A statement from the City read: "In line with the notification of the company's delisting that was made on 14 October 2009, as of 7.00am today, the Company is delisted so that its shares are no longer admitted to trading on AIM."

The statement also confirmed Yeung, Vico Hui and Michael Wiseman as the sole directors of the company and club boards.
