Birmingham boosted as boss McLeish pledges future to Midlanders

Birmingham boss Alex McLeish has unfinished business at St Andrews even after leading the club to Carling Cup glory. He has led Blues to promotion, their highest ever top-flight finish - ninth - and now a shock cup success over Arsenal at Wembley last weekend.

He said: "I just signed a new contract after protracted talks and I am happy at Birmingham.

"It is a great start for me in terms of winning a trophy here inside three and a half years.

"It is something I never thought we could achieve in such a relatively short time but we are still developing.

"We still have a lot of work to do. With the right organisation and planning, we can go onto better things."
