Money In Football ep1: Birmingham City | Planet FPL

On the first Podcast of a new feature that will be exclusive on Planet FPL Patreon Suj & James investigate the ongoing potential takeover of Birmingham City which has been mainstream news in the UK media recently due to potential new owner Laurence Bassini's bizarre phone calls to radio station TalkSport. Is Bassini serious about purchasing the second city club? Or is he just a chancer? It's known that 21/6% of the club was sold last month but to an us yet unknown buyer. Who is it? There's links to Bassini's time at Watford, bankruptcy, recent registered new companies, why West Ham United feature in the story and Bassini's links to a number of football clubs who have been in a struggling financial position. Plus, Birmingham's struggles pre dating the current ownership, a stadium left in decay and there's a set of football fans quite rightly very worried about the future of their football club...
