Phelan hints Hull close to buyout after stunning day

Hull City boss Mike Phelan has hinted they'll be under new ownership in the coming days.

Representatives of a Chinese consortium were present as Hull shocked Leicester City on Saturday.

"We shall have to wait and see, but it might be a big week this week," he said.

"This club has been getting taken over for about eight to 12 months - on and off, on and off - but apparently there's new buyers out there. I want to leave that to them to take care of.

"How long that might take, if there is a deal on, is up to the powers that be. My job is to enjoy my weekend because there's not many Saturday nights you can enjoy in the Premier League and this is one."
