Hull City Puts Takeover Talks On Hold Until Transfer Window Ends

Premier League side Hull City put takeover talks on hold until September to "ensure stability during the transfer window," according to the BBC. The club "opened talks with an interested party in May." It has been up for sale since '14, after the FA "turned down" Owner Assem Allam's request to change the name to Hull Tigers. A club statement said, "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 of injuries sustained to key players during pre-season." Hull -- which won promotion to the top flight in May -- will open the Premier League season "by hosting champions Leicester" on Aug. 13 (BBC, 7/20).
