About this listen

Phil Brown sits down with Colin to revisit one of the most challenging chapters in Derby County’s recent history — the 2005–06 season, a year defined by upheaval, hard decisions and the relentless demands of Championship football. He reflects on stepping into the job at a moment when the club was fragile, the squad was shifting, and stability felt just out of reach.

Phil talks openly about the realities of that period: the pressure of following a successful predecessor, the difficulty of reshaping a team on the fly, and the moments that tested his resolve as a young manager finding his way. He also shares the lessons he carried forward, the people who helped shape his career, and the pride he still feels in having taken on a role that mattered deeply to him.

A thoughtful, honest conversation with a manager who faced Derby at its most uncertain — and learned more from that season than any other in his career.
