Yeah bit strange, should have got rid of him at christmas or at the end of the season. No one will be able to keep them up with only a few games remaining.
posted by Sam Irish - Monday 15th March 2010, 2:48 PM i though pearson would sack him as soon as he came in but its almost as if every time he was preparing to do so Brown would pull a result out of the bag. It has to be said that he did a good job at Hull, odious though he is. Cant see them getting anyone good to replace him but surely they must have someone line dup else why get rid of him. Only person i can think of off hand is Megson.
posted by fortressfulham - Monday 15th March 2010, 3:16 PM Good riddance! I can't stand the bloke. I almost hope Hull stay up now.. Er sorry, a self inflicted uppercut has been delivered and I'm ok now. I still hope they go down. :)
posted by Fred - Monday 15th March 2010, 8:54 PM I agree Fred i dislike the bloke but still seems the wrong move for Hull. As for those being linked today:
talk of Mark Hughes seems far fetched, he can land a much bigger job than Hull - if he keep them up it wont improve his reputation that much and if they go down it might very well damage it
Terry Venables - maybe if the money was tempting, great coach but i wouldnt trust venables with my money, not that i have any at the moment :(
Ian Dowie - He'd definitly take it, he'd definitly get them relegated, and he'd definitly getted sacked some point next season for failing to get decent results in the Coca Cola. I think he might well get the job
I'd still give Megson a call if i were Hull, not a bad manager and i think he has what it takes to keep them up
If Nicky Barmby was a coach he'd be odds on to get the job, if he stays in the game after hanging up his boots he'll manage Hull in the future, ive met him a couple of times and he's got the same sort of drive as Cookie had

posted by james williams - Tuesday 16th March 2010, 2:26 PM i think Southgates a pretty good shout, havent seen him linked with it but has to be a better option than Dowie.
Cant see Shearer taking it, he can afford to wait for something bigger and better.
i think everyones been expecting Brown to go, surprised it diidnt happen sooner. He's never got past that episode at half time against Man City.

posted by Eric Miller - Tuesday 16th March 2010, 6:23 PM Yea i heard Jewell mentioned as a candidate today and it wouldnt be a bad appointment, he did a good job at wigan even if Derby was a bit of a catastrophy.
