Jeremy Wray
Due Process
“Just hurry up and sell the club.”
It’s a viewpoint I can readily understand from Birmingham City fans. Since the double blow of relegation from the Premier League and Carson’s arrest in the summer of 2011 it’s been a constant question on fans’ lips – when will BIH get around to selling the club so Birmingham City can move on?

When is a bid not a bid?
Jeremy Wray has been vocal in the press in the last few days about a bid being made for Birmingham City.

“Unbelievably Complicated”
It’s now one week since the self-imposed deadline of three weeks due diligence has elapsed, and Birmingham City seem no closer to having new investment. Although there can be announcements on the HKSE until 11pm HKT (4pm BST), it does seem unlikely that there will be any major announcement today as there has been no halt called on trading of shares.
