The Takeover
A Quiet May for a Change
It’s the first weekend of the close-season and it’s all gone quiet around St Andrew’s. Gary and the players are no doubt on holiday somewhere, Panos is out and about in the Chinese restaurants and bars in town (I saw him in the Arcadian this time last week) – and I’m at home scratching around for something to write about.

OP Video Podcast – Who else is involved in TTA
I recorded a little video down by the harbour today talking about who else is behind TTA. I’m not going to lie – although I’m confident on at least one of the people definitely being involved this is heading into speculation territory now. Still, with the EGM hopefully being announced soon we should know more soon enough.

OP in Hong Kong – Day 5 – The Future Pt 2
One of the main reasons I came to Hong Kong was because not every piece of information needed about what is happening is available online. While I’ve made as much use of public information records as I can, there comes a time when you need to speak to people to get a true feel for what is going on.

OP in Hong Kong – Day 5 pt 1 – The Future
Will the club be taken over during the summer? Will there be money for players to be signed?
I’ve lost count of the number of times I’ve been asked those questions in the last few days. Without a crystal ball it’s impossible to say anything for definite – and let’s be honest, if I was that clairvoyant I’d be giving Mystic Meg a run for her money.

OP Video Podcast – Desperately Seeking Suen Pt 2
Today I went to try and find out more about the man who would take over Birmingham International Holdings; to seek the offices of Trillion Trophy Asia and see if we could find out who Paul Suen Cho Hung is and what kind of person he might be.

OP in HK – Day 3 – Desperately Seeking Suen Pt 1
Birmingham International Holdings have been in negotiation with Trillion Trophy Asia now for nearly a year for the sale of the holding company and/or Birmingham City FC. Very little is known about TTA – a situation I aimed to rectify today.

One More Year
The official Birmingham City website posted an article this afternoon about the chances of Paul Robinson being given a new contract by the club. The 37-year-old defender has made 23 appearances this season (21 in the league), and with ten clean sheets coming in those appearances will feel his chances are good.
