It's all lining up perfectly!!! .... 
<<<<<<<<< Surprised he was there that long. A managerial career which promised so much seems to have petered out to not very much....sad.
Read an interview this morning in four four two magazine with Brownie , he mentioned the Man City team talk and how 2 players had let him down with their Christmas Day activities . It's probably common knowledge but i always miss things like that, any idea who the 2 were?
That's what happens when a club discovers you're in talks to rejoin a former club chairman without their consent. Bring him back - as entertainments manager.
He feels so broke up, he wants to come home...

Can’t believe our Jim would do that, such an inspirational character to anyone associated with the club
Bullard was there for the man city team talk wasnt he?....i think....maybe
Good point, not them then.
Wasn’t it that Christmas that Deano and King had a fall out on the team bonding trip to the casino?
Bullard arrived the following month . Then scored the equaliser from the spot the next December and did the comical celebration parody of PB team talk .
Personally, I always liked Phil Brown, and feel he was sacked at the wrong time, he should have been given the chance to turn it around at least until the end of that season.
However, I am not in favour of him coming back, if new owners have the same ambition as most fans, then we need to aim higher.

It would be difficult to aim any lower!!
Thanks Kempton. The book is just going through a few final edits and laying out. I'd been hoping to get it out for Christmas but my moving house, a family illness and an inability to raise any money through advertising/sponsorship mean that I'm on 'plan D': crowdfunding in the New Year with a release date of March/April pencilled in.
On the topic, for me the most fascinating bit of the book is the team talk. I don't know who the players were. No one would say (no one would comment on the Casino incident too, sadly, in spite of my repeated asking). George Boateng was taken off in the first half, but I don't think he was one of the two. Windass and King were to leave the club within weeks of the game too, but I doubt it was the former (surely he wouldn't have started at all...) What's fascinating, however, is the way different players see the team talk. I've interviewed 12 of the starters/subs and many of the backroom staff as well as Browny, Horton and Duffen. For some, it didn't matter. For others, it was the beginning of our downfall, the event that saw the whole atmosphere in the club change. Browny claims he doesn't regret it and would do it again. I doubt it.
With Brown's sacking, my opinion is that he's trying too hard to be the manager he was when his time at City came to an end. He needs to be the manager we got when he started. A few people have commented how he went from being a tracksuit manager who was more one of the lads to being this sharp-dressed, constantly besuited boss who wasn't as approachable. I'd love for Phil to succeed again in management. He's a terrific bloke and he really loves both Hull and Hull City. I just suspect he has to get back to his basics to do it.
It kicked off in the casino when Deano told King he should just 'put it all on black', just a joke, but it wasn't well received.
