Tigers supremo denies holding talks with Egyptian businessman
Hull City owner Russell Bartlett has poured cold water on claims of a possible takeover at the club.
Bartlett was reportedly holding negotiations with multi-millionaire businessman Assem Allam about buying the Championship outfit.
But the Tigers chief insists no talks are in place for the Egyptian-born entrepreneur to take the reigns.
"I am not in negotiations to sell the club with anybody and there is no prospect of doing so," said Bartlett.
Hull have been in dire financial straits in recent seasons after spending outside of their means during their two-year spell in the Premier League.
Bartlett, who has been a major shareholder at the club since 2007, took up the position as club chairman after Adam Pearson's resignation in May.
