dbsweeney 0 Posted October 6, 2009 Share Posted October 6, 2009 I truely believe that sometime over the next three or so years, the same will happen with us. Despite what the detractors say, we are a club with history, and our stadium and support base are a great attraction to potential buyers. However, I don't think that a purchase by a multi-billionare would automatically mean success ... but at least it would put us on an equal playing ground with the other clubs owned by rich bastards.

I'm amazed it's not happened already. It's clearly not that difficult to sell a football club - 10 Premier League teams now have fairly new foreign owners. Liverpool could be set for a second takeover of that type. A Saudi prince apparently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Billy Castell 0 Posted October 11, 2009 Share Posted October 11, 2009 Yeung has a reputation for interfering with football related matters apparently. He owns/owned the Hong Kong Rangers, which he often picked the teams, dictated coaching etc. If that's true, then Brum could be fun to watch in the same way Hearts are with Vladimir Romanov.

ChezGiven 0 Posted June 30, 2011 Share Posted June 30, 2011 Birmingham City's Carson Yeung on money-laundering charges http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-birmingham-13970534 Can't believe a Premier league club owner might not have been "fit and proper". I love this bit from the lawyer. "All they're saying is that he has got a lot of money, and he hasn't paid a lot of tax," "I mean there's lots of money in my bank account, not as much as his, but I don't pay taxes because it's not taxable."
