Co-owner vows to quit Birmigham
Co-owner David Sullivan has vowed to quit Birmingham after the club were relegated from the Premier League.
And David Gold may step down as chairman after the abuse aimed towards the directors box once it became clear there would be no 11th hour escape from the drop.
Fans chanted the 'the board must go' as wins for Reading and Fulham meant City's 4-1 home win over Blackburn was in vain.
Sullivan is urging Gold to buy out his stake in the Midlands club so he can end a 15-year association.
Sullivan said: "The fans don't know anything about business and nothing about football. I've had enough. I don't want to be here next season.
"Please buy me out David Gold. There are five or six clubs out there who would welcome me with open arms. It is time for me to go to a new club."
Gold was visibly stressed and shocked by the extent of the fans' anger with many of them believing a lack of investment has led to Birmingham's second relegation in three years.
Gold said: "I am a bit distressed by the fans' reaction. I understand the disappointment of relegation. Together we have been there on a number of occasions going all the way back to Barry Fry getting us relegated to the old Third Division.
"The people doing it in front of where you are sitting are the ones that really hurt because you can see the hatred in their eyes.
"We had to get David Sullivan's boys out of the way because for a moment it felt as if they were in danger."
