Greebo joeIts a mad deal we keep hearing without actually knowing the deal, this pelley fella is an incredibly tenacious and successful buisnessman who has a very impressive cv.
I take a lot of hope from this and until we know more about what they are planning and who might be involved i intend to remain positive. Something i never felt under Ropez.
Me too, positive things are:
The initial deal includes the ground, even with the low shareholding;
The people involved give good vibes (going from this board's postings):
The HK stock exchange issue probably means that the deal has to be structured over time so the new people are not necessarily being 'played'.

I know you have made it very clear that you are not involved, however, if you were approached, would that be something you would be interested in? With this current group or any potential owners?
I think it would get a lot of fans on side if they saw someone like you involved with it.
If I was approached with a contract to pay for my professional services, then I would consider signing an NDA and taking it up depending on the situation.
If I was approached to be something like a spokesperson or a "fan liasion" type, I would politely decline.
Hi Dan more good work from you. Thank you.
On the various threads Gary Cooks name was mentioned. Is he involved do you know ? Was he not involved with the Americans failed bid for Derby ?
dorkIf anybody was to purchase the 21.64% , could they then buy shares on the open market to take their stake past the 30% needed to make a formal takeover offer , or is that different in Hongkong ?
This seems to be a massive source of confusion.
The 21.64% of shares on offer are in Birmingham City plc (the club's UK parent), NOT Birmingham Sports Holdings.
Of the remaining 78.36% of shares of Birmingham City plc, 75% are owned by BSH. Therefore to gain control, you'd need to buy them from BSH.
The confusion I think has arisen cos Vong Pech owns shares both in the club and in BSH.

Genuinely surprised to see this response Dan to be honest.
If it was done right then could definitely be effective I think.
What type of thing could you see yourself doing in this context mate?
with all the Villa name-check references associated to our current regime giving their game away
DRAGON VILLA
VILLALBA
ORIEL SOLDEVILLA
etc etc
at least it’s refreshing to have a connection to a well thought of football name, Pelley (Pele!)
if it happens let’s hope it’s the one, let’s hope it’s the right one to put the good ship Birmingham City FC on a better course
but clearly there’s a long way for it to play out

Speaking hypothetically, your professional services would be what exactly Dan? Content writing?

I have absolutely zero desire to be any kind of spokesperson or fan leader. I can only imagine the stress it would cause, and the absolute shit I'd take online for doing it, based on the limited amounts of shit I already take.

Absolutely, the words poisoned chalice don't quite cut it.
I was saying I was surprised to see you would entertain any sort of role at all, and wondering what roles would interest you
I'm not getting my hopes up as it is Blues after all.
What we need is some multi billionaire to come in, pay the owners whatever they want to eff off and start afresh. I know it's never going to happen in a million years but a man can dream 😂
this is it really, in an ideal world this regime whoever they are just need paying off and clearing off
it is after all what happened over the Expressway the jammy gets
I think the vilers owners picked them up for a song didn't they? Dr Tony wasn't in a position to negotiate. They were on the point of selling the club car park.
Our lot don't seem quite that desperate ATM, unfortunately.
So in short. The new mugs are a bit more professional about things than Maxco.
There is no indication they are well funded
Most importantly, we are stuck with the current shower of shit for an unknown amount of time.

Pretty much. The only gleaming light is it they do manage to jump every hurdle and buy the club. We'll be off that damn HKSE!

… in a few years time
One hopes the money in will be re invested into diversifying the listing. That or Suen brings in a company to prop it up…
