Its Mally Walkers business who has been after Hull for 2 to 3 years.

It would be a big risk to buy Hull, but one that could pay off in the long run, if teh run was run right (one the field) someone could make a lot of money,

Seems unlikely. The asking price has always been the sticking point before, and I think £6m is actually higher than the last one that killed a deal.

Also seems an odd point in the economic cycle to be stumping up that kind of cash for something which is unlikely to generate much of a return on investment in the near future. If ever.

Mally is an astute bloke, if he didnt think it would be good business he wouldnt want to do it.

Still nothing on the news though so I guess its a wait and see, but cant see it tbh
