Hull City v Nottingham Foresyt: Tigers deny link to Egyptian businessman
Bartlett, however, has discussed possible investment from Allem, who is a vice-president and sponsor of the club. The Tigers are fighting to balance the books after relegation from the Premier League but have been unable to off-load 40,000-a-week midfielder Jimmy Bullard or defender Kamil Zayatte, who has rejected a move to Leicester City.
Bullard returned from a five-month spell in the wilderness in midweek to inspire victory against Derby County and will keep his place today against Nottingham Forest.
