Hull City Chairman Resigns

Paul Duffen has resigned as Chairman of Hull City. Taking total responsibility for the results in 2009. Not many Chairmen around the country would do the honourable thin and fall on his sword.

did anyone follow the Hull/Stoke game on the guardian on sunday?

 

they mentioned that an observer journo looked into the story from a couple of months ago that the team talked a jumper down from a suspension bridge when on a team building walk and could find no official record of it. he spoke to the players who denied it happened and when he confronted phil brown he got a very sheepish 'no comment'. how cheeky is that?

This was the Hull Daily Mail's report at the time.

jesus :confused:

 

i've got a lot of respect for Hull, the way they hit rock bottom and came bouncing back up, and i quite liked phil brown just because he's such a freak of nature, but this is going much too far.

 

a bridge too far, even.
