Hull Tigers saga frustrates Mike Phelan

Hull caretaker boss Mike Phelan admitted to growing frustration over the club’s ongoing takeover saga but said he remains confident of becoming manager on a permanent basis.

Phelan confirmed he is considering an offer made to him by Hull this week but was not sure when his own future would be resolved, while the club is currently in talks with two different consortiums keen on buying out the Allam family.

“We are in discussions,” said Phelan, whose side take on Arsenal at the KCOM Stadium today.
