Larsson Agent Hits Out At Gold

Thu 17 Jul, 01:09 PM


Sebastian Larsson's agent has hit out at Birmingham chairman David Gold for blocking the Sweden international's St Andrews exit.

Gold claims that Larsson will only leave the club "over my dead body", with both Blackburn and Newcastle believed to be interested in his services.

Manager Alex McLeish is facing a battle to retain the services of his leading players following Blues' relegation from the Premier League on the final day of last season.

And Per Jonsson is unhappy that the midfielder is not being given the opportunity to move away from the Midlands outfit.

He told Sportbladet: "It's not funny to hear when he (Gold) says things like that.

"Are we Swedes being punished because we are kind and don't nag to leave?

"Do you need to become enemies with everyone at the club to be allowed to leave?

"He has said things like this before and still sold players anyway.

"Maybe Birmingham will get an offer they can't refuse. I hope it will be solved."

  1. why is it agents are always stiring everything up, there is larssons agent, mcfaddens agent all trying to generate a move away for them cause they know they will get a big ct of the fee, if the players want to leave why not come out and say it like men, rather than hoping your agent can get you a move. agents are going to be the death of football, the sooner they stop being used the better!!!
