Hull City takeover gets new bidders

The glory days of the FA Cup final and Premier League football seem a long time ago for HUll City fans, as their team struggle in the bottom half of the Championship.

Asseem Allam and his family bought the club in 2010 and looked to invest, but after a failed bid to rename the club which turned the fans firmly against them, they put them up for sale in 2014.

The 'Tigers' have had other bids from interested parties in the years since, but all have fallen through up to this point.

Now, 'Sky Sports' claim that three parties are in negotiations with the businessman and his family to buy the club and try to resurect their fortunes, as they lie just a place above the relegation zone in the Championship.
