Should Phil Brown Stay

[RHB]

Correct. [My idea of humour!]

You can stop that right now!

Why bring uncertainty to the team, break up a winning team and spend money to pay him off??? What does "Bart" mean???

A looooooooooong SZ tradition.

Without Bart, polls are pointless. He is a ex GK.

Don't understand this thread, is he going then?

The terrible year of 2016. Stupid comments etc.

I understand your feelings but I think that is now past and I'm sure if we go flying up the league you'll think differently.
I always said that I wouldn't judge until November and I'll stick by that.

This thread is to try and give balance.

Voted Bart.........

I know for a fact that the club monitor the Zone on a regular basis, hence the phone calls from the club when they don't like some of the posts.

You must get a hell of a lot of phone calls then... :smile:

Voted 3 more games. If we compete against Bury away and Bradford home then would vote stay. After those matches maybe we could be in or near the play-off places. And as much as first couple of months have been dire against all the odds we could have a decent season.

If he ever plays 1 lone forward ever again....instant sack
If he continues with the present set up........I need to think about his future:winking:

He didn't have a choice, Mooney and Cox are both poachers with no strength in the air so we looked awful when they played together, having just Mooney up front and flooding the midfield when he inevitably didn't win the ball played long made more sense than persisting with 4-4-2. Now that we have Fortune and Ranger we can play 2 up front.

Give me a chance to publish stuff for the front page bloke !!

Oh do me a favour, should he go - should he stay. Stop all this now.

It won't, plus I don't see us flying up the league anyway imo.

I wouldn't bother wasting your breathe, every thread this comes out and many people have pointed out exactly what you have, but unfortunately it never goes in!!

I previously said I had eventually come down on the Brown out side, but nothing would make me happier than see him turn it around. To be fair, I believe he is on the road to doing that, and I am happy.

My only fear is another run if injuries could reveal how thin our squad is, so I would like to see the squad strengthened in January.

Said on the last vote we had seen an improvement so he needed a few more games and thankfully we have continued that run.

Hopefully players can stay fit and we can continue to compete now so more than happy for Brown to continue.

Spot on, there was no point in persisting with two up front at the time, we were getting spanked and sitting in the relegation zone, he had to try to stop us getting thrashed and flooding the midfield made sense. Cox and Mooney was no better than Mooney on his own so why play both just for the sake of it.

Right now with everyone back "fit" and enough decent strikers and with Ranger and Fortune to play alongside one of them we are playing the right formation and with Wordsworth back the midfield has a little more quality in as well.

We're currently 15th in League One, I'd be more than happy if we finish there bearing in mind that we lost our two best players in the summer and we have to continue to play at a dire stadium that is one of the worst league grounds in the country.

We have made steady progress under Brown in all of his seasons here and he more than deserves to continue his good work at the club.

 

[Sandbach Shrimper]

He's found short term solutions that were glaringly obvious. Long-term he's still not a good enough manager and I'll be surprised if he's here come the start of next season.

Exactly how I see it. While he's getting results we can't complain, and I am proud of the fact that our club is one of the few left that gives managers time. The players seem to have got some of their confidence back, but I still think he has significant shortcomings as a manager, and the next bad run is probably not that far away. But for now, Brown in. :thumbsup:

I'm sure that if we won the Champions League in 4 years, some will still be unhappy.
It's called human nature.
