								<span>Carson Yeung is still interested in taking full control of Birmingham City, according to his spokesman Sammy Yu.<br><br>Yeung is the club's largest individual shareholder after buying an initial 29.9% stake last summer.<br><br>The
 Hong Kong businessman was later heavily criticised for not completely 
buying out chairman David Gold and co-owner David Sullivan.<br><br>But Yu said: "Hopefully one day we can take the club over. All we have done is support the club."<br><br>Gold
 claimed the uncertainty over Yeung's long-term plans cost Birmingham 
the services of manager Steve Bruce, who left St Andrews to take over at
 Wigan in November.<br><br>Bruce kept the Latics in the Premier League, 
while Birmingham were relegated to the Championship under his successor 
Alex McLeish.<br><br>"We thought that if we got involved in the club at 
least for some time, then we could take over and guarantee that nothing 
will go wrong," added Yu, who is chief operating officer of Yeung's 
investment company Grandtop International Holdings.<br><br>"But then 
when an article appeared in a Birmingham match programme saying that Mr 
Sullivan would not deal with Mr Yeung, it made us feel disappointed 
because it was not even close to the so-called deadline to buy the club 
outright.<br><br>"We have been very polite but they have been quite 
unreasonable. We didn't ask for anything nor have we done anything to 
hurt the club."<br><br>Yeung had been set a deadline of 21 December 2007
 to complete his buy-out, but the Blues released a statement to the 
Stock Exchange on 20 December to announce that discussions had been 
terminated.</span>
