Dowie wants to remain at Tigers but future unclear after draw at Wigan

IAIN DOWIE wants to stay on as Hull manager after seeing their relegation from the Barclays Premier League confirmed yesterday, but he stressed the club’s financial problems mean his future remains a secondary concern.

The Tigers, who were already as good as down due to their vastly inferior goal difference, had their fate sealed at Wigan when Steven Gohouri fired home an acrobatic effort in stoppage time to level the match at 2-2.

Hull are also saddled with debts of around £35m (€40.4m) and face a summer of upheaval as they attempt to keep the club solvent.
