Now what?

Wait til next year or get him straight away?

give him a couple of weeks off at least, no point piling undue pressure on the Hudds game in 2 weeks.

Then bring him in on a consultancy basis for August / September.

Wait until next year without shadow of doubt.

Not released SACKED

Says released on the radio

Get him in now and lets see what he's got.

If you leave him till next year we've given up on this one.

I doubt well do it though - we wont want to pay the extra wages.

Is there a difference?

No I would let him go home! he needs the break away from England and Super League, he needs to be refreshed.

My lawyer told me when I was made redundant SACKED!

Richard Thewlis says SACKED. There is a difference. It was not just an joint decision. He was sacked. www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/rugby-league/18863019

Let him go home for a holiday and he may decide not to return to soggy Britain. THEN WHAT???????????????.

Let him have a couple of weeks rest then bring him in. I understand the risks but I'm prepared to take them.

Ray French has just said on radio Merseyside No Brown til next season.

Get back on the horse.

Ray French just said on try time that brown won't be coming this season

If he had walked or been released he wouldn'yt get a bean. Might he have engineered this with his weird post match comments about playing with one HB and player power?

I've no doubt and posted it yesterday that Browns comments was made in attempt to get the sack, no way he'd quit as he wouldn't get paid.

Yep. Smart move by Brown.

That was the first thing that came in my head.

Shows that he has NO principle then . Anyone with any amount of self respect would have walked particualrly the way our Chairman has supported him over the last four years.

I am gonna call it (just for fun), Brown will go home, get offered a job over there and not come back!

Stirrer!

I think to say this is to impugn the character and morality of Brown. I think only a person with a shady character themselves could think such an act acceptable. I’m not, by the way trying to say that you are in anyway of a shady character, no, I hope you remarks were meant purely in the respect of possible thoughts by others who are.

I'm afraid politics is just part of life, employee's and companies do this kind of thing every day when it suits them to do it. Why would Brown walk away and lose money? there is no guarantee he would be able to get paid work between now and his contract start with Saints so he's just looking after himself.

This post may come back to haunt you

Make a nice line to your signature next year if it comes true

If he did do what Pete suggested then all he was doing was protecting himself from what could well have been a group of players out to get him pushed. I'd say that was wise.

They do so say perception is projection
