Deep-lying playmaker ⭐
You mean a small minority on an internet forum?
Possibly, but I doubt it. You don't have to be on the internet to see the performances or results.

He has never said anything different, publicly or privately. Most of the 'outraged' like spoons for example would have always wanted him out anyway. Agreed some others have been swept along with the zone and twitter rumours but that's always going to happen in the modern social media world.
Leicester have been successful for a number of reasons, but mostly because they play no nonsense football, work hard, defend in numbers, pressurize the opposition on the ball and break quickly, which is a perfect foil against showboating sides who try to pass the ball into the net and defend like they would rather be somewhere else.
Most of the above applies to a PB side, when it's on top of it's game.
We are a good side when we do the above and some of our performances this season have been excellent. It's not much that needs tweaking. Just a settled system and keeping the intensity up in all games and not just some of them.
That's all Leicester have done.
Sizeable proportion?? Really?? Who are all these people? How many?? I must admit I haven't gone through the thread and counted, but critics that repeatedly post still only get one vote. I would guess the number in the Brown out brigade is not overly significant, and given how many supporters there are at clubs up and down the country who routinely want their manager gone, I would say PB is probably one of the better supported managers by the clubs fans.
The number of people who actually post on here does not represent a sizeable number of the Blues supporters, and of those that post or read SZ I would suspect the significant majority will be happy he is staying. Those that don't want him here should in my view be careful what they wish for. We are not a big club and don't offer a huge salary- so on the manager front in my opinion we are punching above our weight..
Ron M has been steadfast and ensured contractual arrangements that mean that PB is here for the long term (barring interest at the highest level). Ron may have many faults but how many managers has he got through? If you want job security I would wager he would statistically be amongst the top 5 chairman to work for across all 4 divisions!! He wants long term planning and believes he has got the right man. PB can have no doubt about the chairmans desire to keep him on board. And with this put to bed I am looking forward to onward and upwards.
I guess if we wanted to we could run a poll.

Essentially so; but LCFC have hit gold with Vardy and a couple of others.
I would go as far as to say, based on this Div1, that I have seen this season; that if we had a striker of the Fred or Stan ilk level then we could have made the automatics; it isn't a great league - nor is this years Prem.
When we have put in the work and we have been fit and balanced , as we were for a spell in the 1st few months (after an initial settling in period), then we have been a hard side to beat and dangerous given enough chances.

Good old shrimperzone, altering posts to suit agendas, misquoting to suit agenda.He has never said anything different, publicly or privately.

Nice to see Rattus wanting to write my posts, but a bit sad ultimately.Amended to reflect the fact that Accers are performing so well .......... and the constant stream of comments about how we (and every other club) should mimic Leicester (who are doing very well it must be said) is getting a little bit repetitive now.

Would have preferred a reasoned reply rather than altering my opinions. Not seen that before from Rattus who has received "likes" in the past from me. Must be short of ideas for a reasoned reply:stunned:
I,m sorry but they is clearly BS , we all know the tour is only arranged last minute - as we ahve so many complaining on here that its difficult/impossible for supporters to get flights, time off work etc :winking:
Haha, I never said us fans would know about the tour earlier... Just that it was being organised... Come on why would the club change a habit of a lifetime. 
I am hearing that the Malaga area might have a blue hue this summer......
Hmm, maybe Phil should have spoken about this definitively about six weeks ago. What has changed?
I'm reading between the lines that what this means is that Brown wanted to go Bolton but a) didn't want a relegation on his CV so hedged his bets until we were out of play-off contention b) Bolton realised they cannot afford him c) Bolton have now decided, after recent poor form, they don't want him after all.
Glad to see that this has all been conducted with Southend's interests at heart. Too cynical?

People often highlight the spine of a side being it's basis to build around.
Leicester have Schmeichel, Huth, Morgan, Drinkwater, Vardy.
We have/had Bentley, Barrett, Bolger, Leonard, Barnett..
Speaking from the heart, I have heard so much rumour, so little from Brown that I really couldn't care less whether he is here next season or not.
I suspect he has got the most that he could from this squad. He is old fashioned with his defensive mind set. The best team in the land Leicester are solid defensively but set out to graft and get forward. Liverpool and Spurs are doing similar with limited success but they are entertaining and generally Browns sides are rarely entertaining.
I wish him well wherever he goes but have had enough of the gossip of him staying or going.:winking:
Any League 1 manager that is never linked to an "opportunity" - is a manager that is struggling! Be careful what you wish for.
