The Tigers boss is yet to contact the 29-year-old former England international - and his club was not among those sent a glossy brochure outlining his qualities.
However, he is hoping to arrange face-to-face talks after Owen's Newcastle deal expires at midnight next Tuesday.
Brown: "He is still connected to a football club, we haven't been given permission by that football club to talk to him, so we will honour that.
"But he will be available from July 1 and hopefully Michael will give us the time of day and we can get around a table, then who knows?"
The majority of Toon fans would LOVE to see Owen suffer relegation a second time in 12 months ... after being part of the reason Newcastle were relegated last season.
Will he go to Hull? What other options does he have? He's obviously a spent-force ... nowhere near as good as he THINKS he is.
