Brown rules himself out Sunderland running

4th December 2008

Hull boss Phil Brown has ruled himself out of the running for the Sunderland manager's job and reiterated his commitment to the Tigers.

Brown, who celebrates two years in charge at Hull today, was quickly installed as one of the favourites for the Stadium of Light vacancy following the resignation of Roy Keane on Thursday morning.

But 49-year-old Brown, whose reputation has soared this year due to Hull's promotion and superb start in the Barclays Premier League, insists he is happy at the KC Stadium, where he recently signed a new contract until 2011.

"I've got to make sure that the next couple of years in Hull City's history are proud moments for everybody in the area and that has got to be my intention, starting on Saturday."
