    Wonder who's looking after the team for Saturday's game? We need to win that to keep the momentum up.

    Tony Pennock and Baz Richardson were here before Grant along with a lot of the other staff, you would imagine they would stay. Think this might be the 5th manager Pennock has worked under

    Sacking any manager is always the easy part mate.

    ‘He took us down’ ...you see.


    Allam’s GONE.

    I wasn’t a huge fan of McCann. But performances of late improved, so I thought he should have been kept on until the end of the season. There is a real risk giving the job to Shota. He hasn’t managed in England before. TWT as always.

    Championship side Hull City have sacked manager Grant McCann, less than a week after they were taken over by the Turkey-based Acun Medya Group.

    McCann, 41, was in his third season in charge of the Tigers, having steered the club back to the Championship last term following relegation.


    He departs the Tigers despite back-to-back wins which moved the club 10 points clear of the relegation zone.

    "These matters are never easy," chairman and owner Acun Ilicali said.

    "During the process, Grant has always remained professional and fully focused on the team, and will forever be a friend of the Tigers. I'm sure Grant will be successful in whatever his next challenge is.

    "However, now is the time for change and for me to start to build, in what I believe will be an incredibly exciting time for the club."

    In addition to McCann's departure, assistant boss Cliff Byrne has also left the Tigers, as the Acun Medya Group prepares to bring in a new coaching set-up.

    McCann's first season at Hull seemed to unravel following the January sales of Jarrod Bowen and Kamil Grosicki, with the club plummeting down from mid-table with a second part of the season slump into League One.

    The Northern Irishman restored their second-tier status in leading Hull to the League One title the following year, and had steadied the side enough so far this term, including beating promotion contenders Blackburn and Bournemouth in his last two games in charge.

    "I have a philosophy and a belief that our project should start as we mean to carry on," Ilicali added. "And that involves having my team in place.

    "I understand the timing may look odd, after two good wins, but I wouldn't be fair or honest if I merely waited for a defeat to change manager.

    "That benefits nobody. I will continue to be transparent with you, our fans. Our new head coach will be announced very shortly."

    Hull's next Championship fixture is at home against Swansea City on Saturday.

    Yeah, true and nice sentiment. Loads of vacant taxi driver posts available. Taxi for Terry.

    Re Acuns statement absolutely spot on. Acun has a plan and again "2 swallows dont make a summer". And one of those wins could have been a hiding. He is sticking to the plan, changing your mind after a couple of wins would be the wrong decision. Lets move on and forward.

    If scunny lose tonight, I wonder if they'll be back in employment tomorrow.
    Keith Hill is hardly tearing it up.

    I wouldn't touch Scunny with a bargepole if I were Grant McCann. They are heading for the knackers yard.

    I doubt he's going back there - unless he fancies non-league football next season.

    He'll get a top end league 1 club or struggling championship club I reckon. You could put Klopp in at Scunny and they'll still go down. Just don't have the players or money to spend to prevent it
