Personally, I can't find anything to dislike him for. Yesterday was like being at the pantomime and he was the perfect villian. The cries from the audience changed from "He's behind you!" to "Brown is a wanker" and he milked the scene very well...giving us a big evil smile while we were doing it and even doing his bow at the end by applauding us in The Boothen. In between, during the 'act', he did everything he could to get us on his back and his 'retaliatory towel trick' had me grinning at his dastardliness. If he was on at The Victoria Hall in a seasonal panto, I would probably go and see him. I'd take some rotten tomatos though for if he did an over-the-top 'Windass' on us.   OS. |

I didn't like his cynical attempts to referee the game by questioning every single decision, but I didn't have a problem with his theatrics in front of us in the West Stand, it livened up a pretty dour game.

I quite like him, and hate him at the same time .
and unlike some managers who have had stick off us, took it in good heart and praised the atmosphere .

I'd love to play his part, Dave. Really! I'd have some of the moaning buggers on here foaming at the mouth.  ;D M. |

He deservedly got his team promoted, ahead of so called 'bigger' clubs.
He's engineered a good start, against the odds.
He's excellent for his club.
He would be excellent for us if he was our boss.
Personally, I can't see much to dislike about him.
When you think about it, most posters on here only dislike him for his 'tan' - cos they can't think of any other reason.

I don't mind the panto act to the crowd but I don't like his "smug cunt" demeanor though and I prefer the more humble approach. His "refereeing" of yesterdays game annoyed me as did his team's gamesmanship.
Can't knock him for doing a great job but that doesn't mean I have to like him.

I take many of the points above but for what it's worth (nowt I suppose) it's a fine-line between loveable-rogue / character and a cynical, unsporting cheat. It is my opinion that the Brown and Horton show falls very clearly into the latter category....

He's a wanker -
The comments last season showed that and also how naive he was..
For every single throw yesterday he was on at the 4th official and the fact he told Windarse to do what he did and the behaviour of Windarse afterwards shows that those traits are fed through to the players - can you imagine a TP player giving the crowd stick like Windarse did? They wouldn't dare....
And right at the end again, it was Tango who told McShane to go for the towel
He spent the whole game acting as if there was a world watching him, with his dramatised shaking of the head and bending back for a belly laugh at decisions - the man has no class whatsoever...

"Class"
That's the word, nail on head ns.
The bloke hasn't got any class at all, it's all very well having a laugh at his theatrics but his lack of class in winning and losing is very apparent.

I'm just amazed that all these years my geography has been so wrong judging by Phil's tan.
I had no idea that Hull was so much closer to the Equator than Stoke was?

Tango Man reminded me of a Pantomine Dame yesterday...whirling and swirling around in that black leather coat..white shirt and black tie...like a drag-queen on acid...and he really did 'milk' the performance..every now and again..he dissapeared into the fog..then re-appeared again...swirling around even more...gesticulating and spitting verbiage at the officials...at one point I swear I could hear him saying (from row 30 of block 21)..."Oh yes it is" and the linesman said "Oh no it isn't" and this was repeated several times and on many occasions throughout the game before finally...Tango Man wiped his forlock with the red towel..and pirouetted towards The Boothen...applauding himself for such a masterful theatrical performance....to the sound of 'Wanker...Wanker...." Tango Man didn't mind that...it was all part and parcel of the performance.... |

I don't particularly like him as a human being but on the past couple of seasons' evidence he's a bloody marvellous manager. He's doing everything right imo.
That's a great new pic of you, OS ;D

Thought it was hilarious.. The game needs more characters like him and windarse.. The goalkeeper kicking it out for a corner was also funny – 2 sides with plenty of balls and character.. Neither will get relegated..

When we play Hull I'll happily abuse him for the entire game but to be honest I quite like him and as others have said he's basically the pantomime baddie.
He's probably the only British manager that has done more with less than our very own Super Tone. How some people can admire Brown but not our Tone is frankly mind blowing!

The only thing I dislike about him is that he clearly thinks his brand of football is something well ahead of ours, when in actual fact Hull have scored from set pieces more than any other team in the premier league and hoof it with the best of em.

I've spoken up for PB, on here, for weeks but yesterday caused me to change my tune.
Despite all the criticism of him on here, I haven't yet read anyone who rants about Brown's criticism of the ref, for booking Windass. Yes really. Can you imagine anyone thinking that what DW did was legal? Yet this idiot was mad (he said that it was 'amazing', that he was booked
As for saying that he won't apologise for our type of football, it's beyond belief. What does it have to do with him, unless he is asked a relevant question? Ah the impertinance of the fellow.
On Kamara's Sky prog, this morning, it showed what Windass
did, so brazenly, and then showed an oldie of Challinor and his long throw, some years go. An opposition player stood in front of him, thus obstructing him, and all hell broke loose. The players had to be separated and the manager went nuts. It was almost out of control.
Contrast that to yesterday, where Delap took no notice and TP never left his area at that time. But arent WE supposed to be the big, ugly, thugs? I'm sick of this stereotyping. And how come I've read nothing about Hull's giants, today?
