And Another Thing… I’m a Giant Douche
Former Hull City manager, and presumably part-time gardener, Phil Brown has another chance to prove he’s an egomaniacal ass.
Brown was hired today to manage Preston North End. It’s really not a good match as the club is the Lillywhites and Brown maintains a George Hamilton-like tawny bronze (and here’s a fun way to kill 10 seconds… go Google “tanned actor”).
PNE currently sits rock bottom of the Championship table, a full seven points from safety. Hell, they are four points from Scunthorpe, the team immediately above them, who also have a game in hand over the bottom dwellers.
So for PNE chairman Maurice Lindsay, what’s there to lose? Besides maybe some casual fans who find Brown utterly repulsive as a human being. But remember it was Brown who took Hull City from the drop zone around Christmas time of 2006 to the Premier League after winning promotion playoffs at the end of the 2007-2008 season. That is a pretty impressive 18 month turnaround.
But anyone ever see Julian Lennon play live? Maybe somebody should tell Lindsay that lightning never strikes twice. Oh wait, he should already know that having just fired Darren Ferguson.
I don’t understand the hate; I find Phillip of Orange pretty entertaining.
Entertaining, sort of… But just an obnoxious ego-fulled ass. Starting with the public dressing down he did of the side on the pitch against (I think it was) Citeh. No coincidence that was the start of the club’s collapse.
Then there was the whole “I saved a woman from taking her life on the bridge.” The phantom charges against Fabregas. Etc.
I agree Keith. I’m happy to have Phil Brown back in my life.
And if he does keep them up, we get to hear him singing again.
YES!! I have missed Phil Brown. He’s a twat of the highest order, and a good source of entertainment. Welcome back, Captain Orange!
does this mean his fake twitter(s) will come back?
Phil Brown for England.
Phil Brown for Liverpool! Where he belongs
@whiz, now don’t get my hopes up
I like Super Tan. At least managers in England have some personality, even though Super Tan is a buffoon.
TPRU: Hadn’t thought of that… I can only assume Fake Phil Brown will indeed be back.
