NickG Posted 20 October, 2008 Share Posted 20 October, 2008 on MOTD2 thet showed todays premiership table and 12 months ago CCC. Hull went from 18th in CCC to 3rd in premiership -amazing performance. Although we are far far from showing any improvement let alone that sort of thing, but to me that is one of the reasons I always will support saints, the dream that one day things will change and when they do we can, in relatively short period rise again, can't we?

I saw that. I was quite disappointed that they didn't show Saints in the Championship table. It was the best chance we had of being on MoTD this season.

krissyboy31 Posted 20 October, 2008 Share Posted 20 October, 2008 the question is, what steps were taken to turn an 18th place side into one that got promoted? A decent experienced manager, with a owner/chairman with a few bob allowing him to strengthen the squad. Oh yes and the loaning of Fraizer Campbell from Manyoo. Sounds about as far removed from us as it could possibly be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickG Posted 20 October, 2008 Author Share Posted 20 October, 2008 did they change manager / chairman at that time? I can't remember Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh yes and the loaning of Fraizer Campbell from Manyoo. Sounds about as far removed from us as it could possibly be. 'A decent experienced manager'. Now while I agree with tha description of Brown I would point out that he's primarily a decent and experienced coach and his previous foray into management with Derby ended in failure, taking a side that had been in the play offs into the relegation spaces over half a season. What Hull did was stick by Brown because they believed in what he could achieve rather than his past record, despite the unpromising start to the season. Now does any of that sound familiar? Obviously a few bob would be handy at the moment, but that's the only real difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickG Posted 20 October, 2008 Author Share Posted 20 October, 2008 Phil Brown was there in Dec 2006 -so therefore there when they were 18th in CCC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krissyboy31 Posted 20 October, 2008 Share Posted 20 October, 2008 Phil Brown was there in Dec 2006 -so therefore there when they were 18th in CCC. Yes but in his first half season he turned them round from relegation certs, when he took over from Parkinson, to saving them with a game or so to spare. His style is much more Pearson than Poortvliet and I know who I'd much rather have in charge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
70's Mike Posted 20 October, 2008 Share Posted 20 October, 2008 Phil Brown was there in Dec 2006 -so therefore there when they were 18th in CCC. he trusted in old donkeys like Windass and Barmby , not something we are prepared to do Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickG Posted 20 October, 2008 Author Share Posted 20 October, 2008 great to see it working, funny old game -imagine if -without the benefit of hindsight -we appointed Brown and signed Windass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
70's Mike Posted 20 October, 2008 Share Posted 20 October, 2008 great to see it working, funny old game -imagine if -without the benefit of hindsight -we appointed Brown and signed Windass. we appointed Pearson and had Lucketti. neither would get a look in on our brave new world Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickG Posted 20 October, 2008 Author Share Posted 20 October, 2008 Still not convinced on the NP v JP comparison yet. really liked Lucketti last year, his spirit, diving head first to the ball etc would have made a big difference Saturday.
