Title: Brown and out!
Post by: anne honemous on January 17, 2018, 04:39:40 pm: Tanning salons in Southend have lost their most popular customer.

At least they'll have the fake lot off TOWIE to keep them in business.

Post by: Colemans Left Hook on January 18, 2018, 12:55:59 am: in june 201 I started a thread on here asking who you all thought would be the first manager to get sacked I predicted phil brown - but with such a good start this is the first time an "opportunity has knocked" weird he is put on gardening duty when it's not the weather for it -- had a feeling "knives" were out last season but they ended the season well so "opportunity didn't knock"

early last season I saw the warning signs of a sacking then somehow they improved tremendously SHOWING WHAT A POOR LEAGUE it was last year

expect knives to be out when he fails to reproduce the goods

not the best photo to show how his eyes stick out but it'll have to do

whiteman fortunately chose wisely he would have been right pi$$ed off -- anyhow the geography was a big risk in not settling in at at a place where the tide not only turns on the beach but is also AT LAST !! turning on the grass -- "down down deeper and down" at the moment

And there's a few on the list above him that have certainly run their course and will be lucky to keep their job for much longer.

I looked at the time, think he was pretty high, top 10, top 5?
