MIKE PHELAN 100% FOCUSED AT HULL CITY
08/09/16
The ongoing speculation surrounding Hull City’s search for a new manager had threatened to derail their return to the Premier League.
But, under Mike Phelan’s stewardship, the Tigers claimed six points from their first three games, easing some of those initial fears.
Phelan has staked a substantial claim to the manager’s job at the KCOM Stadium but, as things stand, a full-time appointment is yet to be made.
However, while those concerned continue to deliberate those decisions, Phelan’s representatives have confirmed the former Manchester United assistant will continue to carry out his role at the club.
“To avoid further speculation we wanted to clarify the situation regarding Mike Phelan’s position at the club,” a statement read. “We remain in talks with the club’s current owners but are still wide apart on an agreement.
“As he has done over the last 7 weeks, Mike will remain 100% focused on preparing the team for their next match.”
