Hull City owner Acun Ilıcalı says his immediate priority is to keep the club in the Premier League this season before seeking to establish it as a sustainable top-flight brand.Ilıcalı, speaking to Sky Sports News in a video shared on Saturday, said his ambition for Hull had progressed gradually since he took over the club, beginning with a top-10 finish before the side eventually secured promotion to the Premier League.“Yeah, first of all, step by step. I said to our fans when I came to the club, I said I want to go step by step. First, top 10 was my target.“Actually, we missed three points in the play-offs in my second year. So my target was top 10 and after that play-off push, then we went to play-offs, then Premier League.“Now, the only thing I’m trying to do with the team is to stay in the Premier League for this year,” Ilıcalı said.João Pedro nets in Chelsea’s 2-2 draw with Hull City | ESPNIlıcalı said securing top-flight survival would then allow him to pursue a longer-term model aimed at establishing Hull as a recognised Premier League club.“If we can stay in the Premier League this year, hopefully, then I will want to make a brand,” he said.Related NewsCamara focused on Monaco season after Chelsea deal falls throughEPL: Spurs go four games without scoring after 0-0 draw with EvertonEPL: Alonso wants ‘boring’ Chelsea wins after Hull hold Blues to 2-2 drawThe Turkish businessman pointed to Brentford and Brighton as examples of clubs whose approaches to football he admires.“There are two, three teams that I really like their approach to football.
