I’ve never really liked brown and I think he’s still living off of one or two ? good seasons at hull.
Comes across as a bit of a chancer if I was a proffesional player I wouldn’t want to sign for him from what I’ve seen and read of him.

At no point does he say that Rovers were fantastic and unplayable because they’ve got some very good players and they were all on form. Who cares what that prick thinks? Straight back on the sunbed today, it will give him time to reflect on a 3 - 0 battering while he tops up his tan and dyes his hair. Arrogant tango man! |

I will never understand the hate for Phil Brown. Dean Windass = legend, Phil Brown = Prick? Makes no sense!

It all makes perfect sense expressed in dollers and cents pounds shillings and pence can't you see it all makes perfect sense.

People on here were raving at the signings he made, Anton Ferdinand, Michael Turner, Michael Kightly, Nile Ranger etc and saying these are players DC should of been looking at. I said DC shouldn't touch them with a barge pole. They're proving me right at the minute. I absolutely agree that Phil Brown is a chancer and its not the first time that players have seemingly turned against him. Remember the time he humiliated his players in the middle of the pitch during half time a few years back? |

Yep, we’ve seen it before, and I’m sure DC thinks it’s harder to get a gutsy performance out of overpaid journeymen than our “honest bunch”. Whilst we could do with a bit more experience, we don’t need what Brown had assembled. Connections can get people though the door but it’s what you do once they are in that matters more |

Connections can get people though the door but it’s what you do once they are in that matters more PT's spell showed that doing too much too quickly can ruin what once made the team successful. The players who went to Southend, Bury this summer are never going to give their all for the club, even if they wanted to. One or two who have been successful at this level would be good, just like Mansell was in the Conference for example. Can't happen at the expense of our core though. |

Ive seen a post match interview where phil brown did actually say some really nice stuff about rovers.
He read out a list of all the things rovers did in the match that he so wanted his team to do.

Brown is alright, bumped into him down the Bristol Fryer pre-match whilst he was on a scouting mission last season funnily enough!
Does have the look of a used car salesman though.

I had a special person under my blanket today. I can say no more. Byron Moore - to ensure that he didn't get on the pitch? |

I’m surprised I don’t hear more managers say it really. Footballers are human beings after all not just left backs, strikers etc. We’re in such good hands , the day he leaves will be one of the saddest days in my Rovers life. |

Phil browns personality and style isnt everyones cup of tea but his record as southend manager is excellent imo.

He's only played 3 full seasons (by which I class as 30+ games) and he's 31 years old. I think that's why he's playing at our level. Southend were the only ones who would offer him security, a 3 year deal no less. |

Whys he in League 1 then? Far better players than him in League 1, Bodin and Otzhumer for example. There's a reason why he's dropped to League 1 in supposedly his prime. |

Connections can get people though the door but it’s what you do once they are in that matters more I was shocked how weak Turner was against Ellis or maybe Ellis was just too strong !? There was a video clip that came out when the latest FIFA game was due out where Locks and Ellis were predicting the skills ratings for each other and at one point TL ribbed Ellis about being outmuscled by a defender. Ellis fought his corner and Tom admitted that in L1 there were very few who could do that to him now! The game against Pompey was a good yardstick as he bossed two experienced pros there (made Burgess , who I've always rated, look distinctly ordinary and pedestrian). Southend and Fulham were two more of his better performances but in truth he's been the best version of Ellis we've seen for most of this campaign as he's added consistency to his other talents. Watching the end of the matchday moments video today I was also reminded as to what a genuinely nice bloke and fun loving individual he is. Clearly he's one of the welcoming "heartbeats" of our dressing room too. He's definitely attracting the attention of the scouts now ...l think we'd feel the loss of him on a lot of different levels if that interest was to firm up into an offer we couldn't refuse for the good of the player. |
