[LNB]In limbo: Former Hull City manager Phil Brown [LNB]Phil Brown has agreed an £800,000 compensation deal with Hull City - ending all hope of him making a shock return as manager. [LNB]Brown was placed on gardening leave in March as he struggled to keep the Tigers in the Premier League. [LNB]But he was still on full pay, including bonuses, while chairman Adam Pearson even admitted he could make a return to the club as boss in the summer. [LNB]But the Tigers have decided to reach a financial settlement with Brown despite struggling with debts of more than £36m.[LNB]Brown earned £1.4m-a-season and still had just over 12 months of his contract to run at the KC Stadium. [LNB]He rejected the club's initial offer of £500,000 but has now accepted a compromise figure in return for him severing all ties with the relegated club. [LNB]Meanwhile director Martin Walker has stepped down from the board as part of the club's ongoing restructuring. [LNB]It follows changes earlier this month which saw owner Russell Bartlett become chairman, with Pearson becoming head of football operations.
