The Professional Footballers' Association say Hull's players are willing to help the financially stricken club by agreeing to defer wages over the summer.
The Tigers' head of football operations Adam Pearson has put a proposal to the playing squad which would see them pass up a proportion of their salary - thought to be 30% - in the short term on the understanding they would be fully repaid once the club's finances are back on a more even keel.
PFA deputy chief executive John Bramhall told Press Association Sport: "It is out there that the club have made that request and that process is ongoing as we speak. The players are broadly in favour of looking to help and support the club moving forward. Within the principle of that request, the players are looking to see if they can work with the club on that basis."
