Hull Kingston Rovers in 'talks with investors'
- Published
Cash-strapped Hull Kingston Rovers have confirmed they are in talks with possible new investors.
The Robins lost half a million pounds last year and chairman Neil Hudgell and vice-chairman Rob Crossland recently reviewed all the club's operations.
However, chief executive Mike Smith told 大象传媒 Radio Humberside they had not received a takeover bid.
He said: "Takeover is a strong word. At the moment we have investors keen to see what they can bring to the table."
Rovers have been linked with a possible takeover by Hull City Football Club owners Assem and Ehab Allam.
Last season, Assem Allam put 拢1m into the club because he said he had done nothing for east Hull, where Rovers are situated.
However, sources suggest the Allams are not considering further investment at this stage.
