Former Argentine footballer Maxi Lopez has emerged as a new potential investor into Birmingham where boss Lee Bowyer is on the brink.
Brum’s Chinese owners have stopped attending home matches this year since a huge protest at their 2-1 win over Barnsley in January. The Championship club have slipped to 20th after just one win in eight games with boss Bowyer admitting he is in the dark on plans for next term, which is the final year of his contract.
The club remains owned by Birmingham Sports Holdings Limited under Chinese majority shareholder Paul Suen. He wants to retain his stake in Birmingham to keep his company’s listing on the Hong Kong stock exchange but is now speaking to investors about selling a stake worth up to £30million.
