MUFC: Another trophy in the cabinet.

Quote:The long-term future of Hull City's Brazilian forward, Geovanni, has been plunged into doubt after he was the subject of an extraordinary attack by manager Phil Brown following his public display of insubordination.

The former Barcelona and Manchester City player incurred Brown's wrath after responding to his 53rd-minute substitution with a show of head-shaking petulance as he left the field before kicking a water bottle in the dugout

A chorus of boos rang around the KC Stadium aimed at Brown who later put the club's most high-profile player firmly in his place in an astonishing blast.

"He will never do that to me again," Brown said. "I'm the manager. I haven't spoken to him yet. He's getting drugs-tested so hopefully they will find that positive."
"Geovanni is not bigger than this football club - it's as simple as that. I don't think he was having a positive impact on the game."

Brown insisted Geovanni, who was replaced by Nick Barmby, still had a role to play in halting Hull's freefall.

"I'm there to make big decisions and if the fans don't like it then they don't like it there is nothing I can do about that," Brown added.

"Nicky Barmby was our match-winner last Thursday against Sheffield United and it was a chance of him to play in a similar position and as I saw it he had a positive impact."

Hull have now won just one Premier League game in their last 18 attempts. "This is the biggest test in my career as a manager and it probably is for the rest of the players," Brown said. "We have to play above ourselves in the last 11 games."
