Paul Richardson claims his consortium is within EFL approval of becoming Birmingham City’s new owners. Together with former Argentine footballer Maxi Lopez, the businessman and Blues fan are aiming to own 21.64 per cent of Birmingham Sports Holdings within ‘a couple or three weeks’.
Richardson told BirminghamLive St Andrew’s, which is currently owned by Birmingham City Stadium Ltd, will be included in the first part of the deal, with ownership of the remainder of the club to transfer in the next two to two-and-a-half-years.

“We will be adding to the team that we have got, we will assess the team that is here first and add to the team as we see necessary. Probably a CEO and CFO,” Richardson said, confirming that Southall will be coming in and admitting that he has ‘a little bit of history yes'.
Richardson added: “I have known Matt for over ten years, a personal friend, we need someone in this club that has experience in a tough environment, we have got some tough decisions to make as we move forward and we believe, myself and Maxi are right behind him, that he is the right guy to do it. I know all about the history, we have talked about it extensively. Matt, along with the CFO, will be reporting to myself and Maxi.
“We discussed everything, as I say Matt is a personal friend of mine so I know in depth about everything and there is always more than one side to a story at the end of the day. We are very clear and concise with it so no problem at all.”

Odd that you bring this up this morning when literally an hour later there is a Breaking News story about it.
get ready for the lawsuit from Bassini !!! I want £5m to go away lol
That interview with Paul Elliottt still sticks with me, from the time he tried to claim on TalkSport that he was still the owner of the club (and not Sandgaard).

Don't know much about Maxi Lopez but when he states that Matt Southall is 'a friend who he has known for some years' then I probably don't need to know much more. Argentina is one of the most corrupt places on planet Earth, Maxi Lopez and Southall are a perfect fit.

It's Paul Richardson who has claimed to be Southall's friend. Maxi is a former footballer, good friends with Messi and not with Icardi'
Still makes me laugh that Bassini was on talksport telling everyone he had exchanged contracts, was buying the club and should be owner within a couple of weeks. 3 weeks later the EFL said they hadn't even had a single bit of paperwork.

Birmingham is the shit hole of headache accent. It quite literally is a dreadful sound to make people shudder.
It's a lot worse than Liverpool
AND it hasn't gone through yet.........more HOPING it will over the next few weeks.
More holes than a fine bit of Swiss cheese.
”Make me an offer”.
God, I hate all these c***s so much.
I would not want to be BCFC fan right now. I wouldn't even wish that situation on Palace or Millwall
Looking at companies House it appears even Paul Elllliottttt has more money than him. Maxi Lopez is being taken for a ride here.
