Brown sets sights on Europe

[keniget]

Phil Brown believes that Hull City can achieve European qualification in the 'near future'.

The Tigers' debut campaign in England's top flight started promisingly, only for the side to suffer a detrimental drop in form during the second half of the term.

But Brown's side ultimately preserved their Premier League status on the final day of the season as Newcastle United lost 1-0 at Aston Villa.

Brown is now targeting fresh recruits to his team this summer and has revealed his aims for the future at the KC Stadium.

"A European place would be the ultimate aim, either through winning a trophy or by way of standing in the Premier League," said Brown in Singapore's Straits Times.

"How long that would take, I've got my personal ambitions. All I can say is that it will be in the near future."

Brown, who was in Singapore as a guest of the British High Commission, added: "We're looking at proven Premier League players, players with history in the Premier League.

"There is money available and there's a lot of work to be done in attack and defence. Hopefully, the improvements will come in both penalty boxes."

*prays for Hull to get relegated next season*

I read a really good article about his singing antics on the last day of the season - anyone recall something like that? I want to forward it to someone.

More likely a tour guide on a Tour-Bus.

"And on the left, you will see the Eifel Tower. I reckon I could climb that, without ANY ropes. I could. DRIVER STOP THE BUS. You, stop laughing and get off."

Ha

I cant stand the fella, he resembles some of the regrettable aspects of the game. A little success and flies straight to his head. God forbid he ever has to coach a budding talent.

For a coach that has just avoided relegation with form of about 7 or 8 points since January to be suddenly talking about Europe is ............ beyond the pale, the arrogance of the man 😉

It'll make it all worthwhile when he does fall.

Somebody argued on here that had he done the season in the opposite way, started out with 8 points in 21 games then gone on a great run and stayed up he'd be hailed as a hero.

Truth is he would have been sacked at Xmas

Yeah, he is a bit David Brent, isn't he?

 

[Avmenon]

Maybe he's talking about Eurovision.

This reminds me of a joke Jasper Carrott used to tell about Birmingham City who, he said, would get into Europe "if there's a war".
