officials over a new contract for some time, but as yet no deal has been agreed between all parties. Birmingham were keen to reward McLeish
with a new deal after guiding them to ninth spot last season on the back of winning promotion to the Premier League the season before. The contract talks have been dragging on for a number of weeks now with Birmingham vice-chairman Peter Pannu
claiming McLeish is asking for too much money. McLeish is also thought to have fallen out with the Birmingham board following a jibe from Pannu that the Scot is 'no Jose Mourinho'.
