David Meyler: Make Mike Phelan full-time at Hull

Irish midfielder David Meyler wants caretaker manager Mike Phelan to be given the job on a full-time basis as Hull continue to search for clarity upon their return to the Premier League.

The Tigers defied the odds when they began their campaign with a 2-1 home win over Leicester on the opening day, but off-field dramas still hang heavy over any long-term ambitions. Despite the shot of confidence, Hull have gone another week without adding a player to their threadbare squad, while Phelan’s future remains unclear.

Meyler has plenty of experience in the top-flight and believes Phelan is ready-made to steer them through the uncertainty.
