Birmingham City fans had the disappointment of being knocked out of the Capital One cup by Stoke City on penalties last night in a thrilling match at St. Andrews. Meanwhile, their owner Carson Yeung, seen by many Blues fans as the architect of their current misfortunes, has been standing trial in Hong Kong on money laundering charges.
The prosecution alleged that some of the funds obtained in this way were used to buy Yeung’s stake in Birmingham City. A verdict on the former celebrity hairdresser is not expected until the new year. Meanwhile, the club remains strapped for cash.
