Hull City Search For A Hero

by Paul Bestall on March 15, 2010 · 6 comments

In a strange yet understandable move, Hull City Chairman Adam Pearson has removed Phil Brown from his position as manager at the struggling side. It strikes me as strange as Brown has been moved on after an impressive, if limited, performance against Arsenal on Saturday.

This is the second in a series of relegation assessments.  For a similar look at Bolton Wanderers.  Check here.
