Haven't been spending much time of football of late due to other matters but did not see that one coming.

Odd that, so close to the end of the season.

That's what my suspicions are. Maybe it's obvious, behind the scenes, that any control he has on the players has evaporated. The Rumble Under The Humber might have been it's nadir.

Strange, not certain what they expected in the second season.

Something in the gossip column today...
the Sun wrote: Hull manager Phil Brown has been ordered not to talk to his teenage midfielder Tom Cairney. Brown has received a letter from the 19-year-old's legal representatives after the club tried to open contract negotiations.
Makes the position fairly untenable if you cannot speak to your players..

I know! What's he going to do? Mime to them on the pitch at half time?

That was my initial thought, as he's been placed on gardening leave (I'll ad a supposedly here, as its still breaking news). Seems odd if you're just straight sacking someone to me.

Its very odd. Hull were good against Arsenal on Saturday and fought like trojans. Didn't look like a side "not playing for their manager".

Never been a huge Brown fan but feel sorry for him here, he certainly didn't deserve that in the heat of battle.

Don't get where the Brown to Burnley stuff comes from though, don't they have a manager already?

To be honest it was "is he going somewhere". Then I seemed to remeber that Brian Laws had only signed til the end of the season or something. Maybe I just made the last bit up, but as I say, the gardening leave left me suspicious that maybe he's been in talks with someone and the board have found out.

It could of course just be that they don't think he's up to the job and have got shut.

Well he can go back to being our token pundit. He used to be at Bolton you know, him and Big Sam.

Maybe this allows 'investigations to continue'

Maybe they have no grounds for dismissal, yet

If theyre getting served with legal papers to prevent him talking to that 19 year old, something serious may have happened

Allegations of bullying?

I mean, if we had an understanding football league table you'd be in the Unibond, at best

But then that's understandable cos you're a yank

So we should have sacked Allardyce at this stage in our second season then? He got a team of shite promoted, and kept a team of shite up. He's not set the world alight, but he's done allright there!
