Quote: Deano G "When Brown arrives his main problem is going to be sorting out the attitude issues amongst your players - it's a talented squad but one which only seems to play well when it wants to.
Standards have slipped at Saints and I think many of your current squad are going to find life under Brown very difficult. I would expect a clear out and your players to be under a lot more pressure than they have been for the last couple of seasons. It pains me to say it but he is right man for the job.'"
Can't argue with that really.
He's going to have 2013 to look at the squad and then get rid of the dead-wood. Ade Gardner, Michael Shenton, Josh Perry, Tony Puletua, Anthony Laffranchi and Mark Flanagan are the ones who will need to impress him as they are in the last year of their contracts.
