As for Ryan's post, well, he is indeed due credit for getting Hull into the Premiership (and staying there) but the board probably felt that they were *doomed* unless they made a change - any change - to try and arrest a vertiginous slump, a mad gamble (esp considering they chose Dowie) that probably won't work, but had to be taken anyway, because they know just how double-fucked Hull's finances are (no money Ryan? How the fuck do you think they got Bullard in?) and that relegation may be the end of Hull
