Birmingham owner Carson Yeung's right-hand man, Peter Pannu, has insisted there will be no bad blood when they meet previous owners David Sullivan and David Gold at Wednesday's Barclays Premier League game with West Ham at Upton Park.Gold and Sullivan ended a 16-year reign at Blues earlier in the campaign when selling to Yeung in an £81.5million deal and recently took charge of the Hammers.And acting chairman and finance chief Pannu is adamant relationships will be cordial.Pannu told the Birmingham Mail: "The other party have taken over at West Ham and we wish them well. In fact, I did congratulate them myself."We are, after all, football people but work is work and we have to delineate on that very clearly."I will shake hands in the boardroom. I have no problem with that and I have had a chance to have a conference with David Sullivan and David Gold."
