Hull City chairman Assem Allam has revealed that the club has been up for sale for 5 months.
The Egyptian had in April vowed not to continue as the owner of the club if the Football Association do not accept his bid to change the club’s name to Hull Tigers.
He had resorted to the Court of Arbitration for sports for an intervention against the name change rejection.
He said he remained committed to the club and will only remain the owner if the name is changed.
“When I say something, I mean it,” the 75-year-old said.
“If the appeal comes first, no harm done. If the sale comes first, sold. If I sell, I would like to make sure the club is moving to a good home. Better than mine, ” Allam said
“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.”
