Birmingham City in bank deal

Birmingham City FC have offered the club’s entire assets to HSBC to guarantee future loan repayments.  The loan reflects concerns about the situation of the club’s holding company, Birmingham International Holdings.   The club is currently the subject of a transfer embargo because of a failure to submit accounts on time.
