This from the Hull BBC page from a few weeks back - no parallel whatsoever to Davey's appointment

<table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" width="629" border="0"><tbody><tr><td colspan="3"><div class="mxb"><div class="sh">Hull name Brown as caretaker boss </div></div></td></tr><tr><td style="width: 416px" valign="top"><font size="2"><table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" width="203" align="right" border="0"><tbody><tr><td><div> <div class="cap">Brown has been placed at the helm at Hull</div></div></td></tr></tbody></table>Hull have confirmed Phil Brown as their caretaker manager following Phil Parkinson's departure from the club.

Parkinson was sacked as boss on Monday after five months in charge, prompting 47-year-old Brown's promotion. </p>

And even though he was sacked at Derby after seven months, City say he will be considered for the permanent job. </p>

Colin Murphy, who was Parkinson's assistant, has now reverted to his previous role with the club's centre of excellence and will also assist Brown. </p>

&quot;Phil will be part of the recruitment and assessment process in finding a new manager,&quot; read a club statement. </p>

&quot;Phil will be in charge for our visit to Plymouth Argyle on Saturday, and for the length of time required to undergo the full recruitment process. </p>

&quot;That procedure is now under way.&quot; </p>

</div></div><div class="mva"><div class="mva">Phil Brown</div></div></td></tr></tbody></table></p>

With Hull currently five points adrift of safety in the Championship, Brown is aware that he is in the perfect position to underline his credentials as Parkinson's permanent successor. </p>

Earlier in the week, Brown, who joined the club as first-team coach in October, said: &quot;I do want to return to management but unfortunately not in these circumstances.&quot; </p>

However, he added: &quot;The objective is to stay in the Championship and we've got a 20-game mini-series now to get points on the board. Hopefully the club will stay in this division. </p>

&quot;Of course I remain open-minded (about taking the role on permanently). It would be an opportunity for any man in or out of football to be able to come to a great football club. </p>

&quot;There's no doubt about it, from what I've seen of this football club so far, the set-up is fantastic and geared towards certainly Championship football, if not higher.&quot; </p>

Brown to be made permanent later today

Still no prallel, why amI posting this rubbish?</p>

 

RE: This from the Hull BBC page from a few weeks back - Swap Brown for Davey

Brown had been first team coach at Bolton for years and had a short spell at Derby. Vastly more experienced than SD

 

RE: Brown to be made permanent later today

He has managed derby and served under Sam Allardyce at Bolton.

He is a bigger manager than the one we have appointed

 

Apart from my completely ***** analogy ...

... not bad though?

 

RE: Apart from my completely ***** analogy ...

They probably will think like that, but compared to the appointment weve made its like setting on Jose Morihno.
