Brown gets the ax at Hull City

Soccer Betting Lines

03/15/2010 - Hull, England (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Phil Brown has been relieved of his managerial duties with immediate effect.

The Tigers have confirmed that Brown's three-and-a-half year reign has been ended and that assistants Brian Horton and Steve Parkin have been placed in charge of first-team duties.

Hull have won just five of their 29 Premier League games this season and were almost relegated from the top-flight last term following a slump during the second half of the campaign.

Saturday's last-gasp 2-1 defeat at home to Arsenal left them languishing down in 19th place in the table and three points adrift of safety.

"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," said chairman Adam Pearson in a club statement.

"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 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."
