David Gold remains hopeful of staying with Birmingham City after Carsen Yeung completed his takeover yesterday.
Gold told Sky Sports News: "It's an end of an era.
"It's been an amazing 16 years at the football club, 12 of those as chairman.
"I look forward to a new challenge and I hope that we can find a way to work together."
He is preparing to learn of Yeung's intentions for him, knowing the new owner may want a new chairman.
"There isn't a done deal," Gold said. "I am still chairman, I suspect for at least the next three to four days... and then we wait and see where that takes us."
