Allam: Offers for Hull City haven't been right

Hull City owner, Assem Allam, says he would sell the club for as little as £2 million, but only if the offer was right for the club.

Speaking to ITV News, the Egyptian born businessman revealed that he has received several offers for the club, but none of them have met his standards.

Allam put the club on the market after he was unsuccessful in trying to change their name to Hull City Tigers, a move he says would make the club more profitable globally. A move which some sections of the club's support fought vehemently.

After the move failed, Allam then unsuccessfully tried to buy the freehold of the KC Stadium from Hull City Council. It was at this point he decided to sell.

In total, Allam believes he has put close to £190 million of his own money into the club since he took it over in December 2010. That figure includes a spending spree on players worth £68 million last season, before the club was relegated from the Premier League, followed by another £22 million this summer. A figure which was offset by the lucrative departures of Robbie Brady and James Chester.

Allam says that he is resolved to sell the club, as he is reluctant to keep putting his own money forward, while his attempts to increase it's profitability are blocked. He also claims that he will not make further attempts at changing the status quo:
