Birmingham boss McLeish in contract discussions

Birmingham City manager Alex McLeish is currently undergoing contract talks in regards to a new deal.

The Scottish tactician is in discussions with club owner Carson Yeung as it is quite clear the club is keen to hold onto him after the great job he has done with the promoted side in the top flight this term.

McLeish admitted talks were under way and he said he was confident an agreement could be made.

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

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