SMW and Pannu

“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.

Guarded Optimism
Peter Day of the Soccer Management Worldwide consortium told the Birmingham Mail last night that they were “ready to do the deal” to buy a stake in the club. However, there is a strong indication from Hong Kong that there may be added complications to the deal due to the HKSE apparently making preliminary enquiries about various aspects of BIH’s corporate governance.

Two Weeks In
Today marks two weeks since (according to Jeremy Wray at least) SMW were told that they were the preferred bidder for purchasing a stake in Birmingham City FC. As yet there has been no announcement as to what is going to happen and life at St Andrew’s has continued as normal with the club being linked with former striker Wes Thomas.

Preferred Bidders
Since news broke of Birmingham International Holdings receiving an “indicative, non-binding offer” for 24% of Birmingham City PLC there has been a lot of talk about how long the whole sale process will take.
