Phil Brown Sacked By Hull 
http://www.mirrorfootball.co.uk/new...today-by-Hull-City-reports-article356025.html
Phil Brown has been sacked by Hull City.
The controversial boss was axed after the club were embarrassed by a fight between Jimmy Bullard and Nicky Barmby which took place in a local park, in front of members of the local Women's Institute.
But insiders say this was not the reason for his dismissal, with chairman Adam Pearson left dismayed by last week's dismal showing at Everton.
Former Bolton and Hartlepool player Brown has been Hull boss since January 2007, leading them to the promised land of the Premier League.
Yet he has also inspired ridicule in recent months for his on-pitch team talk at Manchester City and his impromptu karaoke session after Hull stayed up on the final day of last season.
The Tigers are currently second bottom of the Premier League, three points off safety.
A statement from Hull chairman Adam Pearson read:
"Hull City AFC confirms that Phil Brown has been relieved of his managerial duties at the club and has been placed on gardening leave with immediate effect. Brian Horton and Steve Parkin will take charge of first-team duties until further notice.
"We would like to place on record our sincere thanks to Phil for the major success achieved during a period of four seasons in charge at the club and wish him every success for the future. Promotion to the Premier League in 2008 and retention of our status on the last day of the 2009 season are unique events in the history of Hull City AFC and both were achieved under Phil's stewardship during a period which will never be forgotten by all connected with the club.
"However, 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."
