OP Video Podcast – Visiting BIH
Having tried to correspond with the Receivers by email in the past, I thought it would be a good idea to try and speak to them today, to put faces to names and to ask questions about what is happening.

OP in Hong Kong – Day 2 – BIH
In the last 18 months have been eventful for Birmingham International Holdings. Following the removal of Peter Pannu as CEO and MD, the company underwent seismic changes that eventually brought about the appointment of Receivers and potentially the end of the Carson era. Are we close to seeing the next change as the receivers move on and a new board comes in?

OP in Hong Kong – Day 1 – Arrival.
With the season now petering out to a lukewarm conclusion and all dreams of playoffs and promotion now completely dead, I think the time has come for us to be able to take our focus away from matters on the pitch and look at what is happening behind the scenes.

Asking the Questions
As March comes to an end it brings us not only towards the conclusion of the current season, but potentially also the conclusion of the current phase of the ownership saga with Birmingham International Holdings looking to get their shares re-listed sooner rather than later.

Why is the takeover taking so long?
One question that I have been asked a lot of late is “what if?” What if Carson overturns his appeal? What if Blues pull off the impossible dream and gets promoted? What if Trillion Trophy Asia decide they don’t want to fund Birmingham City any more?

OP Video Podcast – E&Y – One Year On
On this day last year Birmingham International Holdings announced to the HKSE that they had successfully applied to go into receivership. As time has gone on, there have been uncertainties as to where the future lies and I’ve tried to answer those questions here.

Kung Hei Fat Choi
![Talking Points sponsored by John Hicken Industrial roofing and cladding materials](/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/john-hicken.jpg)
Today marks the first day of the Chinese New Year – the year of the Monkey. In Hong Kong the stock exchange will be shut for three days as the local populace celebrates. The sad thing is for us in Birmingham it doesn’t seem to matter that the HKSE will be shut – BIH seems to be in absolute limbo with no sign of further movement.
