Hull City manager Phil Brown reacted to his side's unlucky last-gasp defeat to Arsenal at the KC Stadium at the weekend by announcing that, from today, he is to take up gardening.
Brown watched as the Tigers, down to 10 men after George Boateng got himself needlessly sent off just before halftime, battled courageously to stave off the Gunners, and he must have thought they had done so until goalkeeper Boaz Myhill gifted Nicholas Bendtner his goal in the 93rd minute to give Arsenal a 2-1 win.
Today though, Brown told reporters outside the KC:
"I've had enough. Me and Adam Pearson have been talking, and have decided that it's best that I go and do a bit of gardening instead of managing the club."
City owner Pearson said:
"He's on Gardening Leave. He should have got stuck into the roses months ago."
