The Chinese family behind the bid to buy Hull City are determined to invest in English football despite the collapse of the takeover.
Billionaire property developer Dai Yongge and his sister Dai Xiu Li ran into issues with the Premier League's approval process.
The family have told Sportsmail they remain 'seriously interested' in buying the club from Assem Allam although their right to exclusive negotiations has expired. A seven-figure deposit has been paid.
If the Hull takeover cannot be salvaged, the Dais will turn their attention to other English clubs.
