“If a week is a long time in politics, a year can be an eternity for a football manager. Just ask Kevin Keegan, Tony Adams or Juande Ramos. Phil Brown, the so-called ‘Primark Jose Mourinho’, is another boss whose fortunes have tilted dramatically in the past 12 months. This time last season, Brown’s Hull City became only the second team to beat Arsenal at the Emirates. A wonder goal from Geovanni and a fair bit of luck in their own penalty box added up to give Brown ‘the best day of my life, without a shadow of a doubt’. He is now fighting for his job.” (WSC)
