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
