Brown - Hull deserved to stay up

Colonel Ronan · May 25, 2009

Manager Phil Brown insisted Hull retained their Premier League status on merit, despite their survival coming as a result of defeats for their rivals.

Newcastle's loss at Aston Villa and Middlesbrough's defeat by West Ham meant Hull's 1-0 reverse at home to Manchester United was irrelevant.

Brown said: "We absolutely deserved to stay up and have a second year in the Premier League.

"We got more points than the bottom three clubs - it is a simple as that."

Hull knew they had their fate in their own hands going into the match with United but they were unable to be masters of it by securing a victory that would have guaranteed their safety.

Fortunately for the Tigers, who went down to a superb goal from United youngster Darron Gibson, Newcastle and Middlesbrough could not take advantage.
