Birmingham boss Eck unsure of Yeung plans

Birmingham City boss Alex McLeish admits he doesn't know what the future holds under new club owner Carsen Yeung.

He said: "Only what you've read this week, it's all pretty much in the open now, but as soon as I get a chance from the current board's say-so I'll speak to Carson Yeung about my ambitions for the club.

"There's nothing that I really know until I sit down and chat. The comments he's made from China this week, he's an ambitious man and I'm ambitious as well. I look forward to working with him."

From the fans' point of view, uncertainty still surrounds Yeung and what he will bring following his attempted takeover two years ago and the upheaval that followed, with many pointing to the disruption as a contributing factor towards Birmingham's relegation in 2008.

But McLeish himself is not looking at it that way.

"I've never felt uncertain about the whole thing," he added. "I like to think the cup is half-full, think 'there's change coming, let's embrace it and make it work'. Rather than fearing what's going to happen.

"It's new, exciting times for Birmingham City Football Club and Birmingham City fans and everybody who's already at the club."
