Hull are looking for a new manager after relieving Phil Brown of his duties and placing him on gardening leave on Monday, and reports claim they have enquired about Grant's availability However, Andronikou says Grant has no plans to leave Portsmouth and will remain at the club until the end of the season at least. "Avram has no plans to leave Portsmouth," Andronikou told Sky Sports News. "He has given me his commitment to stay at the club at least until the end of the season." Earlier, Grant said of the speculation: "I thought about leaving in January but I saw the supporters and said, 'No I can't do it'. "I stayed, I'm fighting for the club and do not have any intention to give up. This club has become very important to me. "I'd ask the new owner for some stability and I'm waiting for the day this club gets some stability." Iain Dowie remains the bookmakers' favourite to take over at Hull, while Steve Coppell, Gary Megson, Terry Venables, Gareth Southgate, Paul Jewell and Mark Hughes have also been mentioned. Current caretaker boss Brian Horton, a former City boss, is another contender but ex-England boss Steve McClaren, despite playing for the Tigers in the 1980s, is no more than a long shot.
