Brown to manage team

To complete the team we asked you to select a manager and gave you a selection of fifteen Championship managers. You overlooked both managers who went up to the Premier League via automatic promotion and instead you selected Phil Brown who took his Hull side to Wembley and won the play offs.

Hull went on a run in the second half of the season that took them into the play offs and for a short time into the top two. They came from nowhere with a run of seven wins in nine games that started with the 2-0 win against the Clarets at the beginning of March.

Brown won it comfortably with 40.8% of the vote which was double that of second place Gary Johnson whose Bristol City lost the play off final. He took 18.6% of the vote and it was a third play off manager Neil Warnock who finished third in this vote with 13.4% of the vote.

The two promotion winning managers, Tony Mowbray and Tony Pulis came in the next two places, and Mick McCarthy proved as popular with the voters as he is with the Wolves fans, he ended the poll in bottom place.

The final team is: Adriano Basso (Bristol City), Bradley Orr (Bristol City), Ryan Shawcross (Stoke), Danny Shittu (Watford), Paul Robinson (West Brom), Liam Lawrence (Stoke), Brian Howard (Barnsley), Jonathan Greening (West Brom), Joe Ledley (Cardiff), Kevin Phillips (West Brom), Sylvan Ebanks-Blake (Plymouth & Wolves). Manager: Phil Brown (Hull).
