Phil Brown

[Ayrshire Blue]

Phil Brown was largely responsible for the beginning of our demise by adding veterans on high wages with no resale value. The fact we then got this guy back and gave him yet another budget to add further vets with no legs was Ron Martin’s darkest day and I’ll never forgive him for giving us Phil Brown ****ing twice

Can you please post this again so I can like it for a second time.

Sorry ,but the tipping point was the appointment of Sol and the blame is solely Ron's .The moment he couldn't financially even pay the players or staff,.led to a fire sale which left us with a squad of non league standard youngsters .This has led us to where we are now .All the managers since have been trying to reverse the damage with a limited budget which could never replace the quality lost in the core positions.
Our reputation caused by Ron hasn't helped the recruitment either to stop the rot

Totally agree. Phil brown is responsible for bringing those players in but at the same time Ron has put club into a position where those players (bargain basement rubbish) have become our level for potential signings. Those young hungry players with talent are not going to sign for club who had previously financial problems and winding up orders.

Phil Brown on getting Sacked. I'm not listening to the whole 40 minutes so no idea if he mentions blues, probably not.

I have to say I’m quite pleased you’ve EXITED and found TIME TO SAY GOODBYE. It’s amazing how anyone could get so much wrong in a single post !

Silly me ! I could have sworn we lost our next game v Woking (and ,of course,Brown did a fantastic job after taking us down ).

The only Blues mention is on 20:08, lasting about 5 minutes. Talks about a conversation with Ron Martin about player selection between Dan Bentley, Paul Smith and Ted Smith, and then about succeeding Paul Sturrock and a three-and-a-half hour conversation he had at Sturrock's house on the day of his first press conference when Luggy discussed the strengths and weaknesses of the squad to help him out.

Spoiler alert....

100% respect to Sturrock for doing that. How many other sacked managers would have done that?.

It wouldn't have taken long to brief Maher on the strengths of the squad he took over

Was that 27 away supporters just stated on the radio?

If it was, then full credit to them. A journey around the M25 late afternoon, plus the daily queue at the Dartford Tunnels, is a nightmare!.

Absolutely - just realised I was on the wrong thread as well - doh!!!

I guess they probably run along a bus route - many of them were probably hindered by being pushed in the road when a bus approached.


Out of interest who was last?

A long time ago but I heard Ian Ian McKechnie (RIP) had to be dragged out of any pubs they passed on seafront training runs.

His signing was awful, apart from two! Wasted our budgets too, apparently Dunne earn more than 3 Boreham Wood best players put together.
