An announcement to the Hong Kong Stock Exchange on Tuesday revealed imprisoned Carson Yeung Ka-sing’s reign as owner is almost over.
The 61-page statement outlined how and when Paul Suen Cho-hung’s Trillion Trophy Asia (TTA) will complete their purchase of Birmingham, setting out details of a complex restructuring which includes a “capital reorganisation” to pave the way for TTA to take majority ownership.
Hong Kong-based Suen and Daniel Sue Ka-lok would be Birmingham’s directors.
They plan to make available HK$120 million for signing new players.

Birmingham fans may wonder who Suen is though, with little information on the new owner and seemingly no photos of him anywhere online.
