Incoming Hull City chairman Adam Pearson has given under-fire boss Phil Brown an advanced vote of confidence and told him he will still be in charge for this weekend's clash against Stoke.
Tigers’ skipper
Nick Barmby welcomes the news that Hull are to stick with Brown, for now, and has also come out in support of Brown, insisting the players believe he’s still the best man for the job.
"You have to remember that Phil Brown took this club into orbit," said Barmby.
"Now it is up to us to make sure that he stays in a job. He is a good manager. But it is a results business and Phil knows that more than anyone.
"He has been in the game a long time. He has broad shoulders, but it is up to us to get the results to keep him here. What he has done for this club is amazing - the first manager to get us in the top flight after 104 years, so we certainly want him to stay."
Luck is certainly not on Hull or Brown’s side at the moment, and the
Geovanni disallowed goal,
Burnley’s penalty and the Brazilian’s ultimate sending off proved costly.
Bamrby added: "They were massive decisions. For the penalty,
Mears tried to hit it with his right, but caught it with his left and that meant he was off-balance. I don't know who gave it, the linesman or the referee.
"But it was a decision that left us very frustrated and disappointed. It turned the game in their favour. We got going in the second half and, in spells, we played the best we have for a while. And the Geovanni free kick is something we all want to be in a ground to see.
"It was a fantastic free kick and everyone was cheering. But then the referee blows and I don't know what it was for. For us, it was another incredible decision. Then they get the second goal and you know it's not your day."
