Hull City owner Ehab Allam has reiterated that it is still his and his families ambition to find a new buyer for the club whilst also taking steps to repair their relationship with the club's supporters.

December will mark the ninth anniversary of Allam's acquisition of the Tigers and the Egyptian is still continuing to improve his relationship with a fan-base that has had cause to be alienated under Allam's reign.

One controversial decision that started the fan's objection to Allam's ownership was back in 2013 when he attempted to re-brand the club "Hull City Tigers" calling the name "City" as "irrelevant."

Whilst looking for a buyer for the club, Allam has in the short-term started to take steps to heal his past mistakes with the fan-base.

The club have introduced a series of "family fun-days" at the KCOM Stadium for supporters to enjoy before the game and have re-added the name "Hull City" to the club's crest.

Speaking to Hull Live on Tuesday, Allam said: "We are in (takeover) talks and we have been for a while but that has got nothing to do with this process, the plan hasn’t changed.

"I think it’s a perception from the public that we haven’t been as invested in the club but that’s not the case. We’ve always wanted the best for the club, even if our decision making hasn’t seemed so to the fans," Allam continued.

Discussing his past decisions, Allam stated: "Every decision we’ve made has been made with the best intentions and that’s not going to change after we sell the club. We still want the best for the club.”

Allam has revealed recently that there has been a number of potential buyers for the side but nothing has yet to reach the advanced stage of negotiations so far.

The club has been up for sale since April 2014 but so far no potential buyer has been able to produce the relevant funds needed to take control of the club.

The Verdict

Football fans can find it hard to forgive and Allam has certainly made some big mistakes during his tenure at the KCOM Stadium.

His latest revelations however, show that he has maybe acknowledged where he has gone round in the past and, although he is actively looking to sell the club, really wants to improve the relationship with the supporters.

Although Allam could only be at the KCOM for the short-term this should suggest to supporters that he is a good character and who is willing to rebuild the trust between the club and the supporters.

Despite Allam's good intentions, I believe many Hull City fans will look to a takeover as the right direction for the club.
