Departing Birmingham City co-owner David Sullivan is ready to jump straight back into football.

"Everybody says I should call it a day and 'What do you need all that grief for?' But the reality is that, if an opportunity comes along, I'll go back in," Sullivan told the Guardian. "I think it's wrong to talk about where at this stage because I won't approach any club until I'm out of Birmingham. But, at that point, there are perhaps 10 clubs that I might talk to. I'll see what's around, see who wants to sell and who needs a cash injection."

West Ham United, a club Sullivan has long been associated with, are expected to be on his radar, although he has not ruled out the possibility of looking further afield.

"In a perfect world it will be nearer to home. But, if there was an airport nearby, I could go back and forth by jet. But it's got to be a club with potential. In the nicest possible way, I can't see myself being at Southend, Barnet or Dagenham & Redbridge."
