Casron Yeung is back in to buy Birmingham, NO NO NO NO. Destroyed us in 2007 and he is going to do it again.
'CARSON YEUNG is finally set to buy Birmingham for £70million.
The Hong Kong businessman's previous takeover bid collapsed in 2007 and resulted in boss Steve Bruce leaving to join Wigan.
But Yeung, Blues' biggest shareholder with a 29.9 per cent stake, is now close to sealing a new deal for the club.
His investment company Grandtop International Holdings has agreed to buy the 23.22 per cent share owned by David Sullivan and the same proportion owned by the Gold brothers, Ralph and David.
This time Yeung will be paying around around £20m more than he was willing to pay two years ago.
As Yeung has been on the St Andrew's board since 2007, Premier League chiefs could approve the deal by the time Brum host Stoke on Saturday week.
The takeover would see the game lose two colourful characters in David Gold and Sullivan, who bought Brum in 1993.
They, along with managing director Karren Brady, have transformed the Blues from a third-tier club with a crumbling ground into top-flight challengers with a plush stadium.
The sale also puts a doubt over the future of boss Alex McLeish who guided Blues to promotion.
Yeung is intent on pursuing his dream of turning Birmingham into a top club in the Premier League - and the Far East.
As he made his 2007 move, he said: "Birmingham will be the most popular team in China."
But that protracted bid delayed internal contract talks so much that boss Bruce left for Wigan. '
