[Finn Keane o' Balmaqueen]

Steve Thompson?

 

[bricktop]

Bert ,brownie is spending half an hour in the beer garden having a quiet pint in the sun and has just consulted his memory and it has told him this.

Since Porterfield

McEwan - Promoted from within
Bassett - had recently been sacked by Watford
Kendall - had recently had a year out of the game after well documented problems at Notts Co
Spackman - promoted from within
Thompson - temporary promotion from within
Bruce - straight from playing career
Heath - Peter Reids no 2 at Sunderland
Warnock - poached but on the verge of the sack at Bury
Robson - recently sacked at WBA
Blackwell - recently parted way at a relegation bound Luton
Speed - promoted from within
Adams - poached from Port Vale
Wilson - sacked at Swindon
Weir - Evertons reserve team manager
Clough - recently sacked by Derby
Adkins - recently sacked by Reading

Brownie also thinks he might his bladey bladey crayons out and write to Pinchy to find out why he is also so against Wilder.

He might also keep a close eye on Barney and see what he can get his season for after we drop points in a couple of games towards the end of September

Depends if you use Micky or Mickey as your preference for the great man.
Never heard anyone call Kendall Howie but I could be wrong.

Bert's memory has just gone back over the last 30 years worth of managers and it has informed Bert that apart from Bassett and Warnock they were all crap.

I've only had a single pint so far and heading up town to meet one of my knuckle dragging, simpleton pal so I may have another half a dozen sniffs of the barmaids apron.

This minor error can be attributed to Brownies all singing, all dancing IPhone not being as razor sharp as brownies mind
