I’ve been assistant to a team in the Peterlee and District Sunday League for about twenty years, do you think it’s about time I was given a chance at a higher level?
It’s a individuals choice , Phillips wants to be a manager, and it’s a lower level to where he was coaching and assistant. If you wanted to be a manager at the level you have been assistant for 20 yrs, you would have been a manager by now.
 
Philips is after the vacancy at Bristol Rovers according to today's media.
If he gets it and makes a decent fist of it that would be a right kick in the gonads for us lot up here.
The report also says he wanted the job up here as well.
Different expectations on him down there though. Far less pressure on the role at Bristol than Sunderland. I would see it as him cutting his teeth.
