Mike Phelan says he is no closer to becoming permanent Hull boss, claiming contract offer 'keeps changing'

Hull caretaker boss Mike Phelan claims the terms of his contract keep changing as he appears no nearer to becoming the club's permanent manager.

Phelan will take charge of his seventh Premier League match on a temporary basis against Chelsea at the KCON Stadium on Saturday and continues to thrash out a deal to replace Steve Bruce.

The Tigers' owners, still in protracted takeover talks with several separate consortiums despite announcing they hoped to complete the sale of the club during the last international break, first offered Phelan a permanent contract two weeks ago.
