Hull chairman Pearson has lengthy manager wanted list
Hull City chairman Adam Pearson is tightlipped over their plans for a new manager.
Former Crystal Palace, Charlton and QPR boss Iain Dowie appears to have emerged as the front-runner to succeed Phil Brown, who was sacked by the Barclays Premier League strugglers on Monday.
Pearson is hoping to have a new man in charge before Saturday's trip to relegation rivals Portsmouth and he says the search is moving forward quickly.
Pearson told the club's website, hullcityafc.net: "We've got a pretty tight list and we're working through it.
"We're working through this exercise as quickly as we can, but obviously we want to explore every possibility.
"I think all the names mentioned are pretty reasonable. There are a few who the press haven't picked up on yet that we're talking to and it's always nice to have a couple of secret ones tucked away.
"I think we'll be able to bring that to the fore over the next couple of days."
