Wasn't my 1st choice but a wealth of experience, and to use Southend as an example is a bit lame as they were cooked when he took over.
Look how well Southend are doing since he left……

At least he knows how to win at Holker St, which is more than Cooper did.

Basically we all need to get right behind him for the run in whether we think it’s a good appointment or not.
We have no other choice now.
Personally I can see a few players flourishing under him. Think he’ll get the best out of Banks, Rooney & Gotts.

To be fair to the bloke he went into a Southend team who were losing every week and didn't lose a game. I'd take that for now. Next season is next season.

16 games in charge won 4 drew 5 lost 7
Let's hope he is not the first manager to take two consecutive teams down in two seasons.
Needed experience let's hope does the job

See the last photo in the gallery posted on the official site today. Some will mock, but there is something about the pose and the attitude that makes me smile (yeah, I know, hope I am still smiling in May!).

It smacks of desperation, but that is understandable, given our league position and the direst of consequences if we were to be relegated. It’s got to be good that he is experienced. I have no idea about his style of play; no doubt we will find out soon enough. Underpinning everything is the necessity to win. We will probably discover if our players are any good over the next few weeks as well. They need to show that they are professional footballers ready to do their job, and not just go through the motions.

All appointments carry risk but he needs our full support for the rest of the season then let's take it from there. He's obviously been temporarily appointed with one simple remit to keep us up, then review. I'd say he ticks the 'motivational qualities' box so let's see. Good luck Phil and welcome

We really are supping in The Last Chance Saloon so we may as well hire the old gunslinger propping the bar up.
What have we got to lose?

Not sure why Brown is seen by some as a joke figure. Experienced manager who could well be exactly what we need. Bit of personality and spirit. Certainly won't be [SwearFilter] moaning all day like Cooper.
