Gold rebukes Savage after handshake refusal

BIRMINGHAM chairman David Gold has launched a stinging attack on Robbie Savage after the midfielder refused to end their feud.

Savage and Gold were involved in a war of words after the former Welsh international midfielder moved from the Blues to Blackburn in acrimonious circumstances during the January 2005 transfer window.

Gold decided Wednesday’s Premiership game between the clubs was the right time to bury the hatchet and was left bitterly disappointed when Savage brushed aside his handshake.
