Fat man takes over at Hull City

Molby, who site columnist Patrick Hill wrongly claimed was the fattest manager in football (we can reveal he is in fact third, behind Big Fat Joe Kinnear and Barry Fry), takes charge of the mudrats after quitting higher placed Kidderminster Harriers.

The `big club` currently languish eleventh in the third division, despite spending around £1million on new players in the pre-season.

Mudrats chairman Adam Pearson said he was delighted to have such a manager in place.

One pie maker from the North Bank however didn't say this, "We expect to increase our pie sales by around 400%, we've already designed special Danish pies which we hope to flog to the new manager.

"We have produced an initial batch of 50, to see if he likes them."
