Phil Brown

Seems he is pretty keen on the job.

On the PB stats above, my understanding is that over 205 league games, he won 80 and drew 51, losing 74.

I make that roughly 1.42 points per match, so around 65 points per season, which isn't too shabby IMHO, based on resources and suchlike.

Phil’s chances of landing the Swindon job won’t have been harmed by Matty Taylor losing his first game as caretaker 0-3 at home to Cheltenham! :stunned: Local rivals too, they won’t be happy...

Decent return in fairness

I don’t know how accurate this is, but the comments section on the latest Swindon Advertiser article includes the following:

To be assisted by Brian Horton according to this -

good to see him back in the game, will look out for there results:smile:

Great news all round. I assume that means we no longer have to pay the rest of his contract here, he gets a club that I feel suits him well too. (If they can do well with Di Canio I’m sure Phil Brown will be fine)

He was good for us and I would like to see him do well elsewhere!

 

[Ricey]

Wonder if he will try and sign any of our players in the summer?

whats the betting that SCP has been on the phone to him already about Theo :winking:

glad PB is back in business! Good luck to him !

I wonder if he'll sign free agent Nile Ranger immediately....!

(Although saying that, Lee Power was the chairman when they sacked him for disciplinary problems, so maybe not!)

Former Blues boss Brown named new Swindon manager

FORMER Southend United Phil Brown manager has been named as Swindon Town’s new boss.

The surprise there is Horton as assistant. Horton wasn't rated here. It doesn't look good for Graham Coughlan.

 

[WESTY_SUFC]

I don't think Brown will get another job as a manager. His style is too old hat and boring.

You clearly know your stuff

Perhaps Coughlan is not a mason :winking: .

Presumably, if he doesn't get them in the playoffs, he doesn't retain the job. Got nothing to lose I guess.

A good job if he does keep it though. Quite a big club with a good history. Some may argue that it's a bigger and better job than managing Southend. Obviously not while they are in League 2 but if they do get promoted, a lot of managers would probably rather be at Swindon than us. They have better facilities and more money so a decent job to get. Will watch that closely.

I reckon Swindon players may get a bit of this. Who's that number 6 listening intently?

 

[Spenser]

Straight in there with the 'sleeping giant' comment I see !!

 

[RHB]

And why not? What's he got to lose.
