't buy our way to promotion and I don't think that anyone said that we did. But Tilly had the budget to assemble a squad who not only competed at that level but turned out to be the best team at that level.

Seriously, if Phil Brown goes who gives a monkey's. Let him do what he wants. Let' s see him try and deny this rumour though... If Brown goes lets bring Tilly in. Don't let bravado get in the way RM!

I was with you until then. Tilly isn't the answer.

It is to the question what is the name of Alison Moyet's dog though.

Phil Brown - If this were true and he did the do the offs. So what. He would be hated but lets not lose sleep over it. Not exactly a club legend.

As for the Tilly thing I was just pointing out that if PB decided to sh*t on us that much that I'm not sure it would matter too much who the next manager to come in would be!

He can do what he wants if he stays but if he goes I will fast be over it.

He won't get the job anyway.

20 pages of outrage,hate and disbelief towards our new manager. And all based on...' A very reliable source that only I can speak to' . Wow how powerful you must feel now. Imagine how good you would feel if this came true.

I heartily agree, what shocking posts on this subject we have endured. All in the name of rumour. Makes me ashamed to be honest. COYBB

Totally agree although I have no problem with the OP bringing the rumour to the Zone as that is what it is all about.
The main problem is with the spite and bile that a section of Zoners who cannot articulate themselves, produce
Anyway PB is off to a club in the North West I have been reliably informed by a friendly Brown Rat.

I've just seen Brown getting some tattoo's done.
One said 'I love Ron' , although he was ranting at the owner that he had clearly said 'I love Mum' - damn these Northern accents.
The other was a swan....... make of that what you will.

I saw Phil on the roof of the spread wearing nothing but a winning smile whilst screaming "we are going up".

I am really glad you realise my power. It's what you get when people tell you information and you know something many others don't.

Actually owning the Zone makes me feel good.
