Brown's survival experience key for Hull

Brown was assistant to Sam Allardyce when the Trotters were promoted to the Premier League through the play-offs and saw the club establish themselves among the elite.
He said: "I believe that survival is achievable. I am planning meticulously for survival in the Premier League and I have a ready-made plan from my time at Bolton Wanderers. That is the model that we will copy."
He added: "Bolton went up in 2001 with Blackburn and Fulham and all three are still there.
"Sam Allardyce is coming to our after-match party and I will speak to him an awful lot next season."
Brown confirmed that Dean Windass will be given a chance of another crack at the top flight after hitting the winner with an exquisite volley and also admitted that his strike partner Fraizer Campbell remains "top of his shopping list".
Campbell created the winning goal with a great run and cross and after a successful season on loan from Manchester United will be a sought-after commodity this summer.
Brown said: "I don't know if Fraizer will stay, that is for the manager of the European Champions to decide.
"It is obvious that he is a talent and we want to keep him and I would have thought that we had the money to buy him now but that is not my decision.
"He is top of my shopping list and I have promised the players who got us into the Premier League that they will be given their chance. We have a good nucleus but I will add to the squad with players who will improve us on the field and off the field."
