Brown to stay with City

Hull City manager Phil Brown has pledged his future to the Tigers by agreeing a new 12-month rolling contract with the Championship club.
Brown had been linked with a coaching role at Newcastle United, but has opted to remain at the KC Stadium, after guiding City away from the threat of relegation this season.
Chairman Adam Pearson told the Hull Daily Mail: "It's great news for us. I'm delighted.
"This is the only contract I ever give anyone. No one manager has ever had longer than that.
"It gives the people plenty of security and I've had managers before on six and 12-month notice periods.
"You don't get a 12-month contract in normal life. People will say football is a high-pressure environment, but you have to get the balance right between security and performance."
