Because Nathan Jones' best managerial years are (probably) ahead of him.
Phil Brown's best managerial years are (definitely) behind him.
What makes you say that?
Because in the 1,690 days he has been in charge at Southend he has never once done anything to suggest to me that he was capable of taking another side into the Premiership.
His team selections are often perverse, his substitutions and tactics often questionable, his man management has been strongly criticised as has been his commitment to the cause. Yes, he was in charge for the promotion from the lowest division by the very, very narrowest of margins and yes we appear stabilised at the next level. How has he achieved that ? I'm not sure; perhaps he is one of Napolean's proverbial lucky generals ?
You presumably think differently? What do you see as his strengths that will see him surpass his truly great success at Hull all those years ago ?
