Brown defends Jungle jaunt
Brown: it's not you...yetHull City manager Phil Brown today faced down criticism of his decison to appear on ITV's prime time hit "I'm A Celebrity, Get Me Out of Here!"
With the Tigers facing a battle to survive their second season in the Premier League, fans were astonished to see Mr Brown's name in the list of contestants for the latest series.
Speaking exclusively to Spraying the Rays, Brown said couldn't see a problem.
"These opportunities don't come round that often, and the gaffer told me I deserved a break, so why not? He said the club could look after itself for a week or two, and what with the gap in fixtures for internationals at the moment it seemed a good time to do it."
It is thought that his experience in dealing with wild animals (Jimmy Bullard) and dangerous environments (Anlaby Road on a Saturday night) will have prepared Brown well for the tasks facing him in the Australian jungle.
A spokesman for "I'm A Celebrity" told Spraying the Rays; "Yes we were somewhat surprised he said yes. When it was first suggested a week or two ago it looked as though he might might have a bit of time on his hands coming up."
It was also revealed that Brown was not first choice for the show; "To be honest, we had really wanted Steve McClaren but he told us he had "something big" coming up and needed to learn to speak English again, so he couldn't do it."
