The row between West Ham United and Birmingham City continues to rumble on.

The Sun says David is set to take legal action against former outfit Birmingham over suggestions the West Ham co-owner is too old to be running a football club.

Gold, 73, is upset by Brum's vice-chairman Peter Pannu, who said: "When people reach a certain age and have made their money, they should retire. Their faculties become affected."

Pannu also criticised Gold and David Sullivan's takeover of the Hammers.

He added: "They have caused an earthquake."
