JAN Molby was sat in the stands at Boothferry Park on Saturday as he waits in the wings before officially being named as Hull City's new manager.
The former Liverpool star resigned as manager of Kidderminster Harriers last week and watched the Tigers' 2-1 home defeat against Darlington with Hull chairman Adam Pearson admitting negotiations are set to commence.
"It's probably unlikely that Molby will take charge before next Saturday's game against Luton," he revealed.
"I have met him and we'll sit down and talk business next week regarding a contract. He is certainly up there as the favourite now that he has resigned and it could happen, but it is more likely to be later on," said Pearson.
