Warnock eager to replace Bruce at Hull

Neil Warnock is targeting a fast return to management saying he would take charge of Hull tomorrow if given the opportunity.

Hull have been managerless since Steve Bruce, the man who led the club to the Premier League, handed in his resignation almost three weeks ago.

The 67-year-old has been out of work since leaving Rotherham United at the end of last season having finished one place and nine points off the Championship relegation zone.

Warnock was in charge of Sheffield United when they were relegated from the Premier League in 2007 but helped Queens Park Rangers survive the drop in 2010.

“I would manage Hull tomorrow,” he said.

“They have had a few problems with injuries but I would guess they have someone already lined up because you can’t be leaving it much longer.

“I’ll go somewhere this season. They don’t come knocking until they are struggling. I usually get the job when others get the sack.”

Hull, who have only skeleton squad available due to a number of lengthy injuries, will be led by Mike Phelan for the visit of Premier League champions Leicester City on Saturday.
