Perhaps we are seeing the impact of a CEO who knows how to handle contracts with incentives, rather than an owner who doesn't.
Sounds like an excellent signing who won't be a shrinking violet in the dressing room either.
Take my money!!! ?He gets lots of goals from set pieces.
Except my comment isn't about PB, it's about the owner who did approve similar signings in the past and the hopefully positive impact that a CEO who knows his job will have so we don't see any more WOW signings which of course we knew was a code meaning Waste of WagesOur maybe it's an extension of the myth that PB signs loads of players over 30 and gives them 3 year contacts!!!

This comment worries me after last season:
"and he gives us the option to play three centre backs if necessary"
I haven't seen one moan since the signing was announced - have I missed something as they all appear to be 100% positivemoan moan moan .Some fans on hear are never happy .We bring in players who know there way around the Nation League and some on hear still are not happy .The answer is if you do not like what Phil Brown is bringing in then do not go to games .No one forces you in the gate .
Wouldn't worry about that now. I'm only opposed to the system if we don't have the right players to make it work. We won't know the answer to that until our transfer business is complete.

If he scores he has a great chanceI reckon he could be our top scorer next season.

Didn't we let him go a free?I remember Willie
I dont know about the 3 year thing and you may be right
I think there is however clear evidence that Phil does quite like to ensure a number of older professionals as witnessed by 4 of his 5 signings to date. I wont list their ages as it produces mouth foaming for some and only those who like the concept are expected to proffer a view regarding age
I like the prospects of a balanced squad and maybe with Bridge coming in we will see balance directed in the other direction and as I understand it a few more
Equally of course you can win everything with kids
Based on trophy wins alone, Sir Alex Ferguson ( with 48 trophies is way out in front ) is recognised as the best Manager ever
Some of his own best tips..
Theres a huge difference between building a TEAM and Building a CLUB
Build from the bottom with [players growing up together, producing a bond and spirit )
The first thought of Managers is to make sure they win to survive, so their instinct is to bring in experienced players
In Todays world who waits for a Manager to build a team over a 4 year period You need to dare to rebuild and need a keen sense of players life cycles
Winning a game is a short term gain but building a club brings stability and consistency
The cycle of a successful team tends to last for 4 years and evolve gradually
Changing Managers frequently creates player power in the dressing room, NEVER lose control, respond forcefully to any challenge quickly
Cut the cord quick on any player negatively effecting the dressing room or team performance, there is no other way,
I hope that looking at our recent signings they will most of all inspire values , a never give up attitude , a must give all approach and develop our youngsters and that Phil can boldly Manage the new leaders
