Alex McLeish furious following rift with Birmingham board on 1m deal

Furious: McLeish Alex McLeish has fallen out with his Birmingham board after being accused of greed over contract talks. The former Scotland manager is furious about a jibe by vice-chairman Peter Pannu, right-hand man of owner Carson Yeung, that he is 'no Mourinho'. Talks on a new contract for McLeish, who won promotion and then took the club to ninth place on a shoestring budget last season, have been going on for months without any sign of agreement. He is currently on around £750,000 a year and wants a rise to £1million, but Pannu said: 'He is asking for a very large amount of money which I was not prepared to meet.'
