BIRMINGHAM City boss Alex McLeish says Carson Yeung’s takeover of the club has brought a ‘buzz’ around St Andrews. Hong Kong billionaire Yeung, above, purchased more than a 90 per cent stake share in the Premier League club and can now buy the rest of the shares on a compulsory basis. Funds have also been promised to McLeish, who said: “There is a buzz about the place, these are exciting times.”
