McLeish confirms Birmingham contract talks

Birmingham City boss Alex McLeish has revealed he's opened new contract talks.

The Scot joined Blues two and a half years ago and has transformed their fortunes after the initial disappointment of being relegated from the Barclays Premier League.

He led them to promotion last season and has helped to establish City in the top 10 of the Premier League during the current campaign and also reach the quarter-finals of the FA Cup.

McLeish said: "We have started negotiations regarding a new contract. I have met Carson and (vice chairman) Peter Pannu.

"They gave me some initial figures. I'll get my advisors now to meet with them and will let them thrash it out."
