Phil 'Phil Brown' Brown will be very disappointed in this

He'll be on tv more now though

Hope he doesn't have to sell his gorgeous pastel-coloured sweaters to make ends meet.

[Cobs]

can't stand the bloke but it's a stupid decision on the back of a defeat to Arsenal

 

 

hope we relegate them on the last day of the season

[Superjay]

Put a bid in now for Tom Cairney. Pearson is trying his best to get costs down and a cool couple of mill might get him. Big future ahead of him.

 

Also with Phil Brown, he'll be alright if the Brian Laws algorithm of management comes into play..... you basically fail upwards in football these days.

He must have done summat if he's been put on gardening leave?

 

Wonder if it was to do with that fight between Bullard and Barmby.

 

Makes no odds either way. They're on their way down.

I reckon that missing 8mil has possibly turned up.

They should have sat him down in front of the fans at half-time and sacked him there and then.

PHIL BROWN LEAVES HULL CITY POST

 

Hull have relieved manager Phil Brown of his duties and placed him on gardening leave with immediate effect.

 

The Tigers lost 2-1 at home to Arsenal on Saturday with Nicklas Bendtner scoring a last-gasp winner.

 

The defeat left the Tigers second from bottom in the standings, three points from safety.

 

A statement on the club's official website said Brian Horton and Steve Parkin would take charge of the first team until further notice.

 

The statement from chairman Adam Pearson revealed the Hull board felt it had to act in a bid to keep the club in the top flight.

 

The statement read: ''Retention of Premier League status is paramount and the board believes that a change in managerial direction is the correct option at this time.

 

"The club will keep supporters completely up to date in respect of any managerial appointment but, in the meantime, Brian Horton and Steve Parkin will prepare the team for our important game at Portsmouth next Saturday."

 

Brown was unhappy with Hull's decision to relieve him of his duties.

 

"I am obviously very disappointed with the club's decision and the fact that I will now not have the opportunity to secure Hull City's status in the Barclays Premier League for a third consecutive season," Brown said in a statement released through the League Managers' Association.

 

"Although I am extremely sad to be leaving Hull City, I am very proud of my achievements during my time as manager, especially having led the team into the top flight of football for the first time in the club's 104-year history and ahead of schedule.

 

"It has been a fantastic experience and I would like to offer my sincere thanks to all of the players, past and present, and also to my staff.

 

"Finally, I would like to thank the fans for their support and wish the club every success in the future."

Ian Dowie!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

how does he keep getting jobs?

 

 

[Walrus]

It has to be his looks.

[ManxRed]

ManxRed hopes that Phil "Phil Brown" Brown doesn't get so upset about this that he chucks himself off the Humber Bridge. There'll be no one around to rescue him.

Exactly - he took 'Ull to unprecedented heights, then kept them in the Prem and they're only 3 points from safety now.
