Hull City's initial dismissal of manager Nick Barmby still stands after the former midfielder lost his appeal against the club.

Former Hull City manager Nick Barmby has lost his appeal against the Championship club for unfair dismissal.

The 38-year-old was sacked earlier this month following alleged remarks made about the lack of financial support within the club.

The ex-Tigers midfielder confirmed later that day via the League Managers' Association that he intended to appeal the swift decision.

A hearing was scheduled this week and it has emerged that Hull owner Assem Allam will allow the dismissal to stand, despite Barmby's objections.

Allam released a statement, which said: "Having heard Nick Barmby's internal appeal and following a full review of the facts during a detailed and thorough meeting with him, I have decided to uphold the vice chairman [Ehab Allam's] decision to dismiss Nick for the reasons previously stated.

"I would like to assure the club's supporters that this decision has not been taken lightly and all other options were explored before I decided to uphold the dismissal.

"However, as explained in the press statement given by the vice chairman, Nick's behaviour has led to the breakdown of trust and confidence with the board and I therefore felt I had no other option particularly given his senior position at the club. Nick was a fantastic player for the club and a local hero to the club's supporters."

Barmby spent eight years with the club as a player and more recently as manager.
