Gold to wave goodbye to St Andrew's
Gold was willing to continue in the role under Yeung after the departure of fellow co-owner David Sullivan, managing director Karren Brady and his brother Ralph Gold.[LNB]But Yeung wants to bring in Vico Hui, the current chief executive of his company Grandtop International Holdings, to fill the role.[LNB]Gold was offered the chance to stay with Blues in a vice-president capacity, but the 72-year-old turned it down.[LNB]Yeung's representative, Peter Pannu, told the Birmingham Mail: "We have a lot of respect for David Gold and the excellent job he has done for the football club.[LNB]"Unfortunately we couldn't offer him the position of chairman which is what he wanted. Vico Hui is to come in as chairman.[LNB]"Regrettably our offer to David Gold to become a vice-president has been turned down so we were not able to come to a suitable agreement."[LNB]Gold replaced Jack Wiseman as chairman in 1997 after taking control of City along with Sullivan four years earlier.[LNB][LNB]
