What the Hull’s going on? Dundee United left to wait for Andrew Robertson payment

Dundee United have received an apology but no cash from Hull City in relation to the Andy Robertson row.

The Tannadice club are angry that the £1 million-plus first instalment of the £2.85 million fee for the Scotland left-back has not been paid on time by the Barclays Premier League club.

The money is understood to have been due to arrive in the Tangerines’ bank account last Friday but failed to materialise.

United’s frustration is such that they even instigated talks between the SFA and the English FA in a bid to move things along, all to no avail.

The final straw appeared to come on Thursday when it emerged that the Tigers were preparing another multi-million-pound move, this time for Blackburn and Scotland striker Jordan Rhodes.

Hull did contact Tannadice officials last night to say they are sorry about the delay but United, who are due the second instalment next summer, are considering taking the matter to world governing body Fifa if cash isn’t forthcoming.

Robertson made an eye-catching debut for Hull against Queens Park Rangers last Saturday and has been praised by his new manager Steve Bruce.
