Russell Bartlett is a businessman and property investor and the chairman and majority shareholder of Hull City football club.[1]

He purchased Hull City from Adam Pearson in June 2007 as part of a consortium with Paul Duffen and (reportedly at the time) Martin Walker.[2] They had made unsuccessful attempts to take over West Ham United and Cardiff City.[3] Bartlett and Walker jointly own the Fortis property company.[4] Duffen later stated, however, that Walker is not a shareholder in Hull City.[1]

On 29 October 2009, with the club reportedly in financial difficulty, Duffen left his position at Hull City following disagreements with Bartlett over the direction of the club.[5] Bartlett re-appointed Adam Pearsons Chairman on 2 November, with one of his objectives being to attract outside investment - Bartlett is reportedly willing to sell up to 20% of his stake in the club.[6]

Following Hull City's relegation from the Premier League in May 2010, a boardroom reshuffle took place at the club, seeing Adam Pearson step down as club chairman, a position which Bartlett himself then took up.[7]

On 10 November 2010, it was reported that the owner of East Yorkshire based Allam Marine, Assam Allam along with his son Ehab Allam had agreed to purchase a controlling interest in Hull City from Russell Bartlett. It was announced that Bartlett would remain involved in the club, although no information regarding his position as chairman was released.[8]
