Tigers keen for conclusion
Hull City chairman Paul Duffen claims the club would welcome an amicable conclusion to the Cesc Fabregas spitting row.
Tigers assistant manager Brian Horton has alleged that Fabregas spat at him in the aftermath of Hull's 2-1 FA Cup quarter-final defeat at Emirates Stadium earlier in March.
KC Stadium boss Phil Brown has supported his number two, who contacted the League Managers Association regarding the subject, and the Football Association is investigating.
Fabregas announced on Saturday that he considered the incident over, but Hull are due to supply evidence to the FA on Monday.
Duffen, though, is adamant that his club would rather reach a good-natured agreement with the Gunners, telling Sky Sports News: "There is certainly no question that Hull City would rather focus on football matters.
Drama
"And if there was an accommodation between the football clubs, that would be an elegant way of moving forward.
"This is nothing to do with anything other than an incident which has been picked up and followed through by the regulatory authorities and we are, therefore, co-operating with that fully.
"If there could be an easier way of moving forward which was less of a drama then, of course, we would be happy with that."
And Duffen is confident that the FA will uncover exactly what happened.
"There's no question in my mind that Brian Horton, Phil Brown and the coaching staff and players saw something happen that evening," he added.
"I have absolutely no doubt something took place and I'm sure the inquiry will find out all those facts and details."
