Birmingham City have new landlords at Trillion Trophy St Andrew's, following the sale of the majority 75% share by the stadium's owners.

Speaking to BBC WM, football finance expert Kieran Maguire said the move was "housework to a large extent".

"It will give the holding company of Birmingham City a bit of cash to play with as they've got bills to pay," the senior teacher in accountancy at Liverpool University said.

"They'd already sold a quarter of the stadium and now they've sold the other three quarters. But, as far fans are concerned, it should have zero impact.

"St Andrew's is an Asset of Community Value status. So, if anyone was worried that the ground might get knocked down and turned into a block of flats, that's not going to happen.

"The downside of the deal is that if Blues wanted to do something with the stadium, if let's say they got back to the Premier League and wanted to expand, then they'd have to get the permission of the landlord to make any changes."
