Swindon have sacked manager Phil Brown who was doing a good job keeping them mid table without a budget....

Swindon are a selling club but will never move on all the time Lee Power is owner and will not invest.

Sell for good money and invest peanuts or loans not a good business model.

Lower league management is quite some job isn't it.
They must only do it for the love of football as it's almost impossible at clubs like Swindon and there are many others.
I have no sympathy for managers of PL and most championship clubs and plenty of admiration for managers that do well with smaller low budget clubs, but the stress involved at lower league level must be huge.
Always felt so sorry for Russell Slade a typical example of a good guy doing his very best.

Steve Cotterell and Paul Ince seem to be sniffing around every lower league job that is going.

Would they not be better served spending some on the team to strengthen it?

Gus Poyet is another rumour.

Apparently the locals have been getting more fed up with Phil Brown by the week and will be glad to see the back of him.
But getting fired after a win is unusual, unless his replacement is all lined up of course. That couldn't happen though could it?

(Btw, I made up the Poyet rumour)

Is it just me or has there been rather less dust-biting this year? At this stage last year, we'd lost at least half a dozen - is Brown the second or third? We've lost none in the PL
