London - Birmingham City's future as a Football League member is assured and there is no danger of them folding despite their parent company going into receivership in Hong Kong, the Championship club said on Tuesday.
Birmingham International Holdings Limited (BIHL) said in a statement to the Hong Kong Stock Exchange that it was calling in the receivers due to "fractious and inharmonious relations within the management".
In a statement on their website (www.bcfc.com), Birmingham explained: "The club wishes to reassure its supporters and staff most emphatically that no winding up petition has been filed against the company (BIHL) and that it is therefore not in liquidation.
