Phil Brown

I think he already held an unwanted record of being in charge of a club that was relegated from the top 4 divisions. This latest relegation makes him even more unique.

Incorrect.

Phil Brown has managed in the top 5 divisions of English football, he hasn’t been relegated from the top four, now 5.

Phil Brown was placed on gardening leave at Hull, and Ian Dowie was in charge when they got relegated from the top flight for starters.
 
Is Brown the first manager to take charge of teams in each of the top 6 divisions in English Football?
 
FORMER Southend United boss Phil Brown has signed a two year contract to stay in charge of Kidderminster Harriers.

Brown was appointed in January and narrowly failed to keep the Harriers in the National League.
But director of football Dean Holdsworth is pleased Brown has agreed to stay on as the club bid to bounce back.
He told the club's website: "Relegation hurt us all, we must turn that hurt into determination to bounce back.
"The arrival of Phil Brown gave the players, supporters and the whole club a new sense of belief, and the re-signing of Phil indicates the chairman’s ambition to return to the National League as soon as possible.
“Although we didn’t reach our goal of staying up, to take that fight into the final weeks of the season given the position we were in is remarkable, as is the drive and passion, Phil, the backroom staff and the players have shown.

“We’re delighted to secure their services for another two seasons.

"We look forward to pressing the ‘reset’ button; plenty of hard work is already going on to ensure we are in the best possible shape to compete next season.”
 
Brave call from Kidderminster.
Bit easier when you think the Director of Football is a good mate of Phil’s.

Plus to be fair they did have that bounce when he came in, but only 1 win since February, and that came against already-champions Chesterfield who turned up hungover from their party.
