Never been a huge Brown fan but feel sorry for him here, he certainly didn't deserve that in the heat of battle.
The table says otherwise.
So we should have sacked Allardyce at this stage in our second season then? He got a team of shite promoted, and kept a team of shite up. He's not set the world alight, but he's done allright there!

He's done as well as can be expected on the pitch. But we - from the outside looking in - don't know the full story. The Tigers' fans aren't keen and there's whispers (as there have been for some time) of dressing room unrest, in-fighting and his duffing of Duffens daughter.

Or maybe it's a case of success breeds over-expectancy

More than possible it's off the pitch stuff, my point was merely to point out that HP's assertation that 'the table says otherwise' was bollocks.

Indeed, but what else do you expect?

It looks more and more likely to be "off the pitch" events. Possibly in relation to the case against Duffen I suppose.

Maybe they have no grounds for dismissal, yet

If theyre getting served with legal papers to prevent him talking to that 19 year old, something serious may have happened

Allegations of bullying?

That'd make sense. I think his number was up the day they changed chairman meself, sounds like a case of giving enough rope to hang with

But wasn't Pearson the bloke who hired him for Hull in the first place?

Rumours in Hull of Brown having affair/s with members of the back office in the club!

I can't understand why there seems to be some ill feeling on this board against Browny.

He gave us sterling service as a player, captain, assistant and caretaker manager.

He takes a pub team to the Premier League and survives in his first season against the odds, is still in the mix for a late escape this season, and have just been beaten by an injury time winner by Arsenal. Then he is sacked.

Maybe there was something going on behind the scenes, but to me Phil Brown will always be a Wanderers legend.

Spot on there....he says in this interview the highlight of his career was going up the Wembley steps when he played for Bolton Wanderers..

No-one can deny he is a man of great character, i for one, hope he bounces back.

This seems terribly bad timing. It would be difficult for any manager to make a difference in 9 games, never mind an emergency appointment managing a squad that is inferior to most Prem teams, even when at its best, and one that is playing under relegation pressure.

Personally I would have sacked Brown for singing on the pitch at the end of last season, but now it has got to this stage it must be pretty desperate to get rid of him now.

Megson is favourite to succeed him by the way.

The worst right back we've ever had, and I even include Peter Nicholson in that!

It is going to be Megson.

I like Browny. He improved immeasurably under Rioch, when he and Lee formed a good partnership down that right side. As Sams assistant, we had some of the best years we've had in, well, years. And he clearly really loves the club.

Lets put it this way, he's waaaaay higher up the christmas card list than the ginger assassin.'

You must be too young to have seen Charlie Cooper then.
