IS IAIN DOWIE THE RIGHT MANAGER TO SAVE HULL ?

Hull chairman Adam Pearson is right when he says it is a big gamble to bring in Iain Dowie as acting manager-he has some fancy title because Pearson has put Phil Brown on gardening leave-to try and keep the club in the Premier League.He has 9 games left and Hull are three points adrift of safety but have only won 5 of their last 39  league games.Chairmen believe that a change of manager will gee up the players who will be wary of their position under a new boss.And sometimes they study the fixture list.  Roberto Mancini has an easy looking opening few matches when he replaced Mark Hughes at Manchester City.Dowie's opener is at bottom team Portsmouth-hardly Man Utd,Arsenal or Chelsea away!Will Dowie do it? His general track record as manager is less than 50 per cent wins.   That would be enough.This will be a tough ask,though, after Pompey.Hull have Fulham( home),Stoke(away) fellow strugglers Burnley (home),Birmingham(away),Sunderland(home),Wigan( away) and Liverpool (home).One other to be arranged.   Must win games are obviously Portsmouth,Burnley and Wigan.
