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. 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side in recent weeks, but was given a starting role in Sunday's 2-1 home defeat by Blackburn.However, the playmaker was withdrawn early in the second half and reacted angrily to being replaced by Brown.The City boss was unhappy with Geovanni's show of petulance and insists a repeat from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.Never again"He will never do that to me again," said Brown. "Why? Because I'm the manager."Geovanni is not bigger than this football club - simple as that."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!"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."And, as I saw it, he did have a positive impact on the game."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."
