Former Hull City owner Assem Allam says the club's 'City' name is irrelevant.
Allam, 82 and his son Ehab, sold the club to the Turkey-based Acun Medya Group on Wednesday, ending a tenure that lasted just over 11 years.
Their time in charge, during which Hull twice won promotion to the Premier League, saw them controversially try and change the club's name.
Their attempts to rebrand as Hull Tigers - after the club's nickname - were rejected twice by the FA.
"It's irrelevant, city or county or town," Egyptian-born businessman Allam told BBC Look North.
