How pathetic. Talking himself into a big hole and out of any decent future employment I suspect. It won't get you your job back Jody. Would love to hear his excuse for why he was sacked then.

If you take apart a team the fans have got used to supporting because they are partially succeeding against the odds and you replace it with something better, you stay, if not it shouldn't be a surprise that same support don't take too favourably to it and you walk, especially when up to 41 of those supporters still have some money at stake.
Brown decided to replace a team of overachievers with a collection of individuals who underachieved, and in doing so turned on the fans and made excuses about everything. Stafford in his comment above hits the nail firmly on the head.
