    It's a second look to see what seating capacity they can get when they open the all you can eat Chinese buffet style restaurant.

    It amazes me that OLM and others know about a potential Chinese buyer and their visit, yet local media don't! !

    Phil Buckingham and Burnsy have the easiest jobs ever, just retweet what others say and copy and paste what the club tell them

    Hull City in advanced takeover talks as Chinese consortium visits training ground

    please log in to view this image


    Hull City owners Assem and Ehab Allam have taken a significant step towards the sale of the club after staging advanced talks with a group of investors from China and Hong Kong.

    The Mail understands the brother and sister team of Dai Yongge and Hawken Xiu Li are leading a consortium currently in negotiations with the Allam family and formally tabled an offer to buy City at the end of last week.

    A group representing the interested party visited the Tigers' training ground at Cottingham yesterday and are hopeful of further progress in talks over the coming weeks.

    Any proposed deal still has a number of obstacles to overcome. The exact sum and structure of payment has not yet been agreed, while the process of due diligence would also need to be completed. A second as yet unnamed group from China has also declared an interest that could bring another twist.

    Takeover talks were placed on hold, publically at least, by the Allam family last month with a view to selling the club once the transfer window closes on August 31, but there is a growing expectation that a reign that began in 2010 is now nearing its end.

    Leading the race to take charge is a consortium that includes members of the Dai family, whose vast riches have been earned through real estate in their homeland. The group already owns Beijing Renhe, a football club in China's second tier.

    Exclusivity has not yet been granted to any interested party, suggesting a takeover remains a distance away from completion, but the Autumn could well bring the change in ownership that most supporters have come to crave.

    City have technically been up for sale since April 2014 when an initial bid to rename the club as Hull Tigers was rejected by the Football Association. Owner and chairman Assem Allam began looking for buyers “within 24 hours" of that verdict but it has only been since the turn of the year that the prospect of a takeover has solidified.

    A US group, led by businessman Peter Grieve, twice came close to buying City during the summer only to see proposed deals collapse late in the day. Grieve had been at Wembley to see the Tigers beat Sheffield Wednesday in the Championship play-off final, a result that secured an instant return to the Premier League, but was unable to finalise an agreement that would have seen him seize control in time for the new season.

    City are again making no comment on the latest developments in a potential takeover, having kept tight-lipped since July 20 when a short statement confirmed no sale would take place until September.

    It read: “Whilst the owners intend to continue discussing a sale to interested parties in September, the priority for the coming weeks is strengthening the squad ahead of the start of the new Premier League season, particularly given the number injuries sustained to key players during pre-season."

    City mark their return to the Premier League against Leicester on Saturday but it remains a deeply divided club. The Supporters' Trust has announced plans to protest against the Allam family and their “ill-considered ideas" that have included a controversial membership scheme that has concession prices scrapped for the new season.

    The club remain without a permanent manager after the resignation of Steve Bruce last month and have just 13 players fit as the days count down towards the top-flight campaign.

    I hope they didn't take them to So Wok on Finkle Street for tea. Gone right downhill lately that place.

    Could be a deal breaker for me.

    The line about a second interested party has already muddied the waters. What a surprise, just before the game a sort of blow your socks off announcement .

    Don't stop the protest.
