Horton has been Phil Brown’s assistant at Hull, Preston and worked with him at Southend so clearly they are a team, like Futcher and Flitcroft.

Wasn't Brian Horton linked with the Swindon job in that strange period in 2002/3 when Kingy was under pressure and Steve Coppell came into help, said we were doomed, and Kingy ground out some results with a transfer embargo and we stayed up comfortably.

You're thinking of another ex Man City boss Mel Machin.

 Brown does seem to be a bit of a character, not that means he'll be any good, but aside from the mad Italian, we've had some right dour fuckers in recent years.

 I want to see a half time team talk on the pitch after a likely terrible first half at the CG in the next home game v Morecambe.

We’re level on points with 7th and a favourable run in. It’s far from over, although unlikely given our current state.

Time for a new avatar then. I can't say I'm bowled over with excitement, but fingers crossed a man in orange can bring some good luck to the men in red.

He must know of a few out of work CBs as well. I still reckon we'll see one come in.
And a keeper hopefully.

With this league so topsy turvy with results (basically everyone is shit) even teams with big budgets in this division haven't been sparkling. It's a league full of turds and only really Accrington are the ones who can hold their heads high. Genuine achievement by them if they go up. It looks likely.

For me, play-offs are still wide open and even an outside chance of automatic is there. Twists and turns indeed.

May I suggest a bottle of Carrot Oil as your avatar?

Some unintentionally hilarious responses on there and a perfect example of how being outraged/offended is a national pastime...

Why are you always playing the race card curtis ?

You honestly think colour comes into it? If they're good enough if they would be employed regardless of colour

Our first Geordie manager?

"Sleeping giant".
Phil, you are more than welcome with having a good go at waking us up.
Wierdly hes from South Shields in the middle of Geordie territory but grew up as a Mackem supporting Sunderland.

Depends if you could Tommy Miller caretaker manager with Ward and Colin Todd almost made it coming from Chester-le-Street.

Phil Brown is a solid appointment if not overly inspiring, a step up from Flitcroft but similar in style to him and to his mentor Sam Allardyce who he learn his stuff from, lots of long ball percentage play, set pieces and corners but he has had a few results.

I am impressed that Power has gone for experience though as that is whats needed to get us anywhere near promotion this season it appears.

Now lets see if he has any "irons in the fire" concerning free agents who can help us achieve play offs at least.

Could have been a lot worse and after all we are in Div 4 so some managers would have been well out of our league really that were linked.

Come on Phil get us up at your first time of asking then that will shut up any doubters...myself at times included, I will back you now you are appointed so get us some results.
