Mike Phelan says he has been offered the manager's job at Hull City.

The 53-year-old, caretaker boss since Steve Bruce's departure in July, was named Premier League manager of the month for August.

But, with a takeover of the club pending, Phelan's long-term future at the club has been uncertain.

"It's a case now of sifting through the offer and getting down to what hopefully will be further discussions," he told BBC Radio Humberside.

The body of a man's been pulled from the water at Princes Quay. 

Search teams had been looking for the man who's thought to have gone into the water yesterday evening.

Its not know at this stage who the man is or why he was in the water but Humberside Police say they are continuing their investigations.
