A Bit of Fun Phil Brown and SUFC

[McNasty]

We all want Southend to succeed with or without Mr Brown, so it is a case of wait and see.

If he stays and we do well then he will be the best thing since sliced bread. Anything else will be grief.

 

[Sandbach Shrimper]

Phil Brown was on last nights North West version of Late Kick Off. He was joined by Kevin Davies and when the presenter was asking Davies where he wants to be next season Brown said Southend's a great place. Phil Brown seems to be doing a lot of media work recently up north. IIRC Brown has only managed up north and played up north, maybe he cant settle down south and with Sheffield being a northern team????????????????????????????

Would love Kevin Davies to be with us next season! Imagine him and BBBC up front... :punch:

Let's hope it's true eh ?!?

 

[Tampa Blue]

So unbelievable that it must be true. But surely there must be better applicants out there - Sheffield Utd really is a proverbial sleeping giant.

Just told a Sheffield united supporting mate in Sheffield he is not to pleased he don't want him there

Well there's no saying this is true is there. However before getting the SUFC job, Phil Brown was amusing us all by sitting on the Sky Sports sofa and blatantly looking for this job, that job, ANY job. Let's not delude ourselves that he has any particular affiliation with SUFC or that he's ever going to.
It re-raises the issue of why he was appointed. I've been ticked off by many zoners for not giving the new manager a chance, and to be fair they are right - we should always get behind a new player or manager. However there was something very wrong about this particular appointment right from the start. The sacking of PS was in my view bad enough. But the appointment of PB wasn't and isn't a good fit either. There were many other candidates - Coughlan, Harris, Barker, Devonshire, Edinburgh - and that's without really thinking.
And of course Sheffield United don't want him. He's one of those managers that fans don't want as he's all glitz and no substance. It's like when your team appoints Howard Wilkinson or Glenn Roeder. You're not hopeful.

 

[Ayrshire Blue]

Brown is only ever going to use us as a stepping stone. I won't be surprised at all if this is true.

 

[Dick Bate's Protege]

Someone should warn Sheffield Utd, the Real Madrid job becomes vacant in a few weeks.

 

[TrueBlue]

Nothing surprises me with this club it may be just bull **** but then again this is Southend we are talking about here

 

[Clinton Baptiste]

If true confirmation of the guys ego. Applied for every job going couldn't even get the Partick thistle job. The only idiot to take pity on him was Ron Martin. One win as a Southend manager, a failure everywhere bar a good 18 months with Hull. Spends so much time on tv and radio surprised he didn't apply to be director general of the bbc. In my opinion a great excuse to get rid!

Yeah , the sheer pace of our attack would be frightening.............................

 

[dingleydangley]

There is nothing to stop me, you, PB or anyone else applying. How much further our applications would get is anyone's guess.

Glad to hear it. My application will be in tomorrow. May I suggest that we all apply. I haven't been in management for a couple of years, either, and I see Sheffield United merely as a stepping stone on the way to greater things. That won't stop me doing a decent job while I'm there but they can't reasonably expect me to ignore any other jobs that come up.

To be fair if this is true then the fault lies with Brown and not the club. If he is even thinking about other clubs after we just gave him a chance after a year out then its a disgrace.

No, if you are advocating them then there clearly wasnt a lot of thinking!

Edinburgh is the only one worthy of consideration there.

I can understand why he might want to get away from comments like this.

He was OUT OF WORK!!! He did some punditry to pay bills and keep his name in the frame. Did YOU have any affiliation to the company you work for - before they employed you? Of course not.

Absolute nonsense!

IF PB is looking for another job already - he is letting us down and he can go with my blessing. It is currently a rumour on this site.
However, do not lambast a guy who was out of work...for doing some part time work and touting for another job. He would be a bloody imbecile if he hadn't!!!!!!!

 

[Bernie Friend]

I heard this a few week's ago... bloke's a tool!

 

[DTS]

If this is true then personally think he should walk or be made to walk if we can do so without cost ourselves. Complete lack of respect for the club, players and the fans.

Agreed. If, IF this is true, the guy who has hardly endeared himself to the club's fans should be moved on as soon as possible. I hear there's a pretty decent Scottish bloke who wears a kilt who is available :whistling:

 

[GodblessArthurRowley]

A club that is a combination of Billy Smarts and Chipperfields, you really could not make it up.
