PHIL Brown has emerged as the latest man on Coventry City's shortlist for the vacant manager's job.
The former Hull City boss is currently out of work since being sacked by Preston North End last season and is understood to have been interviewed by the Sky Blues yesterday as the search for Andy Thorn's replacement gathers pace.
City chiefs Tim Fisher and development director Steve Waggott are believed to have held a marathon session in London where they ran the rule over candidates, including caretaker Richard Shaw, and the club may be keen to make an announcement before supporters get the chance to grill the pair at tomorrow's planned fans' forum at the Standard Triumph Club.
Former Academy director Richard Money is also definitely on the shortlist while other names being linked with the job include former Watford manager Sean Dyche, failed Ipswich and QPR boss Jim Magilton and ex-Leeds boss Kevin Blackwell.
One man who some fans would like to see back at the club after his tenure was cut short is Eric Black, currently assistant to former City No.2 Steve Kean at Blackburn Rovers.
The Telegraph understands that the 48-year-old coach, who still lives in Leamington, was approached about coming back to the club after Aidy Boothroyd was sacked but turned it down at the time when he was still assisting Steve Bruce at Sunderland.
Brown, meanwhile, takes credit for being the first man to have got Hull promoted to the top flight in the club's 104-year history by winning the Championship play-offs in 2008. More recently, however, he couldn't save Preston from the drop when he took over from Darren Ferguson in January 2011 and was sacked last December after failing to inspire a revival in League One.
