Birmingham's board are not going to get involved in a war of words with former boss Steve Bruce.
When he was unveiled at Wigan he made a point of thanking Blues' players, backroom team, the staff at the training ground, but not the board.
Chairman David Gold told the Birmingham Mail: "I have not had any issues with Steve over his departure. I have not been involved in those conversations with him.
"Despite some of the things that have been said, metaphorically speaking, I shake Steve's hand. We have had six great years working together. I thank him for that. Two promotions in that time - I won't dwell on relegation.
"What he has achieved has been fantastic, like all of our managers."
Co-owner David Sullivan commented: "We have always been a supportive board and are nice people to deal with.
"There were a few bitter comments the other day, which was a bit sad really, but I'm not going into that."
