Former Hull striker Dean Windass believes the Tigers need to dispense with the services of boss Phil Brown if they wish to retain their Premiership status. "I think sometimes you need a fresh change," said Windass to talkSPORT Magazine.

"Phil's done a fantastic job since he's been there but I think it's time that he should get moved on and bring somebody else in."

Hull are currently in the final relegation spot in the Premier League and Windass believes it could be a tough season for the KC Stadium outfit.

"It's going to be difficult. They're not getting results and they're struggling to score goals at the moment. They need a 10-15 goal-a-year striker to get away from the bottom of the table.

"They've got a little mini league at the moment and it's important they win games against teams in and around their league."
