Laurence Bassini identifies next Birmingham manager ahead of St Andrew's visit

Laurence Bassini is pushing to finalise his bid to take control at Birmingham this week and is considering installing John Eustace as boss.

The controversial ex- Watford chairman revealed earlier this month he has agreed to buy out the club’s largest individual shareholder Vong Pech, who has a 21.64% stake.

He then aims to takeover the whole club in the next two years for £36.5million, including staged payments totalling £26.5m and £10m. Bassini has secured funding from West Ham owner David Sullivan’s investment company. The deal also includes a further £10m promotion bonus if Championship Birmingham reach the Premier League by 2026
