Hull City caretaker boss Mike Phelan was delighted with their 2-0 win at Swansea City.

Phelan expects the Hull board to make the right decision over the appointment of a full-time Tigers manager.

"I am sure the people in charge will do the right thing," said Phelan after Hull made it six points from six.

"I think everyone knows we have decisions to make on my future, the future of the staff and the ownership.

"Hopefully those decisions will be taken soon. It could be a busy time."

The travelling Hull fans were in no doubt that they want Phelan, the former Manchester United assistant manager, to succeed Bruce on a full-time basis.

As they secured their first top-flight away victory since winning at Crystal Palace in April 2015, the fans sang "we want Phelan in".

"It was nice to hear them singing that," said Phelan. "It's better than hearing them singing 'we want Phelan out'.

"I am sure if I do stay I will get the white handkerchiefs at some stage this season.

"But all I can do is win football matches and at this moment in time that's what we are doing.

"Credit to the players, they stuck to their tasks, got the result, and I'm delighted for everyone.

"You have to have belief in your players and your football club, although my experience tells me not to get too carried away.

"A lot has gone on but I haven't had to shield the players from anything. They have just done a great job."
