You have to feel sorry for Cesc Fabregas. Falsely accused of spitting at Hull's assistant
manager, Brian Horton, after the two clubs met in the FA Cup almost exactly a year ago - an
incident that initially 'happened' on the touchline before being hastily moved to the tunnel when
Phil Brown realised how easily the Sky cameras would expose his lies he has been forced out every
time the two have clashed since.
A large group gathered Sunday evening on the freshly mowed and lined Glendale pitch for the 1st
Annual Alumni game, organized by 2004 graduate Maddy Senkowski. With representation from the class
of 1992 to 2010, the game pulled a group that put a smile on Coach Jeff Rogers face as he prepares
to begin his 21st year at Glendale.
Hull City fired head coach Phil Brown on Monday, leaving assistant coaches Brian Horton and
Steve Parkin in charge of the club until a permanent replacement could be secured.
Jozy Altidore's squad currently sits in 19th place in the Premier League and is in real danger
of being relegated as the Tigers sit what amounts to four points away from the drop zone due to a
league-worst goal difference.
In what has to be considered a shock, Hull City have fired manager Phil Brown with nine games
left in the season. Hull are currently second from bottom in the Premier League, three points from
safety.
Hull chairman Adam Pearson said in the statement that:
"Hull City AFC confirms that Phil Brown has been relieved of his managerial duties at the club
and has been placed on gardening leave with immediate effect.

Manchester City drew 0-0 against Birmingham City at Eastlands yesterday afternoon. It wasn't the
greatest result or performance that they will manage this season, but they managed a point and kept
a third successive clean sheet. Such is the burden of expectation brought about by the amount of
money lavished on the squad over the last couple of years or so, though, that the team was booed
from the pitch.
