Hull City: Owner Assem Allam says club put up for sale
Hull City owner Assem Allam has revealed the club is for sale as he continues to fight for a change of name to Hull Tigers.
He threatened to quit the Premier League club within 24 hours if the plan failed, and the Football Association turned down the proposal in April.
"When I say something, I mean it," the 75-year-old Egyptian told a news conference on Thursday.
He said the club had been for sale 22 hours after the FA's decision.
Allam added that an appeal was being lodged against the name change rejection with the Court of Arbitration for Sport.
"We stated earlier this year that the club would be for sale should our attempt to globally promote Hull Tigers as a brand name and as a playing name be blocked," he said.
"As a consequence of the FA decision on 9 April, I announced on 10 April, within 22 hours, that Hull City is for sale."
 
They've been on the market for 5months. Fair play to him though, he spent some dough in the window.
 
I feel like we're the only club with owners that aren't fools or lunatics these days. Maybe Arsenal too.
 
He clearly only ever had one plan which was tapping into the Asian market with the name Tigers and when that failed, the thought of living in Hull without ever getting minted didn't sound too appealing.

I wonder how many legitimate shirt sales he would make in Bengal?
