Vice-chairman Allam: Hull needed fresh approach

While describing the difficulty in sacking Mike Phelan, Hull City vice-chairman Ehab Allam insisted a fresh approach was needed as he believes the Premier League cellar-dwellers are good enough to avoid relegation.

Hull parted ways with Phelan on Tuesday, with the club bottom of the table and six points adrift of safety following their 3-1 defeat at West Brom.

Phelan's departure ended his brief 83-day reign in charge as head coach, having only been appointed on a permanent basis in October.

There has been backlash toward Allam and Co. following Phelan's exit, with fans feeling in the dark and disenchanted amid a lack of investment.
