It strange because Carson Yeung doesn't sound dodgy at all...
At age 16 he lived in London. At age 19 he returned to Hong Kong to work. Up until the 1990s he was in a Tsim Sha Tsui barber shop called "Vanity", and was trained as a hairdresser.
Yeung did not begin his investment career until he made his first fortune from the HK real estate industry.[4] In 1997 he began having some investment trouble from the Asian financial crisis. He tried to recover from investing in penny stocks in 1999 to use shares to cover failed shares.[4]
The BBC says that he "made his fortune on penny stocks in neighbouring Macau."[5]
In 2004 he then co-founded Greek Mythology, a luxury casino in Macau.[4] He was also once the head of a human resources department at a gas company.[6]
Yeung was the chairman of Hong Kong First Division outfit Hong Kong Rangers from 2005 to 2006.[2] In 2005 he made an £80,000 donation to the local football association after buying shirts worn by famous English footballers at auction.[6]
In 2007, he unsuccessfully attempted to take over Birmingham City.[7] Yeung failed to deliver the money for the takeover by the deadline of 30 November 2007 and as a result the takeover bid fell through.

They've probably been trading whilst insolvent for a couple of years.

More to the point, if they did go bust, how many teams above us would lose points?
They won't, will they? It just doesn't happen. They stiff their creditors, and carry on, like Palace x2 etc...
This day and age it looks as no real professional team goes bust . There is always someone to come up with a dodgy recue plan or a way round giving creditors sweet FA yet they carry on trading regardless as though its ok to fail in business. Even smaller non league teams seem capable of doing it . In fact its almost ok to do this in everyday business, as being a bankrupt today seems to be no blight on society or your ability to start up again and continue to rip off the same customers as before.
I find it INCREDIBLE that anyone lets themselves get in the position where they are owed money by a football club these days.
