Iain Dowie has emerged as the leading contender to replace Phil Brown as
manager of Hull.
The Tigers parted company with Brown on Monday after a run of four

shortlist for the job and the club were probably looking to appoint someone
on a deal until the end of the season.
Former Charlton and Crystal Palace boss Dowie appears to be the most likely
choic
