Brown Explains Panucci Deal Failure

Phil Brown has reviled that the reason Christian Panucci didn't join Hull is because too many agents were involved in the deal. Brown told the Hull Daily Mail "It was difficult because in the end it was about finances so it would have been done for the wrong reasons,"

"We were ready to push the boat out to make the deal happen, but as far as we were concerned there were too many agents involved feeding for the scraps."

Hull failed to sign a player on the final day of the Window.

Brown added

"People expect a flourish of new signings on a transfer deadline day, but we were happy doing our business in the early part of the month," he added.

"Whether that is sufficient, only time will tell, but I'm very confident that we've got a squad capable of staying in the Premier League."
