Continuity under Phelan is key – Davies

Mike Phelan's 18-month-long association with Hull City has been key to his success as caretaker manager, according to Curtis Davies.

Hull City defender Curtis Davies has backed Mike Phelan to become the club's manager on a permanent basis and stressed the importance of stability at the club.

Despite having just 13 fit senior players in his squad at the start of the season, caretaker Hull manager Phelan has guided the Tigers to two wins out of three Premier League fixtures and a victory in the EFL Cup.

Hull strengthened their squad with six new players before the transfer window closed, but Phelan's future at the club remains uncertain, with prospective new owners yet to decide on a permanent replacement for Steve Bruce - who left the club in pre-season.
