Brown fires Geovanni warning
Phil Brown has warned Geovanni he is 'not bigger' than Hull City after the Brazilian's reaction to being substituted against Blackburn Rovers.[LNB] Geovanni has been in and out of the Tigers side in recent weeks, but was given a starting role in Sunday's 2-1 home defeat by Blackburn.[LNB]However, the playmaker was withdrawn early in the second half and reacted angrily to being replaced by Brown.[LNB]The City boss was unhappy with Geovanni's show of petulance and insists a repeat from the former Manchester City man will not be tolerated.[LNB]Never again"He will never do that to me again," said Brown. "Why? Because I'm the manager.[LNB]"Geovanni is not bigger than this football club - simple as that.[LNB]"I didn't think he was having a positive impact on the game and when he had a chance to score he didn't even get a shot in. His first touch was worse than mine![LNB]"Our match winner on Thursday in the FA Cup was Nicky Barmby and I thought it was a chance for him to come on and have a chance in the same position.[LNB]"And, as I saw it, he did have a positive impact on the game."[LNB]Brown also brushed off City fans booing the exit of Geovanni, saying: "I'm here to make big decisions. If they don't like it, there's nothing I can do about it."[LNB]
