Blues in chaos after board threaten to quit

A MISERABLE day for Birmingham City descended into outright chaos last night after chairman David Gold hinted he may resign and director David Sullivan insisted he wants to quit following the club’s relegation from the Premier League.

The two board members were angered by abuse directed at them and their families by home supporters as the club suffered demotion to the Championship for the second time in three years

Gold afterwards likened the whole ordeal to a near-death experience, saying: “I feel dreadful. I can understand the fans’ disappointment at relegation, but never have I seen them being so abusive. Am I talking about a minority, or is it a majority? If it’s a majority I will be left with no alternative other than to resign as chairman of this football club.”
