Hull manager put on gardening leave (BBC)

I expect Brown is being made a scape goat to give Hull a good kick up the arse.

Bullard will keep them up but sadly I can't see him reaping the same rewards as he did from the great escape.

Brown will be back and will no doubt manage Burnley next season.

No way Hull will stay up.

As Gentleman Jim would say, good riddance!!!

Brown's departure from the club came just a few days after he was forced to apologise on behalf of Hull midfielders Jimmy Bullard and Nicky Barmby. The pair had an altercation during a warm-down session on the Humber Bridge, with the incident witnessed by members of the local Women's Institute. [/i]

Now the moral of this is that you mustn't upset the Women's Institute. Brown's punishment obviously involves tending to the pansies and primulas in the gardens of Women's Institute members as opposed to the pansies and primulas on the Humber Bridge.

He's now got oodles of time to to pop round to his local WI with his Karaoke machine...... maybe they won't notice his "off key" performance unlike his new chairman!

Ian Dowie looks like he's losing his "rabbit in the headlights"  :dft002: stint as the fizzy pop specialist on Sky and is being tipped to take over....good luck with that mate, nothing against you but hope you fail miserably

I would find this far more interesting if he had huge watering cans like Charlie Dimmock.
