The July issue of CITY Magazine is on sale now and features an exclusive interview with new Tigers Chairman Paul Duffen who discusses the recent takeover of the club, his plans and ambitions for the future.

"It's a tremendously exciting time for the club - and for myself," he said.

"I haven't come here to run a club with the sole aim of staying in the Championship. The Premiership is the goal.

"I'm very aware both of the impressive history of this club and the fans' ambition to see Hull City challenging to play in the top flight.

"I would not be sitting here and I would not be getting involved unless I shared that ambition."
