Stoke City striker Cameron Jerome fears for his former club Birmingham City.
Jerome left St Andrew's last week.
Jerome insisted: "Birmingham need people to take them to the next level. I don't believe the current owners can do that.
"It needs new investment and people with a good football background.
"Maybe starting all over again in the Championship might help if it means new investors come in.
"Birmingham are the ideal club for someone to take on.
"It's screaming out with potential to be a top 10 Premier League club."
