Gold: 'Dugarry was bound to leave'

Birmingham chairman David Gold admitted a drop in form and family problems had led to Christophe Dugarry leaving the club by mutual consent.

The 31-year-old, a World Cup and European Championship winner with France, was a revelation when he joined Blues on loan in January last year, inspiring the club to retain their Barclaycard Premiership place in their first season back in the top flight.
