Breaking news: Dean Windass to hold Brown showdown talks

Who said nobody breaks news on blogs? I was just tipped off by ITV about an interesting addition to their site. Hull City striker Dean Windass, the man who fired his club into the Premier League at Wembley in May, has used his blog to announce that he will be speaking to manager Phil Brown this week and is considering his options.

"These are strange times for me at the club I love as however much I'm enjoying seeing Hull City play in the Premier League, I'm getting more and more frustrated about not being involved.

"And it looked even bleaker on Sunday when I wasn't even named on the bench for the 2-2 draw with Everton. It was the first time in 18 years that I'd been fit but wasn't involved and it hurt like hell.

"I've got a meeting with manager Phil Brown this week to discuss my future and if he tells me that this is the way it's going to be then I will have to consider my options.

I'm not one of these footballlers who doesn't mind picking up a cheque every week for not playing and I also don't want to train every day and then end up taking the dog for a walk on a Saturday."

Windass is a popular figure among City fans, and they'll be sad to hear that his time at the club may be coming to an end. His honesty is admirable, and the fact that this was posted on his blog shows that he wanted the news to come from the horse's mouth. His sign-off, while talking about Hull's game against Arsenal, is ominous:

"Whether I'll be involved or not is another question."
