This process - which involves the ‘fit and proper person’ test - could yet run beyond the end of the transfer window and, as a result, both the outgoing and incoming regimes have to agree on all decisions involving player acquisitions and sales over the coming week. Crucially, caretaker boss Mike Phelan is also a key part of these discussions and Sportsmail understands he is likely be handed the role on a permanent basis. please log in to view this image Caretaker boss Mike Phelan is set to be handed the Hull job on a permanent basis please log in to view this image Abel Hernandez celebrates against Swansea and Hull have won two from two league games please log in to view this image Chinese property developer Dai Yongge currently has his own man at the KCOM Stadium Chinese property developer Dai Yongge and his sister Dai Xiu Li currently have their own man working inside the KCOM Stadium alongside vice-chairman Ehab Allam, son of owner Assem. Senior figures on both sides of the deal believe Phelan deserves a chance to lead the team through the Premier League season, although the Dais are also thought to have mentioned current Republic of Ireland boss Martin O'Neill, who is yet to sign his contract extension with the FAI. However, Sportsmail understands the entire Hull squad want to see Phelan - the former assistant to Steve Bruce - remain in charge after winning the first three matches of the campaign. please log in to view this image Hull celebrate their win over Exeter in the EFL Cup and the players want Phelan to remain The 53-year-old, though, could be installed as head coach with a director of football also appointed in due course. Rob Price, the current head of performance services at the club, is highly-regarded within the game and is one candidate for such a role. The Dai family, meanwhile, are likely to be in attendance when Hull entertain Manchester United on Saturday tea-time having watched their opening-day victory over champions Leicester City. They made their fortune by converting old bomb shelters into underground malls during the nineties. They also own Chinese second-division club Beijing Renhe. please log in to view this image Favourites for the drop, Hull began their season with a 2-1 win over champions Leicester
Consultant of what how to totally **** up the running of a football club and piss off it's supporters
Exactly, according to the Mail on line they already have a person in situ, and everything is agreed with the sale, bar the PL rubber stamp on the fit and proper person test. Also, MP is to be appointed on a permanent basis and transfer target have been agreed upon. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/fo...tml?ITO=1490&ns_mchannel=rss&ns_campaign=1490

I guess because they are still for the moment the owners they have to be involved, but the fact that the new owners are sitting next to him obviously indicates they are overseeing what he is doing.
If the Allams had any sense they would just let the Chinese have their way. But of course they'll want to be involved.
Actually, it's not a fact, they claim to be 'the most visited English-language newspaper website', they're actually the eighth most viewed news website in the world, after Yahoo News, Google News, Huffington Post, CNN, New York Times, Fox News and NBC news. The other UK sites in the top 15 are The Guardian (10th) and the BBC (13th), I'm surprised the BBC isn't higher.
Ssssh, I teach that when I deliver PR courses. I was always dubious about the 'fact' to be honest but I couldn't be arsed to research further.
