Birmingham City: Sammy Yu promises that Alex McLeish will run team affairs
Sammy Yu has insisted that neither he nor Birmingham City's new owner Carson Yeung would interfere on the football side after the stories of Yeung’s alleged meddling when he owned Hong Kong Rangers.
The brief handed to him by Yeung is to liaise with Blues manager Alex McLeish, not only at first-team level but oversee Academy and youth development and build links in that sphere in the Far East.
And he said he could work with ‘beautiful man’ McLeish.
“You can relax with us,” assured Yu. “Carson won’t disturb the manager’s decisions.
“Of course, we will have a very in-depth talk and work together. And we will share opinion because, myself, I have been involved in football for 40 years now and perhaps I can share some experience with Alex.
“Alex is a beautiful man, I think he is lovely. He is open-minded and he can talk with me without any problem at all. We can work together, yes.
“I’m Chinese and he’s Scottish – but we can communicate well!”
