PHIL Brown wants to retain his position as Swindon Town manager next season, but admits he feels like he wants success more than the players in the changing room.

Brown’s hopes of guiding Town to the League Two play-offs mathematically concluded on Saturday following the club’s 1-0 loss at home to Grimsby Town.

But building success for the future is part of Brown’s plan should he remain as Swindon manager next season.

However, the former Hull City boss admits he will need to reshuffle Town’s pack if he remains at the Energy Check County Ground – adding he wouldn’t work with up to 40 per cent of the players he’s currently dealing with.

Brown said: “I want it all, I want these two games.

“I want next season, I want two years, three years. I want promotion, I want success for the club, success for the owner.

“I want success for the players. That’s the downside to this changing room, I feel like I want it more than them.

“I want them to be successful. I want them to have bigger cars, bigger houses. I want them to have bigger wage packets.

“I said this at Hull City. I said I want a car park full of Bentleys and Mercedes because that means you’re successful, and this club needs success.”

Since joining Town in mid-March, Brown has recorded just one win from eight fixtures.

That sole win came during his opening game in charge away at Cambridge United more than five weeks ago.

A loss at Exeter City followed before a stretch of four draws left Town precariously close to missing out on a play-off spot with four league fixtures remaining.

And Town’s fate was confirmed on Saturday after Lincoln City’s win against Colchester United – coupled with their own recent defeats against Newport County and Grimsby – established a seven-point gap between Brown’s men and seventh-placed Coventry City with two fixtures remaining.

Reflecting on the reasons why Town have failed to build on that win at Cambridge, Brown said the culture and mentality at the club must change.

He said: “The culture has to change, 100 per cent. Whether that’s with me or somebody else, it has to change.

“The mentality of the group has to change.

“You have to understand that whatever you do, every minute of the day you have to be professional.

“I don’t think enough of us do that. I don’t think enough of us sacrifice our lives for the 10 or 15 years during a football career.

“The more people that get in next year, if I’m here, then the better chance we have.

“Have I done enough, the answer is no.

“Seven points from eight games isn’t enough.”
