Mike Phelan insists he has control of football matters at Hull City.
Fans questioned his level of influence after he took the title of head coach.
But he said: “I got everything I wanted as far as doing the job.
“I'm head coach, and for me that involves being in charge of all football issues, and that's important. Any manager wants to know his job description, and that's what I needed to be clear.
“I'm in charge of all football matters, the players, the recruitment. It's a nice feeling to know what my position is in terms of what I can do and what backing I'll get."
