CountryRoyal Not sure if Mourinho could really be deemed that successful of a return...
He won a league and cup, so there was some success there.
I think most people would accept another league title from Brian...

Brendon Mackenzie Returning successes off the top of my head, obviously there will be a lot more.
Jose
Howe
Pulis
Coppell at palace
Pearson
Taylor at Watford
Truth is not many managers go back so this never go back shit is mainly sky sports bollox to be fair.

Terry Burton is a good choice as assistant/coach or whatever his title will be. McD and him played together at Arsenal and have been friendly ever since - therefore, McD trusts him to the hilt. Also Burton won't suffer fools gladly and won't take any shite from any divas

RoyalRuss86 I won't be reading through all the comments but I sincerely hope that someone has pointed out the obvious!
On Sunday we need to play "Return of the Mack" whilst Brian walks out to greet the fans.
Otherwise I will be very, very dissapointed in all involved in the club.

Coppelled_Streets For every Eddie Howe there's a Kevin Keegan. More often than not it doesn't work out, but we can only hope for the best. Personally I feel he 'could' take us up, but I don't believe he'd keep us there, and these Thai's wouldn't mess around, and the first sign of struggle he'd be off again.

Longhorn1970 I love the heart warming optimism filling the room but we are talking about owners who know zilch about football ...

Oilroyal I'm not sure where the claim of Gunter objecting to Brian's appointment came from but it's clearly BS.
Looking at Terry Burtons CV Gunter is listed as a successful project of Burton's.
Interesting cv.

Maguire IMHO football fans and perhaps the wider football world place too much importance on the role of a manager and cling too rigidly to the concept that a manager is either "good" or "bad".

Maguire Managers across the board will fail at some point or other. You have rare exceptions of course like Wenger but even Ferguson was famously nearing the chop at one point in his tenure.
IMHO football fans and perhaps the wider football world place too much importance on the role of a manager and cling too rigidly to the concept that a manager is either "good" or "bad". Of course it's an important cog in the machine but it's not the only one and success in one job does not mean success in another.
Summary - debating whether returning managers are successful or not is pointless. They're no more or less successful than managers who go to other clubs. The fact Brian has worked here before isn't going to materially affect the performance of our latest squad of deadbeats for the rest of the season.
