McLeish Cool On New Contract Talks

Blues boss Alex McLeish is playing it cool over new contract talks with the club and does not envisage any problems when it comes to finalising a deal.

McLeish has entered the final twelve months of his current contract at St Andrews, but his advisors have been in contact with the club`s vice chairman and talks are now expected in the very near future.

He told the Birmingham Post: ‘What is the situation with my contract? Peter Pannu has been a little bit busy and my guys (advisors) were a little bit busy before. But they have made contact now and I’m hoping that something can get done fairly quickly.’

‘I don’t envisage any hold ups. It doesn’t matter, I am still contracted for another season anyway. Hopefully we will get things tied up.’
