Phil Brown is battling for his future at Hull City after their Carling Cup thrashing by Everton.
The Sun says the Tigers, 19th in the Premier League, were three goals down in 24 minutes.
Now Brown could have just four games to save his skin. After Saturday's trip to Liverpool, Hull then face a crucial October as they meet Wigan, Fulham, Portsmouth and Burnley.
Chairman Paul Duffen will expect a good return from those fixtures.
