Saturday September 19, 2009 Kick off: 15:00 Day 6 KC Stadium
Hull City v Birmingham City
Emphasising that stability at the English club would be their initial watchword, Yeung also spoke of his vision of Birmingham helping to cure China's football ills.
"Over the 10 years China has had its sports boosted, but there has been no development for football," Yeung said.
"So I would like to make my humble contribution... In the future when the team is stabilised, we will recruit Chinese players who have potential.
"My biggest wish is to bring in the English Premier League club to China, promote English professionalism and football concepts to the Chinese, and to let the Chinese know how an English football team is managed."
Grandtop's chief operations officer Sammy Yu reiterated that they were keen to work with manager Alex McLeish after the takeover, and said management on the business side of the club would be strengthened and not necessarily replaced wholesale.
