Birmingham going to be big in Hong Kong and China! Lols

[Mexel]

Hong Kong businessman Carson Yeung, the new major shareholder in English Premiership side Birmingham City, has said that he plans to bring Hong Kong and mainland Chinese players to the club. Yeung, who completed the purchase of 29.9 percent of the team last week, said he hoped to promote the club in China by recruiting one player from Hong Kong and two from mainland China.

The 47-year-old, who had said he bought the club for the love of football as well as the enormous market potential in China, said he was currently looking out for suitable players. Yeung, a former hairdresser who reportedly made his fortune by investing in penny stocks, said he hoped to be able to report on new developments in the next three months.

He also plans to open Birmingham-themed cafes and restaurants in Hong Kong, China and possibly elsewhere in Asia, as well as football training schools. Yeung bought his stake in a deal worth about £15 million pounds. It would allow Yeung to trigger a bid to assume full control.

On Monday, Yeung, who purchased the club's shares through his clothing company Grandtop International Holdings, confirmed that he was considering buying out the remaining shares in the club. If he is successful in a full takeover, Birmingham City would become the ninth Premiership side to be owned by foreign investors.
