Follyfoot Posted June 2, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted June 2, 2022 4 minutes ago, useless said: The English Football League says that it will be making enquiries with Birmingham City Football Club following the revelation by RFA earlier this week that Cambodian diplomat Wang Yaohui secretly controls an eighth of the club’s shares. Under English Football League regulations, Birmingham City is obliged to disclose both to the league and publicly the identity of any person who directly or indirectly holds “any Significant Interest in the club.” Birmingham’s ownership disclosure does not name Wang, something that could cause problems for the club... ... Former associates of Wang, who asked not to be identified citing security concerns, confirmed to RFA that Wang was Dragon Villa's beneficial owner. The statement is also echoed in other affidavits lodged as part of the Singapore court case. Records also show that Dragon Villa has been involved in the ownership networks of several other Wang-linked enterprises. Should the EFL find the club violated regulations by failing to disclose Wang’s control of Dragon Villa – and therefore 12.8 percent of the club – then Birmingham City could face sanctions from the league.

Popular Post It's Your Round Posted June 2, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted June 2, 2022 I just love the fact that the scum are part owned by a company called Dragon Villa. That will really hurt them, it will fester away in their tiny minds in the same way their lust for their siblings does. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah but if they get a simple punishment then the likes of reading and derby might take legal action against them. They will be watching closely. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meregreen Posted June 2, 2022 Share Posted June 2, 2022 They should retrospectively award a points reduction for last season, how hilarious would that be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted June 2, 2022 Share Posted June 2, 2022 The EFL don't decide point deductions, it goes to an independent panel. This is something different though, I think it's unprecedented, can't think of another instant where a club has been owned by someone that hasn't been declared to the EFL or anyone else, as I said it's worse because if he had have taken the fit and proper persons' test he would have failed it, so it could be viewed as him concealing his identity for that purpose. It might help them in the long run, because will probably help them get new owners, as the owner is seemingly not only in trouble with EFL, but HKSE, and the law in several different countries, but in the short term I can see the EFL or whoever makes decides the sanction coming down really hard on them, they won't want future dodgy owners thinking they can do something similar and if they get caught the punishment will be lenient.

PerryBarrPet Posted June 2, 2022 Share Posted June 2, 2022 SHA the gift that keeps on giving. It’s kept me amused for decades! Harsh punishment yes but not so strong as to put them out of business - I can’t think of a better place to give me a good belly-laugh. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure if anyone noticed us sneaking out when that penalty was given, but before it went in we were out the ground and half way to the car. I must have been about 12 or 13.

I first went to a SHA v Villa match at the Sty in the 70’s and sat in the railway end on more than one occasion - not sure if we were allocated it but seem to remember it being a mix. I was around 9 or 10 at the time and remember walking back to the car and having to dodge all the bricks and bottles being thrown at us. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was my first game and i was nervous. I was stationed on the old players lounge where the away team coach reversed alongside. He was annoyingly friendly and nice to me as he walked by.
