Hull City manager Phil Brown insists he does not want veteran striker Dean Windass to leave the club. "I know exactly how Dean Windass thinks and how he feels," Brown told the Hull Daily Mail. "Rightly so, he's not happy.
"In terms of commitment, every time he goes out on the training ground he's a million per cent. If I threw him in tomorrow, he'd be a million per cent.
"He has a part to play off the park and that's a leadership quality you only get in certain players.
"He
has to understand that he still has a role to play. If Dean Windass
wanted to leave this football club, it would be his decision not mine. Brown added.
Chairman Paul Duffen Aslo added "I know Dean well enough to know he wants the best for this club.
"I'm sure he'll find a way of coming to terms with whatever he decides to do next in his career.
"If it comes to a time when Dean decides he wants regular first-team football elsewhere then it's quite possible.
"It's not a shock, not a divorce, it's a normal part of evolution in a footballer's career and from time-to-time they decide to move on."Which seems to suggest his Hull future is still in the balance
