Brian took over on 22nd following Steve McClaren's departure. Steve left because he found the dual role with his post as manager to Middlesbrough too difficult.

Depending on the condition and completeness of the collection, and the popularity of the auction the week you happen to sell it, it can fetch anywhere between 7 and 27 pounds. Or more ... or less ! Individual coins sometimes sell for a couple of pounds each. But this week a complete special edition bronze version of the collection went on sale. It seems that this was a limited presentation edition made by the Franklin Mint for Esso, in which the coins are made out of solid bronze. This collectors' edition sold for a staggering 135 pounds ! Now that's more like it ! See eBay item 2700263850 Rare

Brian is reportedly doing well and may even be home in a week.

Reportedly, Brian is already making his presence known to the hospital staff !
