Phil Brown is now favourite to be the new Portsmouth manager, his odds have dropped from 40/1 at the start of the week, to 2/1.
At least this job will give him greater media profile than Southend, and we all know that's what makes him happiest.
Why would he leave a club currently in a playoff spot for mid-table Pompy, I cant see them offering much money, they're skint!
Pompey are a much bigger club, they may be down in League Two now, but they're still getting crowds three times the size of Southend.
In the play-off's, a slim chance of automatic promotion. PB's Southend record includes a 50% win ratio. You can't keep a good man down. http://www.football.co.uk/league-tables/league-2/
