Hull did so with Grant McCann and looked well set to remain in the division under his leadership.

That was until a change of ownership and it was decided that he would be replaced by Shota Arveladze.

He has his chance to take his revenge today as Hull are the opponents for his first game back in charge of Posh.

Form

Hull have been on the slide in recent weeks and are now in a position where they would actually be in the relegation zone were it not for points deductions for Derby and Reading. Shota Arveladze’s term got off to the perfect start with a win at home to Swansea but that appears to be somewhat of a false dawn. The Georgian has struggled since.

For all the first games Grant McCann could have back in management, it is Hull, the side who sacked him and have quickly found out that the grass is not always greener.

McCann can rub further salt into the wound and end what has been a whirlwind week for the club on a high.
