Board meeting at Hull over future of boss Walter

BBC Radio Humberside reports that the Hull City have held a board meeting this morning to discuss the future of boss Tim Walter.

The Tigers slipped to a 2-0 defeat by Sheffield Wednesday on Tuesday night and are now winless in nine matches.

The German took over from Liam Rosenior in May but has won just three of his 17 league games in charge.

Speaking before the reverse to the Owls, owner Acun Ilicali had told the station that he would not sack Walter regardless of the result and asked for patience.

However, the Tigers were booed off by the home fans that remained at the MKM Stadium at full-time and they have won only one of their nine games in front of their own supporters this season.
