Bye Bye Tango I shall miss you.

[ted1965]

I don’t know you leave the country for 10 days and get back to find Hull City appointed Ian Dowie as their new manager after parting company with Phil Brown on Tuesday. Will they get the quick fix that sometimes happens when you appoint a new manager if so it could be an inspired choice. Some things shouldn’t be allowed to happen in football and Hull parting company with the Orange one is up there for me. So much pleasure and amusement has come from his tenure as manager that he will be missed.

Though why did poor Tango Phil get the bullet surely someone who had taken the club into the Premier League for the first time in the clubs history deserved a chance to once more save them from the drop. While Brown wasn’t everyone’s cup of tea he certainly put Hull City on the map. I am sure life wont be the same on Humberside without Brown’s early morning strolls across it while quoting himself through his headset. Of course nobody is bigger than the club but I wonder if Hull don’t get an instant lift from the new manager if they will regret sacking him now rather than waiting till the season ended.

I somehow can’t see Dowie behaving in the same eccentric way. I don’t see him holding his half time team talk in the middle of the pitch. Or walking around looking like a Gay action man. I also doubt Dowie glows in the dark like a Chernobyl bloodhound. It must have been pretty scary in the changing room if Brown came out of the shower with his light sabre glowing telling Dean Windass to feel the force.

Brown who claims his orange tinged skin is as a result of him tanning easily and had nothing to so with sun beds or his contract with a well known wood staining product. Of course this might hold more water if he had been the manager of Majorca or Monaco rather than him being on Humberside for the past number of winters. So what exactly was his secret to an everlasting tan. Was he as many suspect auditioning for the remake of It Ain’t half hot mum and tragically having failed to get the part of the Punkah Walla found that rubbing tea into your skin over a few months was irreversible. Brown denied any connection and said he was never interested in the part and had never rubbed his skin with tea or any other substance likely to cause it to go orange or assume the texture of shrivelled leather.

So what next for Phil Brown super Clown, could he appear on our television screens soon in Doctor Who as a new and terrifying alien creature Satsuma from some far off galaxy in Attack of the Tangomen. He will be revealed as the long lost brother of Alien android television presenter and failed politician Robot Killjoy Sulk.

Maybe a singing career beckons after his wonderful rendition during Hull’s survival celebrations. Just what could he sing, would he appear in musical based on his own life Jesus Brown Superstar singing such tunes as Cover me in Cuprinol and call me God.

Or maybe a movie The Cock worked Orange. Brown would obviously play himself in both as no Hollywood hunk could do him justice. The story of a young handsome football manager who upset the establishment and dreamed of glories to come only for the authorities to perform an operation on his brain that caused him to wear an ear piece and headset through which he received shock treatment whenever he stepped out of line. Which explains the involuntary twitching of the arms and head shaking gestures.

Will he now commit to sponsorship deals such as Orange pay as you glow. Will Oxfam continue to dress him from their urban pimp range for the homeless. Will hidden hearing continue to sponsor him now his ear piece maybe missing from interviews.

Personally I shall miss Brown he was like the Pantomime villain you booed him but were amused by him at the same time and football needs more like him. Obviously not managing my team but certainly at other clubs. Whatever else you can say about him he wasn’t dour or boring.

We have a collection of cardboard managers at the top level with personalities to match. Big Sam, Roy hound dog Hodgeson, Big Eck, Manic Mick and Avram the undertaker Grant all have faces like smacked backsides and make Trevor Francis seem exciting when they talk. You wonder how they ever inspire a team to perform, as I listen I usually drift off to sleep and wonder whether life after death involves interviews by any of the above and if so do I really wish to take part.

Bye Tango man you have given me lots of laughs over the last few years and I am sure you’ll be back and still be as big an ego maniac as ever or at least I hope you will.

[y_oh_y_delilah]

ted, what can I say?

Chuckled so loud all the way through your piece to the extent that any stray office passers-by must have been thinking, to paraphrase Shirley Valentine, I'd gone loop da fuckin' loop!
;D

[victoriaboothenboy]

Thats wonderful Ted. Really hilarious and like you I shall miss Tango enormously.

Can anyone think of a football club suitable for the rather eccentric talents of the great man?
Two rules......
1.A present manager can be sacked to accomodate mighty Phil.
2.Port Vale do not qualify as a suitable football club (Sorry)

Oi Ted.. Did you miss anyone off the boring bastard list..?

Billy,

You’ve gotta be pretty pissed off at the moment, right?

Relegation looking pretty much nailed on with the guy appointed to try and stop this being Ian fucking Dowie.

Oh well, shit happens I guess ;D ;D ;D ;D

Billy our Tone is full of wit and charm look at how he handled Wenger so how can you even put him in the same league as the cardboard clones above.

[elliottgold]

"Tango" might have only won 5 games in the last God knows how long but if it was not for Stoke City it would have been 4 wins - not the 5 that it is.

Can we play you every week please.

[kaney78]

Ill miss him.annoying at times but brightened up my day a few times with his antics.and have to say love him or hate him got to respect him for gettin hull in the prem

[squares]

Wont be long until hes on sky sports news again.

[fuman]

Just back from Panacea in Alderley Edge following the annual night out with the missus and guess who was in there? The Orange one! One of those double look moments. In addition Tevez was in with his entourage and believe it or not the legendary Georgie Berry! Bizzare.

[werrington]

Lets do a tick box..

Did he get Hull City into the Premieship?...Yes or No

Did he keep them in the Premiership?...Yes or No

Have they still got a great chance of staying in the Premiership?...Yes or No

Unbelievabe where our Tone is lorded { rightly so }and he is ridiculed!!.....Hats off to Phil Brown i say...I would not like him as manager of SCFC but come on and cut him some slack!!!....Well done Phil Brown for doing the unimaginable at a club like Hull City

[rambo61]

Anyone who is prepared to go on live t.v with a pink jumper draped over his shoulders demands a certain level of respect!(or should that be contempt??)
