Hull boss Leonid Slutsky is on the brink of being sacked after another defeat on Saturday. The Tigers appeared to be coasting to victory when they were 2-0 against Bristol City but the Robins stunned the KCOM Stadium crowd as they fought back to win 3-2.
It now seems only a matter of time until Slutsky gets the sack. Hull are 20th in the Championship having only won 4 games out of 19 matches. Some Hull fans have taken to twitter to show who they want as their new manager.
Many are calling for a familiar face in Phil Brown. He guided famously took Hull City to the Premier League for the first time in their history in 2008. He then kept them there the season after but was harshly sacked in Hull’s relegation season from the top flight in 2010. Brown, who now manages League One side Southend United, worked wonders at Hull and some fans want him to do it again.
Hull City fans have had a hard time of it of late under the ownership of the Allams. Many want some positivity as a change to all the negativity that has been around the club since being relegated from the top flight last season.
Here are Hull fans calling for Phil Brown to replace Leonid Slutsky-
I'd have him back in a heartbeat.

Don’t like to see a man lose his job. If Slutsky goes, would you have a former manager back? Phil Brown? Nigel Pearson? #HCAFC

It is hard to call who the Allams will go for if/when Slutsky gets fired. Names like former Southampton, Reading and Scunthorpe manager Nigel Adkins and former Norwich City and Aston Villa boss Paul Lambert have been thrown around. Hull fans have showed who they want to return to East Yorkshire.
