    But when the wheels came off, they did so violently and ruinously. Hull clung on to their top-flight status on the last day of the season having lost seven and won none of their last 10 games, and he was sacked the following March after a run of one win in 16 matches. Some of his managerial innovations, such as walking his players across the Humber bridge – on one occasion he claimed that he talked a suicidal woman out of leaping to her death, something not backed up by any of his players or the Humber bridge board – or delivering his half-time team-talk on the pitch during a heavy defeat at Manchester City, were widely mocked.

    "In Madrid we did a tour of the Bernabéu, and you go through all that history," he says. "And the players are saying to me: 'That's Iván Campo,' who I worked with for three years at Bolton. 'There's Fernando Hierro,' who I worked with for a year at Bolton. These are legends from the world of football and I'm there and I've worked with them.

    "It was nice to have them understand that I've been at that level. It takes a lot of sacrifice to get there and these guys have the ability, not to play at Real Madrid, but they have the ability to play higher. They just haven't got the mentality yet, and hopefully I can put that into them."


    I hope he does well. But god he sounds such a cock whenever he speaks. Im sure they only interview him to take the piss.

    Still our best ever manager until Brucey does it this season mind

    “A successful team is paramount, our office team mirrors the success of Arsenal football team, but with less foreigners.” <laugh>

    There are limits to my comedy. There are things that I&#8217;ll never laugh at. The handicapped. Because there&#8217;s nothing funny about them. Or any deformity. It&#8217;s like when you see someone look at a little handicapped and go &#8216;ooh, look at him, he&#8217;s not able-bodied. I am, I&#8217;m prejudiced.&#8217; Yeah, well, at least the little handicapped fella is able-minded. Unless he&#8217;s not, it&#8217;s difficult to tell with the wheelchair ones

    Brownie deserves our respect and appreciation for what he did for us, but he's a lunatic.
