Brown relishing being in spotlight
Hull boss Phil Brown is excited by the prospect of kicking off the Barclays Premier League season in front of an audience of millions - even though he expects his side to be on the back foot for most of the game.
Brown's side face Chelsea in the first game of the 2009/10 season in Saturday`s early kick-off and, with the Blues expected to challenge hard for the title under new boss Carlo Ancelotti, it is a match which will draw plenty of attention.
And having survived their first top-flight season by the narrowest of margins, Brown is happy to be in the spotlight once again.
"Since we came back on July 1, everyone's mindset has been on Chelsea and Stamford Bridge," he said.
"It's been brought forward for TV so now it's even bigger and of course it's Carlo Ancelotti's first game so it's very exciting.
"It's the best stage in the world and we're on it again. Who knows, we might even be top of the league before everyone else kicks off."
