According to the sunday sun, page 62, Bradford City have made Phil Brown their leading candidate should Phil Parkinson fail to arrest their slide in fortunes at the moment.

Phil Brown is always going to be linked with vacant manager jobs. Almost every one at the moment, Championship and below. This is probably one of the reasons that he was offered such a long contract. There is that feeling about him that he will come good, and if another club wants to take him then Southend will want a massive lump in compensation whilst he is under a long contract. I think that is more Ron Martin being shrewd rather than stupid over the long contract thing.
As for now, we have to put up with these very annoying threads about Phil wanted by this club and that club. It was only a few weeks ago that he was a certainty to go to his old club Bolton, according to some people, but he's still here and he seems a man of his word, and says that he wants to finish the job he has started at Southend. Now when he finally gets us promotion, that is what I think he means by finishing the job, then I will think he will take one of these job offers.
So Bradford, No, and certainly not now.
I think your find you are starting a negative thread. The sub title of Shrimpers Chit Chat is "The Forums to discuss all issues about the world's greatest team : Southend United" As this was reported in a national paper surely this is a point for discussion.
Phil still in contract talks then I see. #agenttalk

He's just signed a 4 year contract. I doubt he's looking to move at the moment.
Seems this sort of repeated behaviour is tolerated though. The standard of moderating is hit and miss at best. We have even had a mod absolutely slating PB at every opportunity recently. One rule for them............no wonder so many don't bother posting now, in my opinion removing my comment is OTT and I have sent a pm to the mod expressing my view

Maybe it is and there is a good reason for that. We are all individuals who do it in our spare time. There are no hard and fast rules that we can follow, it mostly comes down to gut instinct.
If one moderator spots something amiss they might post about it in the mod forum to canvass the opinions of others, but often we will just do what we think is best for the general well being of the forum. Sometimes we will go over the top, sometimes we won't go far enough, but until someone devises an algorithm that allows robots to moderate the forum, then there will be elements of inconsistency.
For what it's worth, I saw nothing wrong with the OP. It was reporting a national newspaper story that others may have missed, simple as that.
