It's the international break, so Mox and Tatts are taking a trip down memory lane. This is Part 1 of a special look back at the "absolutely crazy" 15-year Far East ownership of Birmingham City . As two journalists who covered it from the very beginning—and with Colin also having worked in a senior role inside the club during this period—they share their unique insights and unseen stories from a period Moxley describes as "too fanciful for a film script" . They start at the beginning: David Sullivan and David Gold's 2007 sale to a mysterious Carson Yeung and the "presidential style" 2009 takeover press conference where he pledged millions . They cover the "unparalleled success" of finishing 9th in the Premier League and the "bright new era" that peaked with the 2011 Carling Cup win . But with the highs came the chaos. Tatts tells "bonkers" stories from the 2010 pre-season tour to China, including a chaotic train journey with chickens and the infamous X-Step sponsorship deal . The episode then charts the crash: relegation, Carson Yeung's arrest and jailing for money laundering , the "Armageddon" survival at Bolton , the TTA takeover, and the controversial sacking of Gary Rowett – a decision Moxley calls "akin to sticking a loaded revolver to your head".
